Today, I overheard a girl and a guy sitting behind me on the bus who were talking about Skyrim, one of my favourite games. After a while, I turned around and, as a fellow gamer, thanked them for restoring my faith in humanity. They went very quiet. I'm now that weird guy on the bus. FML

Today, while watching a movie on my iPad, a really cute girl sat next to me. Suddenly, everyone on the bus started clapping. I started to clap very loudly as well, asking the girl why we were clapping. She gave me a strange look. I then realized the applause was coming from my headphones. 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

Today, I had a rough day and just let it all out while I was gaming. A random stranger actually replied to me, genuinely concerned, and I proceeded to vent about all my problems. It was only after they left that I realized a random stranger on the Internet now cares more about my mental health than my own family. FML

Today, while riding the bus, a creepy guy gave me the "rape glare" and another guy repeated every word to the conversation I was having with my friend under his breath. FML

Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML

Today, while on a crowded public bus, a cute girl asked if she could sit next to me. Problem is, I didn't hear correctly and thought she asked if anyone was sitting next to me. I answered no, causing her to walk off angrily and earning me several disgusted stares from other passengers. FML

Today, I was interacting with someone on a video game, and the topic somehow got switched to mental illness. When I told him about my problems, he was very sympathetic and understanding. A complete stranger cares more about me than my actual family. I'm not sure if I should be happy or crying. FML

Today, as I walked on to the bus, the girl I liked whispered something to her friend. Curious, I asked what was so funny. She said she never realized that when I got on, I shook the bus. FML

Today, while I was gaming, a girl using voice chat was probably the most polite person I have ever encountered in my life. It was only after I logged off that I realized she spoke to me with more affection and respect than my own mother ever has in my entire life. FML

Today, I said thanks to a man who got up for me in the bus. He angrily said "no, not you!". The old lady who sat down is now staring at me. FML

While I understand how you'd feel excited about people talking about one of your favorite games, OP(it's mine as well), Skyrim is one of the most popular titles in the world right now. Millions have played it. You're in no way in the minority here. It's great that it cheered you up to hear fellow citizens of Tamriel having a conversation, but next time just keep that warm fuzzy feeling inside, until you get home and Fus Ro Dah out the window without being judged.

Gamers for life. It's a hobby if no one likes the hobby they can go do something else.

Skyrim is a good game, but ive always been a final fantasy man myself. Still, if i heard people talking about any game i liked on public transport, I'd keep it to myself

You've got your priorities all twisted man. The countless hours spent in a fantasy world are what's wrong with humanity these days. Get outside and enjoy the wonders this world has to offer.

Yes, like disease, corrupt individuals and governments, people who try to destroy your life, and idiots at every corner. Gee, I have no idea why someone would want an escape from our amazing reality!

Oblivion was better, just saying.

Except for the repulsive character models, terrible voice acting, unnecessary conversation pie, hilariously nonsensical NPC artificial intelligence, repetitively identical dungeons, no dual wield, sensitive as hell controls which caused you to steal shit by just looking at it, etc. I do love the game, but holy shit what a mess.

Don't get me started on the repetitiveness of the dungeons in Skyrim, the quests in Oblivion were much better and a lot more exciting, not to mention it's got a good storyline, whereas the Novelty wares off from Skyrims after about 7 hours.

You are the weird guy on the bus and... FML and every where else you go! Never eavesdrop, you might hear something you don't want to hear! If you must eavesdrop, never ever insert yourself into someone else's conversation!! That's just plain rude! I hate when I'm having a conversation & strangers have to interject with their 2 cents worth!! YDI!!!
