Today, a man started a deep conversation with me at the bus stop about life, death, and the miracles of things we take for granted every day. I was really enjoying it until he looked at his watch and said, "Oh shit, mushrooms make me lose track of time!" and ran off into the night. FML

Today, I tried hallucinogenic mushrooms for the first time with my friend. Little did I know, they last for around 6 hours, and I had class at 3, when I had to give a presentation in front of 30 people. FML

Today, while on my run, I saw a middle-aged man sleeping near a business condo. I approached him and asked if he was "ok." He grabbed my leg, held onto it with a death-grip, and moped about how horrible his life was - for ten minutes. At least the weather was nice. FML

Today, after being hella single through this pandemic, I was gently stopped by an attractive man on my way to the bus stop. He looked deep into my eyes, and I took my headphones out so I could hear him better. Then, he started moving nervously, took a breath… and offered me meth, before tweaking away. FML

Today, I was talking to this girl who I thought was really nice. We were having an amazing conversation, and as we stared deeply in one another's eyes, she asked me, "Has anyone ever seen you take a shit?" She then began telling me the story of when someone watched her. FML

Today, I after getting off the bus, I realized that the man I was talking to was distracting me so his "buddy" could steal my wallet. FML

Today, I was having a deep conversation with a woman at a bus stop about philosophy. Little did I know, her boyfriend was rummaging through my purse while she kept my focus. I’m a PhD candidate in philosophy, and it was the best conversation I’d had it months. FML

Today, I met a cute guy for coffee. Everything was going fine, right up until he started telling me about his alien encounters and super psychic powers. FML

Today, a guy hit on me. It's such a rare occurrence that I didn't know how to react, so I panicked and said "Sorry, I have to go!" Then I remembered we were on a bus, and just turned around and awkwardly pretended he wasn't there. FML

Today, I got a call from my son’s teacher, saying that he raised his hand during a test to say he "couldn't focus, because the ‘metroids’ are harassing me.” Apparently, he forgot about the test and took a healthy dose of shrooms right before. FML

Today, a girl started talking to me at the bus stop. After it descended into an awkward silence, I jumped on my bus to avoid further conversation. She got on the same bus. And got off at the same stop. I swear the whole bus could feel the tension. FML

For some reason "ran off into the night" cracked me up. It just makes it seem that it was a mythic creature that you're not sure if you really saw or not

hmmmm, one can not simply be that stupid. you must be a real hoot to conversate with.

conversate is a back formation of converse, it is common to use. oh forgive my minor error of cannot, due to the fact I have big fingers and tiny ass keys on my phone.

No, 57, proper grammar says "converse". Conversate is not even a real word.

hmmm im not quite sure why this is even an 'fml'. he didnt harm you in any way and provided you with entertainment. sounds like a funny story to tell your friends. love the ending of this fml, good imagery.

Maybe it was one of those moments where he just felt the spirit of the holidays, he probably could have bad experience with this time of the year and he just needed someone to talk to.

Who cares he was on mushrooms, he was not hostile, was he? And you had a great discussion, win!

exactly my thoughts posted above. op was talking to a stranger who coulda been an ex con, sex offender, etc....so some philosophical man on shrooms seems the least of their worries.

19: Why assume that someone with a criminal record is automatically someone to be avoided? Obviously you should always be cautious with any stranger, but it doesn't help to stigmatize anyone who's ever made some mistakes.

I was just having a conversation about how thinkers on shrooms tend to overflow with ideas when high. I think that it's awesome that you had a valuable conversation with someone. Doesn't matter if he was high when it happened, just makes the story more epic.
