Thanks, but no thanks

Today, I held the door for an elderly woman. As she walked through, she looked at me and told me I was a very handsome man and that I should meet her grandson. The woman was my grandmother, and yes, I'm straight. FML

That's actually incredibly sweet. She called you handsome and was scouting out a partner for you.

Well sometimes you just have to take things that old people say with a grain of salt. She is probably just old and senile.

I don't think that's awful! She thinks you're handsome! My grandmother has never complimented me once!

Well she is old, so maybe this is just her way of complimenting you.

At least your grandma actually compliments you. the only time my grandma talks to me is to complain about how "all grandchildren are rotten little *****."

You couldn't go gay for yourself, OP? ; )

Does she have memory problems? It sounds like she was talking to you about you.

She is talking about him to him. That's pretty much the whole FML, but she thought he looked like a girl, or she thought her grandson is gay.

She said he was a handsome man, so I highly doubt she thought he was a girl.

YDI for posting this. How is this, in any way, her fault?

Please read the FML again. Good lord.

I think #24 is the one with Alzheimer's

WOW aren't you quite the little bitch #24

Yes, and Grandma and OP may not know if she has it, so that's why I suggested it.

Apparently she thinks the only person good enough to be with you is you.
