Today, a customer at the restaurant where I work reduced me to tears by screaming at me, as I nearly knocked out his 2-year-old with the kitchen door, after he let the little boy play on the floor behind it. Apparently, it's my fault I can't see through solid wood. FML

Today, I was dining out with friends. I saw a mom instructing her young child to go to empty tables and take whatever cash had been left. I discreetly told the manager. He confronted the woman and pointed right at me. As she was being thrown out, she tossed a very heavy mug at my head. It hit me. FML
Today, I stopped two little boys from spitting over a railing at the piano player two floors below in the department store I work at. Their mom complained to my boss about me. FML
Today, my manager cussed me out for being unable to keep a customer happy. That "customer" was a senile old twit who had wandered away from his carer, thought our shop was his living room, and demanded to know who replaced all his furniture. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I slipped on a crayon a little girl threw on the floor, causing me to drop the tray of water I was carrying, making me spill it all over her. After getting cussed out by her mom, I was fired for making a customer unhappy. FML
Today, as I was bagging groceries, I looked down to see a 6-year-old urinating on my shoes and the floor next to me. I told his mother that he should take her kid to the restroom, only to be told to "mind my own goddamn business." I was later fired for arguing with the customer. FML
Today, I was bringing a table a bowl of soup at my waitressing job. A new customer taking off his coat threw his elbow out, violently knocking the soup out of my hands and onto his baby in a highchair. The baby screamed; I had a panic attack. FML
Today, while taking to-go orders at my restaurant, a customer called saying he wanted his food well done. He even said, “Burn it to a crisp.” Which is what I told the kitchen. When he came to pick it up, he opened his food, inspected it and screamed, “Not this burned, you damn retard!” and threw it at me. FML
Today, my boss asked me to help train his son, so I put him to work cleaning tools covered in oil. He didn’t warn me his son has a violent temper, and would overreact at being asked to work for a living by dumping the bucket of tools on my head, breaking my glasses and concussing me. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML

I see nothing wrong with a human door stop. However, it should be the dad because he clearly has no mental activity.

I can't see his brain, either.

This is why we should have tests on people to see if they can be parents if they fail they are sterilized to prevent the stupidity from passing onto the next generation

Then no-one would be parents

I so agree 27! And the problem is, that these spoiled and undisciplined children end up turning into self-entitied, monster adults that we all have to deal with and ends up being someone's boss. Parents need to realize that they are shaping who the child will become as an adult and how they will behave for the rest of their lives. If you've got a brat for a child, then they're only going to grow into a brat of an adult that the rest of the world has to deal with.

Aww I hope you feel better OP. I hope his 2 year old son doesn't end up with that terrible attitude.

You should have said something on the lines of "I'm terribly sorry for this, but please understand that I can't see through the solid wood door so you should not have let your child play there. If you want a place where employees have x-ray vision feel free go find one. Have a good day."

Some people do not deserve to be parents if they're THAT stupid.

The only reason I clicked YDI is because you cried over this moron. I would've kicked his dumb ass out of the restaurant before he managed to utter a full sentence to me.

Some of us are more sensitive to being yelled at. I had a customer on the phone the other night yelling at me and I managed to keep it together till I left for the night but for some of us the best way of "letting out" the emotional stress of being yelled at is tears.

45 is right. For some people they deal with that frustration and emotional toll of rude customers and being yelled at by yelling back or getting angry, and some release it all by crying. A lot of people don't like being yelled at or having people mad at them either. I think people tend to cry more from frustration and exhaustion then anything else.

I understand both of you, but no one can make you feel inferior without you allowing them to.

Maybe he shouldn't just let his kids play where they shouldn't and maybe they won't almost get hit with a door.
