Today, I got head lice, so I went to a store to buy medicated shampoo. When checking out the cashier saw my shampoo and asked me to leave immediately to protect the other customers. He didn't let me buy the shampoo. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I needed to buy a new helmet. When I got to the sports shop, there was only one left in my size and preferred color. Thirty minutes after buying it, my head starts itching. Turns out I paid $40 for lice. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. I thought I was getting promoted because my sales had been really high lately. My boss shut his door behind me and asked me if I could comb his hair with a lice comb to get rid of his lice. I had to do it to keep my job. FML
Today, at my retail job, I tried on one of our hats. My co-worker told me I shouldn't because I could get lice. I laughed it off and told her I didn't believe her. Man, do I believe her now. FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line at the check out, some guy came up behind me, plucked a hair out of my head, and ran off with it. FML
Today, I was tutoring kids at an elementary school. One kid messed up my hair. I said, "Why'd you do that??" He said, "I have lice, now you have lice too!" FML
Today, this guy I like let me wear his favorite baseball hat that he never takes off. I returned it to him later, only to find out I have lice. FML
Today, the checkout guy at my local store asked me if I had my hair cut. I answered and started talking about my hair, and he gave me a really weird look. He was talking to his friend, who I hadn't noticed in the queue behind me. FML
Today, I got a call from my younger brother's school to pick him up immediately. He had a test today, but he had the brilliant idea that by telling everyone he had head lice, he could go home. I had to leave work to pick him up, and now I have to take him to a doctor so they can see if he can go back. FML
Today, I discovered that head lice shampoo can remove the dye from your hair. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm pretty sure he's not allowed to do that. You left without asking for the manager?

Resort to another store and a better cashier. Damn, cashiers are so nosy these days.

You could always go to different store and make your way to the pharmacy. Talk to the pharmacist saying your little sister/brother got sent home with a case if live and would the product you picked out work? That way you can buy it back there and save face.

It doesn't make any sense! Why do they sell head lice shampoo if people are not allowed to bye it? It's seems wrong and stupid!

That was lousey logic he used. He does know it can't spread by standing next to them. right? I think he was trying to do a lice thing but his logic was flawed.

I can only imagine what this guy would do if she was buying medicated lip balm for a cold sore....

Lice can actually jump from one head to another, so, yes, you can get it from standing next to someone

Exactly. I had some guy come in when I was cashiering once, and he had a little girl with him. I shoved myself back from the counter when I saw her scratching then saw the dreaded pestilence falling out. I took his money with shaking hands, absolutely horrified, and ran to the back as soon as they left to sanitize. Nasty!

Unacceptable! An easy fix would be to say you are picking it up for a friend/parent/sibling/child etc.

So when you go to a store to buy food, you stand a chance of spreading the hunger around too? Smdh

That sucks, OP. I got lice back in December after working in a classroom of second graders. They certainly aren't easy to get rid of and lice shampoo isn't cheap. = Plus, all the laundry and stuff you have to do...no fun. I hope you get some shampoo soon! Also...I hope I stop itching soon. I hate talking about lice...itchy itchy...

Complete idiot of a cashier... Lice can't jump, so they have to be spread by direct contact. Last time I checked, people don't randomly go around rubbing heads!

oh god... why...
