Today, at my job as a produce clerk at a grocery store, I had an entire conversation with my coworker about how nice the new cabbage boxes are. This is all it takes to thrill me these days. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, at work as a cashier, I was scanning cantaloupes. The man buying them then looked me straight in the eye and said, "Nice melons." FML
Today, I noticed we had gotten new colored toothpicks at the restaurant I work at. That was the highlight of my day. Apparently my life has gotten so boring I get excited over colored toothpicks. FML
Today, I was working at a grocery store when a couple of my co-workers called a code pink in aisle 22, which means there was an attractive woman in that aisle. After hearing about how hot she was, I went over to see her for myself. It was my mom. FML
Today, I bought some mandarins so that there would be at least one healthy thing in my shopping basket, and I wouldn’t feel like such a fat lard at the checkout. FML
Today, at work, I overrode the limit on my forklift, allowing me to carry four pallets instead of two. Then I was able to place them all within a ten-foot radius, giving a massive boost to my efficiency. My excitement faded when I realized that was actually the high point of my day/week/month. FML
Today, I was so bored at my job as a receptionist that I actually got excited when the phone rang. FML
Today, I work at McDonald's. The entire crew, myself included, got visibly excited that we had new trash cans and dust pans. FML
Today, I went to a grocery store after work, exhausted. I nodded politely at a woman who smiled at me repeatedly. I realized at checkout she thought I was someone she knew. I nodded through a full conversation without knowing who I was pretending to be. FML
Today, I bought flowers with my groceries at the grocery store. After the cashier scanned them, he handed them back to me so they wouldn't get crushed in my cart. It was then that I realized he's the first man to ever hand me flowers. FML
Today, my kids and husband brought me a bunch of ornamental cabbages for my birthday, rather than flowers. Why? Because, "you're more of a cabbage sort of person." Ah well, guess it's an improvement on last year when they forgot entirely. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Waxed boxes? I bet they are waxed boxes. Nothing gives you more of a thrill than talking about, nay, looking upon a wax box in all its glory!

perdix. i have worked in produce before. the employees have no control over the quality of the product that comes through the doors. their job os to sell it. thats all. syppluers are to blame for letting the product ait in their wharehouse for too long. did u know that the apple your eating was picked last year? yeah... strawberries, they say farm fresh. its been at least a month since they were picked. bananas are treated to ripen them, then are gassed to prolong life... dont blame the store, its not theirfault. they lose money with sub pr quality products

Yeah, people don't really want to know the dark side of produce, but they should because if the customer was educated about some of the awful things that are done to their food ( like irradiation, genetic mutation,etc) then maybe these large "food" companies would stop feeding us phood.

Your comment is extremely hard to read, maybe you should learn proper english. is, supplier, sit, warehouse, you, you're, their fault, sub par. Not to mention your lack of capitalization.

Despite the numerous misspellings and errors, I was easily able to read his post. No one likes a grammar nazi, so next time how about responding to the actual content of his comment? #38 and #41, I agree completely. With the huge subsidies, fuel costs, and chemical pollution, grocery store produce is actually costing us way more than locally-grown produce.
