Today, while out walking with my son in a stroller, a couple passed by and the girl smiled sweetly at him. It made me really happy, until we'd passed and I heard her say, "What? You're supposed to smile at babies, even if they look weird." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was walking through the store when I saw a little boy point to me and say something to his mom. I was out of earshot at the time, but I got close enough just in time to hear the mom reply, "God says we have to love everyone, even if they're ugly." FML
Today while at my job as a store clerk, I walked by a family. I smiled at their little boy, who responded by flipping me off. As I was walking away, I looked back in time to catch his dad give him a high-five. FML
Today, as I was just finishing my grocery shopping, a little girl and her mother walked past. Seeing the little girl staring at me, I waved. The girl then pointed to me and asked her mother "Mommy, is that man pregnant?" FML
Today, I waved at a baby while standing in line in a store. It started screaming. Its mom looked over in mild concern and gave me a disturbed glare before moving to the next checkout counter over. FML
Today, I was volunteering at a school, as I walked past the swings these two girls smiled and said "wow, you are so pretty!". I smiled back and said "awww, well thank you!." As I walked past I hear them laughing, "she actually believed us." FML
Today, I was at a restaurant when I made eye contact with a baby across the room. It smiled at me, so I smiled back. The baby immediately started screaming. Everyone stared at me like I'd just threatened it. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping, feeling good about myself, until when I was waiting in line at the checkout, a small kid in his mother's arms in front turned to look straight at me and said, "Ewwwww." FML
Today, I was out shopping with my mom. While we were walking, a guy in a car honked at me. I'm not used to compliments, so I was pretty flattered and flashed him a smile. He looked back at me, confused, then shook his head and pointed at my mom. FML
Today, I went to the mall. A little girl was walking around and telling everyone that they were pretty. When she got to me, she gave me a disgusted look and walked away. FML
Today, I was out walking my dog, when a lady called out to me asking, “Is that a boy or a girl?” Assuming she meant the dog, I told her that he was a boy. When I turned away, I heard her say to her kid, “I was talking about the person walking the dog, but whatever,” then audibly laughing. FML

Don't take it to heart, most newborn babies look like potatoes to most people anyway.

At least she tried. I can't work up a smile at babies because to me they are beyond weird--they look, sound, and smell hideous to me, so I wind up scowling at the ones that cross my path. Don't take it personally, OP. Some of us just aren't baby people.

Ah, totally agree! Of course I'll be cordial if I'm forced to be around one, but besides that I don't think there is anything pleasant about babies at all.

What an evil bitch, OP...but ppl are just stupid sometimes. A strong argument for shutting the hell up!

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that someone's evil just because they don't find a certain baby cute.

I don't find any babies cute. Dare I ask what adjective you'd apply to me, 29?

This depends if she was talking about specifically yours or babies in general. But it's fine, your son will grow up to be a fine handsome young man! :)

All babies look weird.

People who aren't that fond of babies think they all look weird. I mean, they are pretty lumpy and wrinkly. Besides, your baby doesn't have to be physically attractive for you to love him, so why should you care what anyone thinks of him?

Considering he recently came out of a ****** (probably), I'd guess he looks not unlike a potato.

All babies look weird. That's part of being a baby. Imagine if babies had the same relative proportions as adults. *shudder*

my son was the most adorable thing to me until he actually got older and i looked at old pics of him and realized that he looked like an alien for the first couple of months. lmfao that statement that all babies look weird the first few months is super legit lol
