Love: Today, a guest at the hotel I work at started shouting at me....

Today, a guest at the hotel I work at started shouting at me. Apparently the street vendor selling sunglasses outside the hotel sold her a pair of 'genuine' Ray Bans for $5. She wanted me to phone the police because she realized two days later they were fake. FML

Today, I was working as a cashier at a restaurant. When I receive $50 and $100 bills I am required to have a manager check to make sure they are not counterfeit. Every manager I found yelled at me to find another manager because they were busy. Frustrated, I just accepted the bill. It was fake. FML

Today, at work, somebody stole my sunglasses. Fed up with the constant theft in my office, I stormed up to my boss, as he had long ago promised to catch the thief. He listened patiently to my rant before pointing out that my sunglasses were on my head. FML

Today, I bought some shoes, but pissed off the lady working at the store by returning them 5 minutes later. She yelled at me and ripped my receipt in half, everyone in the store watched as she threw a handful of pennies at my face. FML

Today, I was working a concert ticket booth. A lady gave me her ticket, I punched it, and told her to enjoy the show. She asked for the “hotel.” Apparently, she thought that the concert ticket cost included a hotel stay, since she traveled from out of state. She cussed me out and had to be escorted out. FML

Today, I went on a cruise. I gave my bags to a porter, and tipped him $5. Later that night, my bags still hadn't arrived at my room, and that's when I realized that I'd paid a fake porter to steal my bags. FML

Today, I was buying an expensive pillow for my mother from a store clerk who wouldn't stop staring at my boobs. After paying, I saw an elderly lady who had dropped a bag, so I walked to help. I walked back to the clerk, who refused to believe I paid. The reason? He didn't recognize my face. FML

Today, while out shopping, a middle aged man snatched my sunglasses off my face, threw them off the ground, and stomped on them, saying, "That’s what you get for trying to look cool, asshole!" I suffer from light-induced migraines. FML

5$ for fake Ray bans glasses is still a good deal.

Hahaha and she fell for that? Yikes! But hey, I would buy any sunglasses for $5, no matter the brand. Sunglasses are just sunglasses to me

I don't understand? It may be a silly thing of her to believe, but it is still illegal to sell something as a brand when it isn't. It is perfectly reasonable for her to want to report it to the police, though I understand she could have done that herself. Since this vendor works outside the hotel though, the hotel might be better to phone as they might know the person better and what their habits are so the police can investigate. The non-emergency number is a good shout. She shouldn't have shouted but I don't understand why you didn't just call the police about it? It is a crime.

If you don't want to be ripped off then don't buy things from strangers on the street

They're an iconic brand that revolutionized sunglasses both for function and style. They were developed to help pilots who were suffering from ailments back in the 1930s. Newer planes of the time allowed people to fly higher than ever. The glare from sun was giving pilots headaches and altitude sickness.
