Today, while I was working at Chipotle, a teenage girl asked in all seriousness if she "could have a steak burrito, but with like, chicken instead?" FML

Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant and asked for vegetarian options. They told me, "We have a chicken Caesar salad, will that work?" FML
Today, I was in the line at Chipotle and noticed a very attractive lady in her mid 20's. I deliberately took the table next to her and her friend and happened to overhear what they were talking about. They were both discussing how much diarrhea they were going to have when they got home. FML
Today, I was reduced to tears and called a "useless fat bitch" by a customer I was serving. She didn’t realize that the steak fajitas she’d ordered had steak in them. She said she was a vegetarian. She failed to mention it, but apparently it was "my fault" because I “should have known." FML
Today, I was in line at Chipotle behind the guy ordering for his entire office. FML
Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML
Today, while working as a line cook, one of the servers sincerely asked me, "What sauce goes on a chicken bacon ranch sandwich?" I replied, a little incredulously I'll admit, "…Ranch." She then totally lost her cool and went full-blown adult temper tantrum because I was, "mean to her." FML
Today, I had a customer propose to me. I work at Taco Bell. FML
Today, I ate at Chipotle. There was a girl sitting alone, so I asked if I could eat lunch with her. She said yes, and as I sat down I tried to open my bag of chips. When trying to do so, my hand slipped, and I punched myself in the face. She laughed, and promptly left. FML
Today, I was minding a 6-year old boy. He begged me to take him somewhere. I rang his mum, and she said I could. He picked to go to McDonald's. He ordered chicken. After his meal, he told me he was vegetarian, and wanted to try some meat while his mum wasn't around. I got the blame. FML

Was she blonde by any chance?

that's not offensive at all.

A brunette asking this? Whatcha trying to say? :)
Kateyez_26 13
Or maybe a chubby brunette who stero types? Fyi...Not all blondes are dumb
JMichael 25
I've noticed that it only pertains to female blondes though. No one makes fun of a male blonde for idiocy.

#40: Dumb enough to post practically naked pictures of yourself on the internet. Also, please don't call her a "chubby brunette".
MichellinMan 20
Oh boy, here comes hair color WAR!
Kateyez_26 13
#44 it's called a bikini in a photo shoot. What, you've never seen a girl in one? Figures
_sempiternus 11
#40: Ad hominem really didn't help your case. If you don't want to be referred to as dumb because of your hair color, atleast defend yourself in a way that DOESN'T emphasize your stupidity.

How dair u make that stereotipe. Us blondes ain't dum. No, I don't care when people say the dumb blonde jokes. When I do something stupid, I will even say I am having a blonde moment. People are too sensitive now days.
strngr2hrslf 10
Says the blonde in a bikini as a profile pic. Ya you don't fit that stereotype at all huh? Or are you just playing the part?
\ 28
I've met both smart blondes and dumb brunettes, but most people will agree that "blondes are dumb."
SRNH 3
#42 if they were male it would just be "blond", thus we avoid any stereotype of "blondes".
ashlyn_is_here 8
Awwwe guys, #40 thinks she gets credibility because she's "hot"! Yes, hun, that's a great way to prove your intelligence. Not like anyone can be a model Roth today's computer editing. Because, you know, they totally don't edit every picture before using it...

There is no evidence supporting that blonde girls say or do more dumb things than girls with other hair colors, and I consider it wrong to stereotype any person based solely on appearance traits. I am pretty sure everyone has a 'blonde moment' every now and then. Personally I don't mind a good 'dumb blonde' joke, but if people actually believe that blonde girls generally are dumber than other people, I think they have less between their ears than any blonde.

Next time I eat out, I shall ask for fried chicken that is baked, saltfish without salt, and for dessert....carrot cake, but no carrots.

#2, that's my runner-up. My winner is Spotted Dick -- how is this not an STD?
Enslaved 36
At my job, I have people that will order a buffalo "chicken" sandwich and then question why it's not bison when I bring it to them. :P
mgubgub 4
It's "chicken-fried steak". As in, steak fried in the manner of fried chicken. Not that confusing.
Enslaved 36
If you never had it, the word "chicken" will throw you off. "Steak" doesn't always mean beef (ever hear of salmon steaks etc...?) but it does mean beef in this case.
Zimmington 21
56- "Chicken spotted Dick steak" great dish name
skyeyez9 24
I saw a can of Spotted Dick in the international food section of a grocery store. Some british dessert I think? And a can of Treacle....which I only recognized cause its in the Harry Potter books.

