Today, a teenage girl with a selfie stick came into my workplace. She knocked down multiple displays while trying to take pictures, before leaving without making a purchase. I had to clean it all up. FML

Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I spent an hour setting up a delicate display stand at work. Not five minutes later, a woman barged in with her little kid, who immediately went up to the display and tipped the whole thing over. When I called attention to the mother, she just scoffed, "Isn't this your job?" and left. 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, my coworker, who is constantly singing "Baby Shark," wanted to take selfie for her Instagram account. She moved all the junk from her desk to mine, so her desk would look great in the picture. FML
Today, at my job working retail, I had just finished cleaning and straightening a whole aisle. This kid watched me do the whole thing. When I was done, he stuck his arm out, and ran it down the whole shelf, knocking everything off it. His mother just grabbed his hand and walked away. FML
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML
Today, I went to pick up some pictures I took on a family trip, but the person at the counter said someone else had already picked them up. Now not only am I out $20, some random creep has pictures of me and my whole family. FML
Today, a girl with her eyes glued to her phone bumped my arm going in the opposite direction on the sidewalk. She dropped her phone, chased me to the bus stop, and told everyone that I broke it. She threatened to call the police. FML
Today, I was down at Disney World. Me and my buddy decided to take our pictures in a photobooth. While in the tiny space, I thought it'd be funny to flash the camera. A women barged in as soon as I did so, screaming "You know there's an outside video feed, right!?" FML
Today, I had to clean up human poop that someone trailed through the store. Then, as I was cleaning up all the shelves at the end of the day, I saw that someone had changed their sanitary pad, took a new one out of the packed and used it, then left the used one on the shelf. FML
Today, I tried to take a cute selfie in front of a café window. I didn’t realize there were people inside, specifically the café staff, who were watching see me posing, pouting, and flipping my hair for a full two minutes. When I finally realised they were there, they gave me the thumbs up while imitating my poses. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's not nearly as bad as the group in NYC taking a selfie with a selfie stick with burning buildings right behind them.

I would've shoved that stick up her ass. Sorry OP, sounds like another bad day in retail.

She might enjoy that...

What's a selfie stick? lol

Google "Selfie Stick", you'll get the picture quick enough... Personally, I cant see how you would hold the thing steady enough with the weight of your phone on the end to be able to take "decent" selfies. (do they actually exist?)

Exactly what it sounds like, a stick used to take selfies.

That's just ******* rude. Who the **** just walks into a store with no intention to buy anything, then knocks shit over while taking a picture and just leaves like that without buying anything or cleaning it up? If your workplace has a security camera, be sure to look at it and if she comes back, kick that bitch out.

eh i dont find this too bad, cleaning up a couple of things that have fallen is a piece of cake and doesnt require much effort. though, witnessing the disastrous selfie queen would have scarred the mind

I'm I the only person that hates selfie sticks?

Well, seeing as half the comments are about how awful selfie sticks are, I'm gonna have to go with a resounding "No".

If you have cameras installed at your work then you should find some evidence of her breaking all that stuff and then either ban her or make her pay the next time she comes around or something. I think banning her would be a solid solution altogether.

I agree #58. Although I say ban her AND make her pay. I work in fast food and I've banned teenagers from my restaurant in the past because they were being destructive and one of them tried smoking weed in the men's bathroom,

What happened to the rule, "you break it, you buy it" With some evidence you could Go though legal means to get money back

It was replaced by "the customer is always right" and his big brother "the customer will complain to corporate/news agencies/take you to small claims court/do things that cost time and money for people more important than you"
