Today, I paid top dollar for an Italian soda that ended up consisting almost entirely of ice. When I complained, the girl insisted that the soda water stopped the ice from melting. She said she didn't see what the problem was, and threatened to have me thrown out if I didn't "simmer down." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was sent home for refusing to sign a write up at my restaurant. A customer insisted that she doesn’t drink soda so she’d like a ginger ale. I calmly explained to her that ginger ale is in fact soda. She told management I was being condescending and rude, because she didn’t believe me. FML
Today, I was waitressing when a man sat at my table with soda from somewhere else. Drinks are half the profit for restaurants. There is a strict policy that you have to charge for carry-in drinks. I told him this, he yelled at me so I told him I was doing my job. I got fired, for doing my job. FML
Today, a customer kept harassing me and threatening to sue me for all I'm worth because I wouldn't give her a free refill. Her reasoning was that it's "illegal" to deny people a free refill if there's still a little drink left in the cup. FML
Today, at the café I work at, I was yelled at by a woman because the drinks and food she ordered were "taking too long". Before I had the chance to get a word in, she stormed out and said she would never come back. I didn't get the chance to inform her that she hadn't ordered yet. FML
Today, a customer screamed at me, because her iced coffee tasted exactly like coffee, and she hates coffee. Sadly, this isn't even the most insane person I've had to deal with at this job. FML
Today, at work, a customer came in and ordered a "Butterbeer Frappuccino." When I said we serve no such thing, she yelled at me for "lying" to her, saying she knew about our "secret menu." She ended up complaining to my manager and demanded that he fire me. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML
Today, I was called a fascist and accused of being "racist" against poor people, all because some crazy meth-mouthed bitch couldn't afford some booze and expected me to cut the price by almost 40% so she could. FML
Today, a customer yelled and cursed at me, splashing spittle in my face, and to top it all off she wished “my mom would die in a fire.” All this because I accidentally spilled her milkshake all over her Louis Vuitton handbag. Apparently, it “costs more than my rent.” FML
Today, while working at Dairy Queen, a customer asked me what was so special about our ice cream cakes, and how they're different from regular cakes. I chuckled, and told her it's because they're made from ice cream. She threw a fit, which resulted in me being written up and sent home early. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Did you buy it in Italia or it was just an italian brand?
Cynical_in_SK 6
Italia? You mean Italy don't you?
tweetbaby14 18
No, they mean mars, but at the very top of the page there is something that says they are from California. See what you can get from simply looking before asking stupid questions?
Cynical_in_SK 6
No...do you?
justsomgirl 4
109, your ignorance is showing. Just because you call it Italy...doesn't mean other countries call it the same. For example, in Italy...they call it Italia. But I guess they're wrong since that's not what we call it. Oh...and the person you just questioned? They're from Italy.
Cynical_in_SK 6
Why thank you for the language lesson 127. It never occurred to me that Italia might be Italian for Italy. In all my years I have never heard Italy called Italia...so I wrongfully assumed the person was just an ignorant American. Since they are from Italy though...should they not know that Italian soda is an American drink? It was created in the states...not Italy.
middlecyclone 5
Ha! Oh the irony of you thinking it was an ignorant American. Keep digging that hole. (I'm an American and clearly less ignorant than you. Keep your assumptions to yourself.)
Cynical_in_SK 6
Hey...everyone makes mistakes...and I can't keep digging because you just took the shovel. It's a well known fact among the international community that as a rule Americans are among the most ignorant people on the planet. In fact...if there weren't so many ignorant Americans I probably wouldn't have been so quick to make my erroneous assumption.
tweetbaby14 18
And what about culturally challenged Canadians?
Cynical_in_SK 6
Hmmm...I suppose it's possible...I'm sure we must have some US immigrants. If I find any I'll be sure to let you know. ;)