I'm sorry, but how is this a FML... She wasn't very bright, okay, but why does that mean shit for you?

Ahh doesn't it piss you off when a comment gets moderated and you don't get to know what it said?

Today, I made a comment on FML and it got moderated! FML

Yes but then we get to use our imagination to guess what ludicrous thing she could've uttered

I once did a mock impromptu debate in middle school and my team won solely because the other team wouldn't stop saying "like." Our arguments were better formed anyway.

#6: I'll take a bitter cackle over a sour scream. Personal preference you know.
jazzy_123 20
she's that customer that says "uhh yeah can I have a cheeseburger with no cheese...?"
swaggalikethat 22
That BLT, but without the bacon or lettuce…
mikepzz 27
Who the **** takes bacon off a sandwich!?
TheLydster 11
Yesterday at chipotle this lady asked for a rice bowl with no rice.
Nyx_fml 23
Maybe she just meant she wanted one with the same other ingredients that burrito has but with chicken instead? Still, pretty dumb.
dunicha 20
That's not the case here, Chipotle is like Subway, they assemble the burrito in front of you and you tell them what you want in it as you go down the line.
Nyx_fml 23
Oooh. I didn't know that. I've never been to Chipotle.
adyb 12
That sounds so amazing, really wish Mexican food was more popular in SA :(
perdix 29
#78, and I wish we had biltong and boerewors over here :)
NeatNit 32
I still don't see why she was being dumb. I've never heard of Chipotle though, and AFAIK Subway is an underground train (seriously worst name for sandwich chain ever). Anyway I've never been in either and don't know how they work, but I can't see why it would be so dumb to order a steak burrito with the steak replaced with chicken.
Zimmington 21
91- because there was no need to say "steak burrito but with chicken" when she could order a chicken burrito
toneeangel 22
Maybe the chicken burrito didn't have stuff she liked
Xalandra 17
91- ever think that maybe they're called sub sandwiches because the bun they're made on is shaped similar to a subway? For whatever reason I always thought that might be part of the etymology. Or it could be random coincidence and whoever started the Subway chain wanted to play up the fact that they specialize in sub sandwiches. Either way, still not the worst name for a sandwich place ever. But the teenager was stupid because there was no reason to ask for a steak burrito but with chicken. She could've just asked for a chicken burrito. It's like asking for a chocolate milkshake, but with vanilla flavor instead. It's ridiculous.
NeatNit 32
as long as the point gets across there is nothing wrong with the phrasing... when I was a kid with very little knowledge of English (which is not my native language), I visited the US on a trip with family. At some point I wanted to order chocolate milk, and found no way to say it to the cashier other than "hot chocolate, but cold". I didn't know it was called chocolate milk, but I knew 'hot chocolate'. The point is that it doesn't ******* matter. I got what I wanted in the end. In a similar situation I once asked for ice water with no ice. I guess I didn't remember the word "cold", or something. Again, as long as the point gets across it doesn't make a ******* difference. Some people have difficulty phrasing themselves and if you think that makes them dumb, then **** you.

....the most MEXICAN thing about chipotle are the employees. No joke. The food is what my coworkers and I refer to as "fancier tex-mex food."
jenipeo13 2
Because you assemble the burrito or whatever (tacos, bowls, salads and burritos) right in front of the customer. And we have four meats. For her to say that is like for me to ask for a ham sandwich, "but with turkey instead."
Hollywoodgirl79 18
It's times like this that make me ashamed to be a teenage girl
ChenEighty 20
You're ashamed because someone else is an idiot, and you might be the same age as them? That's quite a bit weak minded. You're an individual, not a piece of a mob.
TourettesGuyFTW 25
Schooled!
Hollywoodgirl79 18
I'm aware I'm an individual, yes. I'm saying that because I'm a teenage girl, people stereotype that all teenage girls are stupid because of the few, publicized teenage girls who are idiots.
NeatNit 32
see #9 (just below).
jazzy_123 20
#8 um no. People don't stereotype that ALL teenage girls are stupid. So speak for yourself. I would understand if they asked if it was a blonde, and I'm saying this in a non-offensive way.

There are stupid people in every generation. Not sure how old you are #9, but I'm going to take a guess and say you're part of George Bush's generation and that speaks for itself.

The things that happen while working at chipotle are ridiculous. I feel your pain.
