Today, the checkout guy at my local store asked me if I had my hair cut. I answered and started talking about my hair, and he gave me a really weird look. He was talking to his friend, who I hadn't noticed in the queue behind me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got my hair cut short, as it hasn’t been cut in well over a year and I was getting sick of dealing with it. I told the hairdresser I would probably look like a boy but she said it would look cute, and that she’d make sure it looks feminine. I loved how it came out, until the kid at CVS asked, “Can I help you sir?” FML
Today, I went to my hair dresser to get my haircut. When she asked me what I wanted, I told her "the usual". She confused me with another customer and gave me a mullet. FML
Today, I got my hair cut. When I was leaving, my stylist was standing fairly close while we were talking. She reached out to smooth out my hair; I went in for a hug. She didn't want a hug. Everyone who was there just stared at me until I left the building. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line at the check out, some guy came up behind me, plucked a hair out of my head, and ran off with it. FML
Today, I got a haircut, and after thanking the stylist I went up front to pay. The lady behind the counter took one look at me, smiled, and said, "Well, now you'll need a hat." FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML
Today, at the end of my shift with a long line of customers, the older woman I was checking out calmly said, "You should take a minute to fix your hair dear, we have all been talking about it while we waited." FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. The hairdresser at the counter was kind of cute, so I had to say something non-standard. When she greeted me with her hello, I replied, "Guess what I need from you today?" She looked at me, considered, and replied, "An eyebrow wax?" FML
Today, I went to get a haircut and the first thing the lady asked was, "So, do you want to keep the mullet?" What mullet?! FML
Today, I went up and spoke to someone at my local grocery store because I thought he was my neighbor. We chatted for nearly two minutes before he politely said, "I'm sorry, I have absolutely no idea who you are." I still had to finish shopping in the same aisle. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Rude of him to talk to the guy behind you when you're standing at the till. He could've waited. Not your bad OP, don't sweat it.

This is why I always wear a Bluetooth or earbuds in public. No one ever questions me when I start talking to the voices in my head.

That's nice and all, but this guy I know told me that roughly 38% of all intracranial voices are CAUSED by Bluetooth interference! That's why you have to make sure the earbuds are hollowed out. You can even buy them pre-hollowed; the guy who told me the statistic gives me a REALLY good deal on them, coincidentally…

Maybe, but 27% of statistics are made up on the spot.

until he spends ages talking to the guy behind OP whilst the guy behind OP is at the till..meaning that the people behind the guy who was behind OP have to wait.

Or he could just also not do that

I came here to say that. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine when a cashier ignores the customer in front of them to chat with a friend.

Just an innocent mistake, don't fret about it.

I hate when people at checkouts ect talk to people. It's either awkward and confusing if the situation goes as this, or its frustrating and annoying when you're waiting in queue for ages waiting on the cashier and customer in front so finish their damn conversation, FYL, OP.

Nice, no real way to play that one off either.

I'm a cashier and I always find it rude when I'm with a customer and someone in line keeps asking me questions while I'm helping my current customer. Just please wait your turn or find another employee to help you out.

As a cashier, I always make sure there's no customers to help before I chat with a friend. And if a customer comes up, I immediately help them and tell my friend to hold on a sec. It drives me insane when my coworkers try talking to me or their friends when they should be solely focusing on what's important, and that's the customer!
