Today, I got my tongue pierced, then went to a pet store. A clerk came up to ask if I needed help. I showed him I already had some fish, and said, "No thanks." He must have thought I was "special," as he bent down and in a baby voice, said "You got fishy? FISHY FISHY FISHY!" while poking the bag. FML

Today, while I was working at a sushi restaurant, a guy told me he wanted the table next to the "koi fish tank", because he wanted to let the fish know what happens when they "cross him". FML

Today, as part of my job at a pet store, I helped our frat house president pick out goldfish for the new aquarium the big brothers are installing over summer break. And, once I'm initiated, I'll get to swallow one of the fish. FML

Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML

Today, after applying for a job at the local pet store, I picked up a ferret. It began licking my cheek, causing me to turn my head. It then latched onto my ear and hung like a giant furry hoop earring. I screamed, then quietly left the building. FML

Today, I was at the fish store asking if they were hiring. My stepdad decided to humiliate me by screaming at them repeatedly that I'm a good person and that I deserve the job. FML

Today, I was working customer service at a large grocery store. I recently got a small, tasteful septum piercing that is barely visible. As I greeted a customer, she began to gag, held out her hand as though she was fending me off, and said, "I can't. Your nose ring makes me sick." FML

Today, I was walking to the pet store to buy a month's worth of fish food for my fish so I wouldn't have to come back for a while. For fish food it was expensive. It was also surprisingly heavy and I had to carry it back to my house. When I got home, I saw my fish floating at the top of its bowl. FML

Today, I was at my job where we buy precious metals. A man came in and said, "Here, I have something special for you." He then pulled a tooth out of his mouth that had dental gold on it and placed in it my bare hand. Yeah, special indeed. FML

Today, I went to the pet store to get mice for my mom's snakes. While checking out, the guy working behind the register asked what kind of snakes I had. I told him they were my mom's and he mentioned this crazy woman that talks to her snakes. That's my mom. FML

I find it pretty hard to believe you sounded a little slow after getting your tongue pierced. No one I've met with a pierced tongue has ever had that problem, including myself. In fact, it's corrected my speech impediment. Maybe you sounded a little slow to begin with.

Just because it didn't happen to you or the people you know doesn't mean it doesn't happen.. I couldn't talk right for about 2 days after getting my tongue pierced. It's just different for everybody, like any piercing.

I couldn't talk at all for about a day after I got my lip pierced, and after that I had an odd sort of lisp for a couple weeks. I can't imagine how much worse it would be with a tongue piercing. However, a friend of mine got snake bites and never had any swelling or issues talking. My point being, as the person above me said, everyone reacts differently.

Now thats what i call service. You really should have thanked him for recognising how mentally handicapped you are...

I know someone who's 'special' and would be very offended if someone talked to her like that....

He probably knew and used it as a perfect opportunity to make you feel how you look!

Am I the only person here who finds this amusing and wouldn't consider this an FML? Then again, I'm treated as though I'm special needs each day... FISHY~!
