Tick tock

By older - 10/06/2009 08:18 - United States

Today, I was walking downtown. I'm 57 years old, and I'm pretty well along in terms of hair loss. On top of that, I recently hurt my left leg and am walking with a crutch. I passed two teenagers, who were looking at me, and I overheard, "Yeah, I agree. I'm much more scared of aging than death." FML

Same thing different taste

Today, while shopping, an old man came up to me and told me I should be ashamed for walking around fake limping, and that it's horrible to mock people who actually limp from serious injuries. I wasn't faking, I was born without my right leg and I was getting used to my new prosthetic one. FML

Today, I'm a 20 year-old guy, and my 52 year-old mom has aged really well and looks around the same age as me. Meanwhile, I'm aging poorly and fear that I may soon look as old as she actually is. FML

Today, I was walking to my mailbox when I fell down and couldn't get up. My neighbor walked by with his dog, took one look at me struggling, said, "What is wrong with kids these days, drunk at 9 a.m.?" and continued on. I couldn't get up because I'm still healing from a stress fracture in my hip. FML

Today, I used to look so young for my age that in high school, I was regularly mistaken for a freshman. I never succeeded in getting dates because of it. Today, I'm 25 years-old and regularly get confused for being in my thirties. I guess all the stress from work, loneliness, and rejection really caught up. FML

Today, based on recent x-rays, I have the right knee of a 60-year-old, the left knee of a 70-year-old, and the right hip joint of a 100-year-old who's been dead for 15 years. I'm only 19 years old and my doctor says I'm gonna need two walking sticks by the time I'm 25. FML

Freakout!

By beer guy - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff

Today, I got punched in the back by elderly woman because she thought I was mocking the way she walked as I passed her. I was walking funny because I have a brace-boot on my foot due to the fact that it got run over. FML

Today, I was at work refreshing the shelves when a man turned the corner and said, very surprised, "You look 12!" A few weeks back, two people did the same thing, only they said I looked 9. I'm almost 21 years old, and just very short. Starting to get just a little self conscious here. FML

Today, I looked at pictures of myself from 20 years ago when I was a teenager and realized I have only about a quarter of my hair left. I'm a woman. FML

Today, I had an elderly woman come up to me and tell me how well I pull off the look of being bald. She said that most women can't look attractive without hair. Then she asked me if I had cancer. I had to explain to her that I am, in fact, a man, and I shave my head because I'm a swimmer. FML

Wow those kids are stupid. I can't say that I've never thought this inside my head before though. I hate getting older.

I totally agree with #16. I'm 19 and am already getting really tired of my generation...

i think teenagers, of all generations, will be annoying. Having said this, I fear getting old.

I'm both astounded and surprised. Some teens here know that other teens are rude while others find it hard to believe that a 57 year old would even know what 'FML' means. The second group is obviously a bunch of morons who think that life didn't exist before they graced the world with their presence. Understand this: there is nothing you have done or will do that most adults haven't already done themselves. Plus, we have a whole lot more sex than you no matter how many lies you tell your friends.

Yeah, us stupid teenagers, we're afraid of the same things everyone is. I don't fear death, but I ******* piss my pants when I realize I'm getting older. My grandpa has alzheimer's.

#34....good idea, but then some girl will go post an FML about how she saw a 57-year-old balding man with a raging boner that she somehow gave him (despite the fact that he REALLY got it from taking Viagra 24/7)...lol

#30 does getting old also entail having enough free time to sit around on websites writing carefully worded novels to kids to "enlighten" them? unless you are nearing the 100 years old mark maybe it's time you realize that you never stop growing and then you can stop preaching about "maturity" when you hardly know all there is to know.
