Today, I held the door open for an old lady, before realizing she was a teacher taking 20-plus kids to lunch at local burger joint, all of whom got in front of me in the line to order. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a woman yelled at me for holding a door open for her. FML
Today, while standing in line at a local Mexican fast food place, I was feeling generous and let a little kid behind me go in front. Turns out he had a list, and was ordering food for his whole family. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my food. FML
Today, I was leaving the grocery store when an old woman started yelling at me for not holding the door open for her. She accused me of being "everything wrong with the younger generation". It was an automatic door. FML
Today, I was going into an office building. There was a boy and a man ahead of me, and the boy held the door open for me. Surprised, I said, "What a nice young man," and he said, "It's OK, ma'am; my dad says to always hold the doors open for old ladies." I'm 43. FML
Today, I held a door open for a sweet old lady with a walker. After she went through the door, she turned and said, "That's not how you're gonna get into my pants, son." FML
Today, in between the passing times at school, one of my classmates opened the door to my next class, so I turned to tell him thank you. Apparently, he was opening it for the teacher who was leaving. I collided with her and her very hot cup of coffee. FML
Today, I placed an order at a fast food joint, when the elderly lady behind me cussed me out for ordering the same thing she wanted. She ranted that I was a "dirty thief", while everyone else glared at me as if I was holding up the line. What the fuck? FML
Today, I realised that I have been a teacher for far too long when I told a random stranger I saw at the mall to tie up their shoelaces. FML
Today, I held the door open for a woman and her kids on my way out of the bank. She started accusing me of patronizing her, and when I just let go of the door in protest, she deliberately leaned in so it hit her in the face. I felt the glares from the entire bank as she pretended to cry. FML
Today, I was at a store when I saw a cute girl from my school. Trying to act cool, I went to hold the door for her. Too bad it was an automatic door. FML

Hopefully karma will reward you for being awesome. :-)

Lol, no good deed goes unpunished. The woman should've had you go before them due to basic logic and as a token of her gratitude.

My next question is: Since when were teachers allowed to take kids to burger joints?
SirMichael 13
Maybe they were on a field trip.

Ouch that sucks. At least you were trying to be nice, more people could stand to do stuff like that a little more often. She should have let you go ahead though, it seems kind of rude on her part to me to not say "Oh it's okay, it's a large group, but thank-you".

If you wanted to do a nice thing, don't be upset with the consequences

Normally for groups that large, don't most burger joints require that they call their orders ahead so that this kind of scenario doesn't occur?? Maybe it's different up here in Canada, but I've seen groups be turned away in several different chains, being asked that they leave a written order for pickup within the hour, and that next time they must call ahead *shrug* still nice to see that some people still have manners tho

no, its not like that and that wouldn't be a good business move at all. Americans don't turn down money making opportunities like that I've never seen it in that kind of scenario.

I've never seen that happen in Canada.
