Today, I bought a brand new flat screen TV. When I brought it home it didn't work. Furious, I walked into Best Buy and yelled at a guy in a tucked in blue polo and khakis. I asked him why it didn't work and he said he didn't know. I kept screaming. He didn't have a nametag. He didn't work there. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML
Today, I bought a brand new TV that cost a pretty penny. I took it home and it had a defect. After a lot of arguing, I was able to exchange the TV for another one. I got it home and it worked amazing. Later on, we had a bad rainstorm, which flooded my room and screwed up not only my new TV, but my PS5, Xbox, and laptop. FML
Today, I walked into Best Buy to buy a 42" widescreen TV I'd been saving up for many months. As I walked in, a man stopped me and handed me my wallet that I'd accidentally dropped. I thanked him. Five minutes later at the checkout, I opened up my wallet to realize it was empty. He had stolen everything. FML
Today, I was chewed out by a lady who claimed the laptop she bought wouldn't turn on, and that she wanted a refund. She yelled and shoved the laptop at me, not even listening when I told her I didn't even work at that store. FML
Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me because we didn't have any laptops in stock. I work at a clothing store. FML
Today, I got lost at Best Buy. Meanwhile, my mom freaked out, and they called out my name over the intercom. When I walked up to the desk and they saw I was 17, the employees burst out laughing. FML
Today, I went to a store to buy a 43-inch TV that was on sale. The sale was so good that they sold out on the floor. I went to guest services and asked the employee if they had any in the back. She literally went to the back of the room, let out this god awful fart, came back out and said, “Sorry, we don’t.” FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. 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

Even if he had a name tag, why would you yell at him? "Hey, you work here! You must know exactly what's wrong with the TV I bought from some other employee a while ago! "

Well you're a rude. Even if it was an employee, it's not like it would be the employee's fault.

Oh, MAN! Haha, I WORK at Best Buy... and that's just funny. :) Honest mistake on your part, I'd say. People who walk into Best Buy with khakis and blue polos are just asking to be asked for help. But of course yelling at the guy was completely uncalled for. I work Loss Prevention (security) and deal with rude customers ALL the time. You people suck. Have a good day.

speaking as someone who works at Best Buy, you deserved this one. Potential random employee has no clue who you are or what your TV situation is, that the store did not box your TV and is not responsible for how it was made, and they are not responsible for your ignorance when it comes to hooking up a TV. In the case that it was a lemon, it's the manufacturer's fault and there's a 30 day return policy with Best Buy. And despite what that one commercial may imply, Best Buy employees are not capable of reading your mind.

You are one of those idiots that go places and think just because you're the customer, you automatically right about everything and have the right to be disrespectful towards any and all employees that work there. I promise you that any employee will give you crappy customer service after that and will probably give your replacement tv a drop before giving it back to you. If I was that customer, I would have told you off and punched you in the face.. Where do you work at..I want to go to your job and yell and harass you. See how you like it.

Today, I went to buy something from Best Buy. A random person with a TV box starts screaming at me complaining her TV didn't work. I was wearing a blue polo and khakis. She thought I was a Best Buy employee - I'm receiving my MBA from Yale next month. FML

Serves you right for being such an asshole. FYI, it's not their fault the TV didn't work. Next time think a little before immediately trying to leap down an innocent employee's throat (and in this case, some poor bastard who didn't even work there)!
