Today, I had to sit patiently at the checkout at work, listening to my own father rant about how the twinkies he was buying were "twice the size back in my day", and how "you could buy a dozen of these suckers for just 10 cents." He didn't stop there. No, he tried to haggle over the price. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I work at a general store and a customer came in trying to bargain a set price of an item. The item? A 50 cent candy bar. He wanted it for 34 cents. This is not the first time he's done this. FML
Today, while at my job in a candy store, a boy stuck his hand into the bin, contaminating the candy. As I politely explained that the dad had to purchase the affected candy he refused, yelled, then angrily agreed to buy them. The total cost of the candy with the extra pieces? $1.69. FML
Today, at my store, I had an old man violently accuse me of charging him for an extra pack of 99¢ Mounds candy yesterday. He held up my line for 10 minutes, fighting me about it. I didn't even work yesterday. FML
Today, my dad got into an argument with the cashier about how overpriced the scented tampons were. FML
Today, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. FML
Today, I went to a corner store to restock my chocolate stash. A guy from work walked in to see me and the cashier arguing about the amount of candy I was trying to buy with a jar of pennies. He took one look at me and said, "That time of the month, eh?" FML
Today, my Dad and I went to McDonald's, only to have him shove two handfuls of sugar packets into the bag. He said, "If it's for free, why only take one?" To make it worse, my crush was at the till, watching what was happening. FML
Today, I stopped at a mini-mart and bought a family-size bag of potato chips, a tub of dip, a box of toaster pastries, and some snack cakes. The guy at the counter said, "Wow, someone's hungry!" I told him it wasn't all for me, paid, and left in a huff. It was all for me. I ate it all by that evening. FML
Today, I was waiting in line for what seemed like forever at the only open lane at the grocery store. The guy in front of me took his sweet time and had multiple cards rejected, before finally pulling out a $100 bill and demanding exact change. He was buying a carton of milk. FML
Today, when I told a gentleman that, no, he couldn't have cash back on his return without a receipt, he started screaming at me that I was calling his mother a liar. He told me to lawyer up and yelled at me for smiling at him. He also screamed at me to go on a diet as he left the store. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

He sounds like those people that spend 15 minutes sifting through coupons at the register. Then argue for another 10 cause their 99 cents off is expired.

God, those people are annoying. They act like they're saving millions. It's just a couple of extra bucks for crying out loud!

Can't blame him, prices and shit are so much higher now... Even for twinkies, apparently.

After you realise that "twinkie" is slang for a young-looking gay man, this FML has a whole new meaning.

They really were twice the size back in the day. They also had so much more protein.

I thought a Twinkie was the same thing as a fluffer... That's why the twice the size thing made me laugh. :/

Twinkies: remember the best one you ever had and leave it at that. Because when you get another, you realize it now tastes terrible. Thanks Marvel comics for telling me Twinkies are made by a chemical reaction. I taste them in every "creamy bite of golden sponge cake."

Times are tough, the stock market is down. You gotta work every angle possible. That's why I buy all of my anal beads from Doc. He gives me a 25% discount if I buy in bulk. He goes through 3-5 strands per week. And will ship lube if you ask nicely.

Be lucky you can get twikiea at your local shop. I have to drive all the way up to Hamilton just for a twinkie. 'Tis a sad country I live in.

Am I the only one who thinks twinkies are nasty?

Am I the only one who finds display pics of half naked men nasty? Put a shirt on, damnit, this ain't no gay **** site.
gabrielbaby 9
I think they are, and this has nothing to do with ****. Or gay guys. Also many men and women would like to see that. If you don't then ignore it please.

46 - oh, but it's cool for there to be half naked women on here, right? Stop being a ******* homophobe and thinking if you see a guy with a shirt off you're going to turn gay. I happen to think my tattoo is quite bad-ass, so I like to show it off.
