Today, I was shopping with my friends and I got asked by a man if I could be in one of his commercials. I obviously said yes without thinking twice. I then found out that he wanted me to be the before picture for an acne control moisturizer. FML

Today, at my job in a chemists, I had a customer ask me which acne cream I would recommend. I picked up the brand I use and told her that I've been using it for a year now. After pausing to stare at my face for a second, she thanked me and picked up the competing brand instead. FML

Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream." FML

Today, my workplace had a big employee photoshoot for an ad campaign. I was there all of 30 seconds before the photographer said, "What the fuck? Look guys, this ain't an ad for facial abortions." He then asked me and another colleague to step out of the shot. FML

Today, I had a lady come up to me in a store just to tell me how bad my acne was and what remedies I should use. I got so embarrassed, all I could say was, "OK" and, "Thank you" until she left me alone. FML

Today, I went to the mall with two friends. A modelling scout approached us and asked both of my friends if they were interested in modelling. When the scout finally noticed me, she asked if I was their mom. We're all the same age. FML

Today, I discovered that a company has been using a photo of me for one of those "she lost 50 pounds" online ads. I'm the "before" photo. FML

Today, the creepy skin care guy at the mall with the heavy accent asked me if I was pregnant. When I said no he replied "Oh, too many donuts then?" FML

Today, I was in the Student Union when a man a came up to me and asked if I wanted to be in a study to see how men acted differently when working with attractive women. Flattered and taken aback, I agreed. He then told me I would be part of the control group to see how they act around plain looking women. FML

Those "before" pictures usually have "after" pictures to go with them.... So on the bright side, maybe you could get some free skin care products out of the deal as well?

Wow but um....at least you can get paid for it. I would have been a little hurt but once he showed me that check, I've been alright about it. xDD

......How much did you get paid? And tell them that in order to be in the commercial, you DEMAND that they see to you and make sure your acne goes away! Otherwise, I wouldn't do it. PS deff don't keep that acne, wtf were you thinking having acne that bad?

You automatically say yes to shit like that? I would be creeped out.

Serves you right for agreeing to something like that without asking questions or anything first. I'm with #24, I'd be a little weirded out and suspicious. I don't think I'd ever automatically say yes to something like that, especially without knowing some details.

Agree with 15 That must have sucked though. I'm sorry at least maybe they will also take your pictures for the after. I hate acne but it's just a part of life however much we hate it
