Today, I was trying sell a customer a top-of-the-line surround sound system. Apparently he was aware that I work on commission, as he threatened to buy the system elsewhere unless I sang Rebecca Black's "Friday" in front of the whole store. Goodbye, self-respect. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

Today, at work, a customer asked for my number. When I declined, he made a huge scene, shouting and scaring other customers. He tipped me seven cents. FML
Today, I went into a music store to look into getting a new guitar. I picked up one that I was interested in and tried it out quietly. A sales representative approached me and asked me to "stop the noise and leave the guitars for serious customers." I've been playing for almost ten years. FML
Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML
Today, I was working retail when a group of older gentlemen came in looking for a good sound system. I showed them a top-range system and gushed about it in detail, trying to close the sale. One of them snorted and said, "See Dave, girls like her are the reason ball gags were invented." FML
Today, I'm a car salesman. I got told to cold call a list of previous customers, but I recognised the names as I phoned them all last week; I told the manager this. He slammed his fist on my desk and told me to stop lying and do as I was told. I got told to "fuck off" 27 times. FML
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML
Today, I found that the product we shipped and what the salesman billed don't match. It's my job to flag such issues, as they cost the company money. The salesman asked me to shut up and be his accomplice, as it was done to please the client. The sales manager had to agree, but said I was causing trouble. FML
Today, I told a customer the bread he wanted has been discontinued. He replied with, "Are you serious? What is your name? I'm going up front to complain about you." I still don't understand how that's specifically my fault. FML

Its amazing what people would do to made a buck. At least you were not asked to remove clothing.

@18 which seems to be truer in this FML? the fact that people will do anything for money, or the fact that people need to do anything they can to sustain themselves? working on commission isn't exactly considered "stable."

Nothing better describes the human nature better than adapting and overcoming an obstacle. There is always a way to better yourself. Just gotta have the heart to try.

Nothing at all. I'd rather rip out my vocal chords.

I'd do it for a night with Adriana Lima

You should've convinced the buyer to purchase the system with its hi-fi quality and quads per channel

Damn, that guy is truly a master of trolling, I could not think of another song that's worse than that one on top of my head. Only thing I can think of is Will Smith's daughter's "whip my hair", which is equally ******* annoying. My question is, how did OP pull it off... I don't know which one is more embarrassing, singing that song in public or running butt naked through busy street..

No! You should have fun with it like you want to do it! Maybe he'll tip you too!

The customer's always right, . . . even when said customer is a douche! Hopefully, the commission will buy enough Jack to drown your humiliation.

**** that, I would never sing that song for a customer. I'd rather get fired before singing that shitty song. Lol.

I can honestly say I have never heard that song. Usually my curiosity causes me to occasionally delve into pop culture but the comments on this have saved me. If it truly is that bad, thank you all.

It's pretty good, you should watch it.

16 - I can also say that I've never heard the song. Usually when people start singing it in front of me I plug my ears and yell "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" as loud as I can, because I've heard some pretty awful reviews about that song.

It's actually pretty good. I recommend listening to it. Loud.

19, on behalf of all the people you Jedi mind tricked into listening to this song, **** you. You owe me a new phone, as I threw mine off my ninth floor balcony thirteen seconds into it. Thanks.

I hate to admit it...but I actually think it's a pretty catchy song compared to most of the crap on the radio. :O

@50, thus why I don't listen to the radio. I don't actually listen to any bands that are on the radio so I have to use my phone if I want decent music. Also, I've heard "Friday" on the radio, when it first came out.
