This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff
Guelph, Canada
Box this!
Today, a woman started giving me grief because we didn't have any Boxing Day sales. As I explained to her that dollar stores don't usually have sales, she tried to lamp me. It ended by her getting dragged out of the store. FML

Explain that if the dollar store had a sale, the store itself would be a lie. Parry her lamp attack with enlightenment.

Well people can be crazy but, at least, it all turned out well in the end.

To me, a "sale" at a dollar store means a limited edition supply of a particular kind of item, much the same as a "special" elsewhere. Otherwise, the woman needs to be told to **** off and hope she'll find it cheaper at Walmart :)

Well there is a literal meaning to "Boxing Day."

I feel weird asking this but what the hell does lamping mean?

It means to hit someone. I didn't know it either, but Google was my friend. You may want to use it next time ;)

I thought maybe OP meant the woman picked up a lamp and tried to hit him... Lol.

#32, well I searched for "to lamp" as it is used in the FML (instead of "lamping") and got tons of results

She tried to what you? Lamp you? i-i....what? Did she try and beat you with a lamp or throw a lamp at you or is that canadian slang for aggressively saying sorry?

You should have boxed her in. You know, try to container chest encase she's flipped her lid. The authorities might have found out she didn't know which end is up and shipped her off to the loony bin.
