Today, I started my job selling perfume in a department store. I decided to be creative and sprayed a little perfume towards the first person who walked by. She had an allergic reaction, and an ambulance had to be called. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was working in a call center when I smelled perfume. I'm allergic, and it triggered my asthma. When I came back, some jerk had sprayed it all over my work area. I couldn't go near it for the rest of my shift, therefore I had to go home early, and got my paycheck docked. FML
Today, I started my new job at a fragrance store. While training, the manager had me smell all of the scents to become familiar with the products. Before my shift was over, I'd had three asthma attacks. FML
Today, I discovered I'm allergic to the new perfume I bought and now I smell like a hospital. FML
Today, I was at Bath and Body Works with a friend of mine. She wanted me to smell a particular lotion and when she brought it up to my nose, she squeezed the bottle and lotion went all over my face. Right after, a worker came by and commented how the lotion "got a little too excited". FML
Today, I had to walk through the women's perfume section to get to my normal aftershave. A woman was trying out a perfume, which she squirted on herself and me. You can imagine the afternoon I had to endure after I got home to my wife and she could smell "some slut's scent" all over me. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I used so many different perfume testers that I passed out on the bus. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant waiting for a table. Some lady walked by, smelling like BO and patchouli oil. I attempted to cover my nose with my sweatshirt, but I thumped a small girl in the process. FML
Today, as I came out of changing rooms in a clothes shop, I gave back all the stuff I'd tried on to a saleswoman. I then walked off, made it a couple of yards, changed my mind, and decided to purchase one of the items I'd tried. When I got back, the saleswoman was spraying the changing room I'd used with deodorant. FML
Today, while in a pharmacy, I walked over to the shaving cream aisle. I picked up a can to smell it and unknowingly pushed the button, spraying an old guy in front of me. He freaked out and started telling everyone that the ceiling above him was leaking. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I would be seriously annoyed if someone sprayed me with perfume without asking me, allergy or not. Asshole move. You should ask people beforehand, OP, YDI

What were you thinking....hope you didn't get fired:/

I hope they do! She could have died. If you're honestly not smart enough to know better, you're a danger to society and shouldn't be working any sort of job where you have the potential to harm people with your stupidity.

I think it's legal to sue. And if it is, I'd sue you for the ambulance ride YOU had to call for. Good way to also lose your job.

You don't need an ambulance in order to sue. It's battery as soon as the perfume comes in contact with your clothes. That's unwanted touching. Although I don't recommend law suit just for annoyance.

Hospital and ambulance bills are merely an annoyance to you? Wow, share the wealth! Maybe you'd like to get in touch with OP so you can cover the bills for her stupidity.

It never occurred to you that you shouldn't just spray things on people without asking? Really?

I would have fired you op for doing something like that. You should never expose someone involuntarily to a potential allergen. You are lucky that the person didn't die

That's assuming the person didn't later or something... Even if the patient is stable, an anaphylactic reaction can flair back up for up to 72 hours or so. They're likely going to be observed in the hospital for a few days. Hopefully OP just ruined the person's day/week and not life.

I have enough trouble shopping with people shoving samples at me. I'd end up freaking out if something was sprayed at me.

YDI for thinking that spraying random people with perfume is creative.

why would the person go into the store in the first place

You know department stores sell more than just perfume, right?
LeBandit 20

to buy stuff, or check something out.

And a lot of department stores have the perfume/makeup section placed at the only entrance to the rest of the mall. (If it's in a mall setting, that is)

There's nothing creative about that! That behavior has been mocked for decades on TV. F that woman's L for coming across an idiot like you. You're the scum of department stores.

It's already annoying when those sellers stop me to sample their lotion or perfume, it would've made me mad if someone sprayed it at me without asking. YDI. Next time just stick to asking. What were you even trying to accomplish..

Similar situation happened to me. I'm very allergic to vanilla, especially the scent of it (no idea why), and a friend didn't believe me and sprayed me with her perfume. I know what to do in situations like that, luckily. This woman obviously wasn't so lucky. YDI.

What DO you do in situations like that?

I run to a bathroom and scrub it all off, then get some fresh air before I can't breath. I have been hospitalized for this in the past though.
