Customers, Religion, LGBTQIA+ and Work: Meanwhile, in Westboro…

Meanwhile, in Westboro…

By maconda99 - 06/04/2009 03:14 - United States

Today, I was ringing up a lady and her daughter at the shoe store I work at. The background on my nametag is a rainbow, and when the daughter saw it, she asked her mother why it was so. Her mother looked at my nametag, then me, then turned to her daughter and said, "Because he hates God, honey". FML

Today, I was walking through the store when I saw a little boy point to me and say something to his mom. I was out of earshot at the time, but I got close enough just in time to hear the mom reply, "God says we have to love everyone, even if they're ugly." FML

Today, a woman stopped me and started chewing me out for wearing a pentagram necklace. I explained to her that is wasn't a pentagram, it was a Star of David. She continued chewing me out because apparently that still means I hate Jesus. FML

All you need is hate

Today, I wore a t-shirt that had a rainbow-ish multicolored design when I went to drop off my daughter at school. Another parent threatened to “call the authorities” on me for wanting to “poison” children with “f**got memorabilia,” and to “stop pushing my agenda” on them. I’m a straight dude. FML

Today, someone came into the store I work at, laughed at my name on my name-tag, and left without even buying anything. FML

Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML

Storage wars

Today, I brought my daughter to work with me. When we walked in, a client was blowing up at my boss, all because as my boss was walking past his storage unit, he glanced in and was about to compliment how neat it was. After my boss left, I had to deal with the aftermath, which left my daughter terrified of this man. 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, a shifty customer came in to my store and was hanging around for about 30 minutes. Apparently, he took that time to put religiously-motivated anti-abortion notes into each and every pair of socks. In the following hours, I had 17 angry returns and was personally threatened twice. FML

Today, at my new job, I took some food out to a customer. Walking away, I heard a lady mumble, "Oh my God, you could never pay me enough to wear that." FML

Today, at work, a man walked up the escalator with his chubby kid next to him and asked me where the shoe section was. I said, "For you or your son?" He said, "For my daughter." FML

As the prayer goes, "Oh Lord, please save me from those who claim to be your followers." and the right response is "no, I don't hate God, though I don't particularly like those who presume to speak for Him."

#52: I, as a believer in God, don't reject science and don't think of religion as a "silly fairy tale". There are definitely some parts of say, Christianity, that I don't agree with, but that doesn't mean every religious person is homophobic, conservative, close minded, and rejects science. Being religious or not doesn't correlate to intelligence either, just like being gay or not doesn't relate to a person's intelligence.

You should have said to her daughter: "You know what I hate more than God? Some old hags who use God to be rude to other people. Their children will end up being gay" or "I do it because I have a stupid job dealing with stupid people. You know which job is really cool? I think you'll be a good lesbian." BTW, your life is f*, but FABULOUS not F**ked dear :-)

"Jesus is the ONLY way, but you can all be saved today with just 20 payments of $29.99. For this you'll get a booklet and tape brainwa-- teaching you the importance of Christ in your life" And with that, I'm converting to the Church of the Fonz.

that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard!!!! EVER~!! seriously, you arent gay just because you wear a rainbow on your nametag. not only is that stupid, but it shows how uneducated some people can be and how sad and pathetic some people are that they think someone who has a rainbow on his nametag must be gay. not only that, i am a christian myself and what people say is very wrong!! god loves you no matter what and if you are gay that doesnt mean you dont love god!!!!!! i am sure you are a very nice person and dont give it a second thought!!!!!...
