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 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?

This seems like a good thing to me. You'll get paid AND you'll probably get free skin care.

free skin care!! although, i admit it would be kind of embarrassing to be featured on a commercial for acne removal. But if its a well known brand, it might mean he'd think you'd be exceptionally pretty once you got rid of your acne ^^ there's a silver lining.

why was it obvious that you said yes? most people i know would say no to a random person like that. im wondering if you would also jump into the back of a van to pose for pictures of some guy told you you could get modeling gig from it... sheesh

Aww! It's ok! I had a few blemishes on my face, too but then I tried the Neutrogena® wave and oil free acne face wash. They really work! LOL I sound like one of those commercials. XD Best of luck!
