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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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! "

That's what you ******* get for being a self righteous asshole. You have no right to treat people in retail like this. It's not like the employees of the store are personally trying to sabotage your television. Stop being so goddamn materialistic and be polite to people. Yelling will get you nowhere, the people will be far less likely to be accomodating and helpful. If there's a problem, retail workers are usually more than happy to try to help you solve it IF YOU TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT. Asshole. YDI.

YDI, YDI, YDI. As previously stated, even if it was broken, it wasn't some random employee's fault. Not to mention, your behaviour indicates to me that you're an impatient idiot who probably hooked it up wrong anyway.

Yes, #85. "Oh, who cares if it's 80 miles from where I live and I REALLY need to grab something from Best Buy, I'm wearing these clothes so it looks like I can't go there. Damn. Guess I'll have to drive all the way back here tomorrow. Or go spend money on some different clothes just so I can go there." And OP, you are a dick. Seriously, anger issues much? Why would you turn into such a massive ball of rage over that? Freaking out like that just makes you look like a complete douche, not only to the person you're screaming at, but every single person witnessing it. Not to mention screaming gets you a lot less sympathy and willingness to help than if you would just calmly go in there and explain the problem. Seems like you have some issues you need to work out.
