Today, I ordered a plain cheeseburger. The cashier was confused, so I explained, "Just meat and cheese." When I got my food, my burger didn't have a bun. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I ordered some burgers at a fast food joint. When I said, "No lettuce," the cashier looked dumbfounded and asked, "What's that?" I literally had to say, "The green stuff" before she got it. I'm losing hope. FML
Today, I ordered two double cheeseburgers from McDonald's and asked for one of them without pickles so they would think I was ordering for two people. Both burgers were for me. FML
Today, at Burger King, I was coming back from break. A customer screamed at me because she ordered a double cheeseburger without pickles, and they were put on anyway. She threw it in my face. My face was covered in ketchup mustard and pickle. Did I mention I was on a break and had nothing to do with this? FML
Today, I went to the drive-through and ordered 5 cheeseburgers. I told the cashier that some of them were for my girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend, and I ate all of them by myself. FML
Today, I went to Jack in The Box to grab a quick hamburger. I was in a hurry, so I didn't check my order. By the time I opened the bag, I was really hungry. Unfortunately, the burger looked like a 5-year-old wrapped it, and the burger looked bitten into. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were out to eat. The waiter came and asked what we wanted. My boyfriend said he wanted a cheeseburger and I told the waiter I'd have the same. My boyfriend looked at me and said, "Are you sure you don't want a salad?" FML
Today, I found a bone in my sandwich. It was a veggie burger. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza for delivery, and when it arrived, the box was completely empty except for a receipt and a piece of lettuce. I called the restaurant, and they insisted I must’ve eaten it all, and was just pretending. I took a picture of the empty box and the soggy piece of lettuce to prove them wrong. It didn't work. FML
Today, I decided to work on my social anxiety by ordering some food. I waited in line, practicing my order in my head all the way. When I got to the front, I said my order with no mistakes. The cashier just stared blankly at me until I mumbled, "Never mind..." and left. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza with extra cheese and no tomatoes. The pizza delivery guy handed me the box, and as I opened it, I discovered that they had delivered me a pizza… with only tomatoes and no cheese. I called the pizza place to complain, but they just said, “Well, tomatoes are technically fruit, so it’s healthy.” FML

To be fair, the cashier did give you exactly what you asked for. I work in a place kind of like in N out and you have no idea how many stupid people come in and ask for a "plain hamburger" but what they really mean is a regular hamburger, as in exactly how it's written on the menu. So, sometimes I have to ask people to reiterate, which makes me feel stupid but if I don't, they order the wrong thing and get pissed. Oh but my personal favorite is when people ask for a double burger with cheese, and WE HAVE A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER SHOWN RIGHT UNDER IT ON THE MENU. ? Anyway, just try to see things from other people's perspectives. It's not as easy as it looks.

Because of many low carb dieters, it's not uncommon to have people request burgers sans the buns. If you don't want pickles, and condiments, then just say that. You got what you asked for.

I'm not surprised. A lot of people are skipping the bun lately, cause of ' junk low carb' (it doesn't fall under paleo cause paleo is anti-junk food).

In OP's defense, they did originally say "plain cheeseburger" which is a bun, meat, & cheese. It was not "plain cheeseburger, no bun." It doesn't generally occur to people who aren't fast food workers that clarifying "just the meat & cheese" could be understood as without the bun since it's not really a burger without one. Ideally the cashier should have asked for clarification again, but especially if it was busy it's understandable they didn't.

You deserve it for being fussy. Just eat the burger as it comes from the menu.

One time my mom ordered a cheeseburger without the meat, she had to explain that she was a vegetarian, the two Mexican employees who barely spoke English gave her two buns with lettuce

The same thing happened to me! At Arby's, I told them I wanted the roast beef with Swiss cheese only. They plopped those two things down on the wrapping paper and that's it. It's very unsettling to know that this has happened to so many other people. Common sense is becoming a thing of the past.
