Today, I visited a waterpark with friends. At one point, a woman floating near me suddenly says to me, "How are you doing, honey?" Instinctively, I replied, "I'm well". The woman gave me a strange look and I turned around to find she was talking to her child directly behind me. FML

That's why when a stranger starts talking to me and I'm unsure if it's actually meant for me, I don't reply and wait to see if they try to get my attention. Works perfectly and then I avoid looking like an idiot.

Once, I was in school playing a review game. I had answered a really hard question and the whole class clapped for me. When I went back to my seat, I high fived the person holding his hand out in front of me. I figured it was pretty cool, until I found out he was actually raising his hand to answer the next question.

How is this an FML? This is a seemingly innocuous event in everyone's life.

I submitted a FML just like this but with mine someone waved to me and it got rejected -.-

I have become more comfortable with myself and life in general and like 3 times in the past month I've had people smile and wave or say hi and I did it back only to get the look and realize it was directed behind me. Sorry I thought you were just friendly... Lol

You should have yelled back and say Happy Mothers day

Oh, believe me, this happens to me all the time. I once told a perfect stranger that a coat would look good on her because I thought she was my mum. It happens to all of us! :)
