FAKE.
I heard this fml as a one-liner joke from some comedian(forgot who).
But yes, fuck your life because you have to make fmls out of jokes to try & get attention.

Which maybe the saleswoman felt was appropriate to recite then. Not everyone can be original.

Ok, so I hate saying "fake" for ambigious FMLS, but this one is purely fake (as was the one where the lady was acting like she was on the phone, and the guy she was ignoring said 'i'm here to install your phone').

But yeah... this is so blatantly fake I feel bad for the idiots that voted it in.

I've been seeing this for years.

Maybe this isn't a fake. Maybe the heartless bitch decided to be meaner than usual and hurt that person's feelings. I would call the Company HQ, complain, and get her fired if i were you OP.

This is Steven Wright's joke. He's been saying it for years.

#86, are you kidding me. there are big ass signs up everywhere nowadays in bookstores, and just because the OP didnt know where the self-help books were does not mean her life is fucked. Sometimes these FMLs are nothing more than little stupid things that happen to everywhere. Who moderated this.

I notice no one thinks its a real FML, but perhaps just maybe it could possible have been just a little bit that maybe the lady that said it, was the one stealing George Carlin's joke? (for those of you that can so obviously say it was fake, but not state how you know)

She was funny and my new fave person. That's hilarious. I work the reference desk at the library and hear a million stupid questions a day. I don't mind doing my job but I do get tired of people's utter lack of self-sufficiency. Really. Most of 'em don't even fucking try. At all. pssht

youre lucky, try working in a video shop...theres no complex numbered referencing system, its genres, and sections of them, you say "see the western section? its right next to that" next thing you look over and theyre on the other side of the room. or "other side of that aisle" and they go to the next one. or "your left" they head right. seriously about 1 in 4 people requiring directions ever make their desintation even with running commentary. most times requiring someone to come and help them followed by the usual "oh THERE it is it was right infront of me" of course it was...after you followed me to the correct area you halfwitted moron.
and no its not just that i give shit directions, ive asked others the same thing and it seems to be a trend.

#40 it's your job, so do it and stop complaining. I walk into stores all the time and without looking ask where something is. It's your job to know where things are in the store, library, etc. I think people are being more efficient by utilizing tools to find stuff faster and that's what you are...a tool.

#78, WHOOSH! I don't think you quite get what #75 is saying.

If I walk into a store and am in a hurry, it's often faster for me to ask the nearest employee for some orientation. It's a waste of my time for me to wander around for 10 minutes, trying to decipher the usually crappy store directory (if there even is one) and following the signs posted intermittently, only to find out the item that I was looking for was in another section ("Oh, sorry, that gardening item is in Lawn, not Gardening.")

It stands to reason that any employee working at a store for more than a couple weeks will have a pretty good idea of where everything is, while I who may be stepping foot into a store for the first or second time will not. This is especially true in a book store or library, where one cannot easily distinguish sections by appearance of the items. It's much less of a waste of time for me to simply flag down someone who knows where the book is than to go hunting for it, fail, and ask anyways.

Yes, I've worked in retail. I used to work at a clothing store, where to find the shoe department you just look for shoes, and where Customer Service takes up an entire corner of the building. I had people ask me where these things were. I answered them, because it was part of my job. I was being paid to provide that service to the customers.

If you don't want to serve customers, don't work in customer service. If you have no other job options, then you should be complaining about your lack of options, not annoying customers.

No, that's awesome, 98. I absolutely agree that we should train ourselves to be a bunch of drooling zombies who cannot navigate their way through a room. Nice attitude. Plus, that will come in handy if you ever get stuck in any survival situation where you have to lead yourself out of hardship by your wits. lols. 'Have fun storming the castle' :]

My exact reaction. If this is true, Why is she not my friend?

I agree she has a shitty job maybe it's just her lightening up her own day

#7: What type of sterile society do you live in?

(0)

Yeah! Humor should be a crime punished by death!


....idiot

There's no reason to be like that, #7 is right. It's her job to help customers, there's no reason for her to be rude. It's okay to be funny, too, but this just strikes me as impolite and mean-spirited.

This never happened, it was a joke's all over the internet.

Ok do you know how mind numbingly boring working as a salesperson is? That coupled with the increasingly moronic customers can drive you near insanity. Seriously, some of these people leave and you find yourself asking, "How can this guy tie his shoes, much less function in the real world?" If you don't find a way to make it through the day, be it poking fun at customers and co-workers, reading in your free time, or whatever, you will end up loathing your job.

I love a bit of humour coming from salespeople... what's wrong with it? (admittedly old jokes are annoying though)

(0)

Fuck what you're "getting paid for". When you're standing in one place all day, with someone else's words coming out of your mouth non-stop, after a long time you start to lose who you actually are. Let the damn girl make a joke and shut the fuck up.

(0)

Wouldn't you repeat a George Carlin line? They're hysterical. The saleswoman is a genious for actually having the mind to blurt that out at the appropriate time.
