Miscellaneous: Bad omen

Bad omen

By cutiepatootie - 03/01/2010 05:04 - United States

Today, I was getting ready for a party when I accidentally knocked my blender off the counter. After taking a half an hour to clean up all the glass, I went upstairs to get the spare blender I keep in the closet. I tripped, and broke the blender. I just applied for a waitressing job. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was making a shake at work when the cup fell off the blender. I went to catch it, and instead caught the teeth of the still-spinning mixer. When my hand was still bleeding five minutes later, my supervisor told me to clock out until it stopped. I lost money for getting hurt on the job. FML

Late fee

By Anonymous - 22/11/2023 18:00 - Spain - Madrid

Today, I woke up earlier to food prep for lunch later. Just as I was preparing the ingredients, I dropped a thick glass saucer on the kitchen counter and it shattered like a hail storm - everywhere in the kitchen. I ended up spending more time cleaning it out and obviously logged in to work later than usual. FML

Getting a head start on the Halloween look

Today, while washing dishes for my friend, I managed to break an unbreakable glass and slice my hand open on it. FML

Today, it was my first day at a new job as a waitress for a wedding function centre. As I was opening the door to collect dirty plates from the guests, I bumped into a colleague carrying a tray full of full champagne glasses, all of which fell and smashed on the floor. FML

Today, I was at work, nonchalantly spinning my keys around my finger when they flew off and hit a glass cabinet. Broken glass showered passing customers. I don't think I'll have a job to go to tomorrow. FML

What a trip

By badwaitress - 05/06/2009 17:57 - United Kingdom

Today, I was working as a waitress at a wedding. I was trying to clear the tables as quickly as possible and decided to place a half bowl of soup on top of the pile of plates I was carrying. As I was hurrying back to the kitchen I tripped and spilt the soup all over the bride's ivory dress. FML

Today, while waiting on tables at work, I was carrying a glass of red wine when I lost balance and spilt it everywhere. After cleaning the floor and myself up and after refilling a new glass, I did exactly the same thing again. FML

Today, at a house party someone smashed and spilled their drink. In my own drunken state, I decided to get the mop as someone might fall. I then fell over it and ended up with glass in my side. FML

Not my day, is it?

By ouch. - 10/12/2018 09:30 - United States - Stamford

Today, I was washing the dishes when I gave myself a nasty gash on my leg from the open dishwasher door. After five minutes of cleaning up the blood and wrapping it up, I came back to finish the job only to drop a plate and send broken shards into my foot. FML

Smooth blend

By Anonymous - 08/04/2023 16:00 - United States - Boston

Today, I was excited to try out my new blender, but when I turned it on, the lid flew off and sprayed smoothie all over my kitchen. Now I have a fruity polka dot pattern on parts of my kitchen's walls and ceiling. FML

Really though! Who has spare blenders? And YDI for having such cheap blenders. I've dropped mine countless times (and I am a server...they stopped calling them waitresses back in the 90's by the way) and it never breaks.

Lol really, a spare blender. Do you have a spare refrigerator as well? Oh and to the trolls... Yeah, I'm aware it could have been a gift or something, but the word use is absolutely hilarious. Spare blender.

a waitress is someone who takes the order. a server is a person who brings out the food.

#39 watiresses take the order AND serve it. Take Hooters for instance, she TAKES the order then SERVES it to you but not before sayin "Hi, I'm Sara, I'll be your waitress today."

actually, server is the politically correct title, as opposed to waitress or waitor in my neck of the woods, you call a guy server a waitor and you get skinned so, server = waitor/waitress

Actually, if there is a person who is bringing out the food who is not your designated waiter they are called a 'food runner.' Not a server.

That "server" shit has been going on for a few years now. If the waitress is a cute girl and says, "I'll be your server tonight," I ask, "So, can I have your IP address?" Nerd humor, FTW! And they laugh if they want a tip :D

Why does someone have to be forced to listen to your lame joke for a tip...that's pretty cruel. So you're saying that if someone bent over backwards to give you awesome service but they didn't laugh at your joke because it's dumb, that you would leave them a crappy tip?

Jeez, firepixie, it's not like the joke takes more than 5 seconds to tell, and it's not like I'll stiff her unless I get a guffaw or a howl. Calm the **** down!

I worked in the food service industry and we didn't call it a server where I worked, I would classify the job I had when I worked at a restaurant as a waitressing job, I worked at that restaurant last year, and am trying to get another waitressing job. Server is more for the males working in the industry and the people working at like fast food joints.

Aw! I had a spare blender, too! :D I got it as a gift when I moved out because my father didn't want it anymore, even though I had my own new one. Needless to say I used the old one until it broke, and when it did, I was prepared! To the OP, maybe you have an inner ear thing that's putting you off balance? Get it checked out(if being clumsy is a new development that is)! :C
