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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Lice can't infest others unless you run around and rub your scalp on theirs or tie them down and force them to wear your hats... Doesn't every kindergartener know that?

I had lice when I was younger and got it quite often until this neighbor put kerosene in my hair to kill them, which it did. I swear I have never gotten them again since. Maybe you should try that...just don't light a match or anything..

You should have just stood there, gave the cashier an angry look, and started violently scratching your head while standing over things.

Just use the old fashioned way and soak your hair/head in gasoline...then wash it out afterwards

You could have said that it's for someone else, but it's not nice of him to do so anyway. Complain to the manager.

you shouldn't have left. YDI just because an idiot tells you to do something doesn't mean you should do it. your fault.

Isn't this behaviour illegal ?

How is it illegal?

By refusing someone service that would cure their condition just because they have that condition. It's probably not against the law, but it can totally get you fired, and rightfully so. That kind of behaviour is dangerously stupid, literally.

OP, I signed up for an account just to tell you this, I hope you see it. Report that clerk, but he did you a favor. I have recently become aware that because we have used the same stuff (Nix and Rid, especially) to kill head lice, they have become resistant. The stuff you buy over the counter will NOT kill head lice, at least not all of them, and the comb they sell sucks. You're better off shaving your head or dying your hair.

What? I had lice a weak ago and used Rid and got rid of the lice first try. And usually your supposed to do a second treatment a week after.

Maybe the ones in my area are stronger? That stuff did not work, they were still crawling around as I was combing them out. It was awful.

use mayonnaise and a shower cap cheaper and works