158 I accidentally thumbed you down instead of up. You should have zero thumbs, not two negative ones. Sorry about that. But to answer your question, 159 proves they exist. I can't even be bothered responding to that stupidity. The only reason I responded at all was to apologize for thumbing you down when you clearly didn't deserve it.
Cynical_in_SK 6
Stupidity? Oh justsomegirl...you obviously have a lot of growing up to do. You've come very close to proving that there are ignorant Canadians. Seriously though..there are of course ignorant people everywhere you go...they just aren't anywhere near as prolific anywhere else in the world as they are in the US. As you get a little more life experience you will realise I'm right. For now I won't hold your naivety against you. One last thing for you to consider...if I'm so culturally challenged...why is it that I seem to be the only one here who knew that "Italian" soda is an American creation? None of the Americans or even the person from ITALIA seemed to know, and yet you would think they should all know better than I.
justsomgirl 4
So far every assumption you've made makes you look like a bigger idiot. Seriously. Save the little bit of dignity you have left and shut up.
justsomgirl 4
Oh and I accidentally thumbed you up too. You should be at -2. Don't get a big head head over your 0 thumbs.
Cynical_in_SK 6
Like I care what just some naive little girl thinks?! It's easy to call others stupid when you know nothing yourself. I have tons and tons of proof behind my statement that Americans are extremely ignorant. So much that I could never possibly hope to put it all down here. But it's ok...cause like I said...I don't care what you think. So why don't YOU just shut up! Better yet...why don't you grow up and get a clue!
justsomgirl 4
You can not state definitively that "Americans are stupid". It's opinion. There is no fact behind that. Your insult about growing up is stupid because I'm 32 and have lived in six different counties and have far more education and life experience than you obviously do. You're the only one in this thread who has made incorrect assumptions. You look like an idiot and you clearly do care about my opinion because you cannot help yourself when it comes to responding. Anyone with any self respect would have just admitted they made a mistake and stopped talking instead of going on and on and making more stupid comments in the process. Prove you don't care and stop responding.
Cynical_in_SK 6
You act like a spoiled naive teenage girl. In fact my teenage daughters are more mature than you. I did admit I made a mistake...and I did not say Americans are stupid. I said they are ignorant...there is a huge difference that someone your age with your supposed life experience and education should not need to be made aware of. I have no trouble at all saying the majority of Americans are ignorant because I have the experience to prove it. I know many, many people who have experienced it, myself included...and even talked to Americans who have admitted it. Hell...all the proof anyone really needs is right here on FML if you bother to pay attention. And just because I don't care what you think about me doesn't mean I can't respond to your stupidity. I gave you the benefit of the doubt by assuming you were young and naive. Now I realise you're every bit as ignorant as the typical American. Maybe you should get your head out of your ass...or even better...move to the states. You would fit right in and you'd be doing Canada a favour!
justsomgirl 4
Haha. You're pathetic. I'm done with you. Go ahead and have the last word. I won't be reading it, but I know you need it so I'll let you have it.
Cynical_in_SK 6
Your ridiculous attempts at reverse psychology are what's pathetic. Almost as pathetic as you calling me stupid all those times only to reveal that you really didn't even know what the hell you were arguing about. Lol. You want to see pathetic...look in the mirror.

Ice, ice baby
KatieKupcake4195 9
Sounds like she's the one who needs to "simmer down". So you made a complaint for paying for Italian soda and getting pretty much a cup of ice? That's whoever made your drink's fault, not yours. FYL, OP.
luccmon 6
What exactly is considered "top dollar" for a soda no matter where it was from? And if it was so expensive why are you buying it instead of just buying a regular soda?
KiddNYC1O 22
Machine keeps it cold anyways.
sillycart 9
That's what happens at McDonald's with their sweet tea. I just ask for no ice and they probably get mad because we all probably learned how to cheat the system.
SirCharles83 13
McDonalds is happy to give it to you with no ice. But it is stored at room temperature so the quality of the product diminishes. Also, free refills for sweet tea in most locations.
l23VIVE 17
Yup i agree, i never get ice because it waters down the taste and gives you less pop(soda)

What's your definition of top dollar?
iLikethenumber7 4
I don't get it
lantern 6
YDI for being an asshole customer. You should have specified either no or light ice if you were going to be such a baby about it.
holly_fly 34
So when you order a soda, you expect only the first few sips to have actual soda in them? And the rest be completely ice? Cuz most people don't.
