Today, while waiting for a bus, someone started smoking at the bus shelter, which is illegal in my city. I politely asked him to stop smoking, citing the city ordinance. He just cackled and said that if I'm so concerned about the state of my health, I should start by losing 90 pounds. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was yelled at for smoking at a bus stop, because a woman didn't appreciate me smoking by her children. She did this while waving her own lit cigarette in my face. FML
Today, while I was on the bus to work, a morbidly obese man sat down next to me. When my stop came and I stood up to get off, he just looked at me, said with a smirk, "good luck with that," and went back to reading his paper. I missed my stop. FML
Today, some guy at the bus stop screamed at me because the bus was coming and I wasn’t wearing my mask. I was standing 25 feet from the stop finishing a smoke and there was no one around me. When I sat down on the bus, with my mask on, he stared me down the whole ride. FML
Today, I walked past a few of my coworkers sitting outside smoking. As I got a whiff of the smoke, I coughed. They immediately started to defend their habit, and I was told to "mind my own fucking business." I wasn't trying to be rude; I'm actually allergic to cigarette smoke. FML
Today, I was walking past a homeless guy while smoking; he asked if he could have a cigarette. So I gave him one and said without thinking, "Sorry, it’s a menthol, but beggars can't be choosers." FML
Today, a man in a hurry asked me for a light. Not being able to find my lighter amongst the muddle inside my handbag, I handed him my lit cigarette so he could light his. He took it from me, started smoking it and walked off. FML
Today, I was having a cigarette in a smoking area when a mother with a pram strode towards me and exaggerated a cough to make some sort of point. Reluctantly, I put it out and walked off. I then turned around to see her lighting up a cigarette, and blowing smoke all over her baby. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when I had a coughing fit. The next thing I know I'm being pushed about by a group of guys who were smoking, because they thought I was coughing deliberately to send them a message about smoking being bad. FML
Today, a homeless guy tried to light my hair on fire with a match at the bus stop. FML
Today, a stranger had a go at me for smoking while pregnant. I'm a guy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

While heart disease does kill more people than lung cancer, that guy was a prick.

fat people should not be allowed to have a say about anybody else's health habits. period. obesity costs more than smoking and substance abuse combined.

I understand that not every smoker gets sick, but being around smokers not only makes you smell horrible, but can lead to major problems. There are also plenty of people in the "obese" range that are healthy. And even if they aren't... they don't deserve being subjected to anything else making their health worse.

You being fat hurts no one but you. Him smoking in a bus shelter hurts others. 'Nuff said.

Not entirely true. Fat people generally claim more healthcare funds because of their weight issues. So, it does harm you, as you have to pay for them in a way... Just saying...

the ceos of insurance companies jack up the rates WAY MORE for their own raises then for "fat people health problems" Its utterly shocking how many people don't realize that. Insurance is expensive because big wigs make money and doctors are expensive. doctors are expensive because people sue over EVERYTHING

Telling a guy off for doing something illegal, self-harming, and affecting others negatively is always right. Good for you.

Why so many YDIs on this one? He was smoking in a semi-enclosed area (at the bus shelter), which not only pollutes the air for other people, but it's also illegal in OP's city. She politely asked him to stop, and he tells her to go lose weight. How is that not rude? How is it her fault? So what if she's fat; that's irrelevant.
