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

Have you thought that the other persons have their own parfume on and that two perfumes together at the same time is just like listen to two songs at the same time?

How on earth did you get a job?!

Okay, I'm in no way trying to excuse what OP did, but if you knew you had allergies that severe, wouldn't you avoid the perfume department/counter? I understand that it can be difficult because of the way a lot of department stores are laid out, but not quite impossible. Don't get me wrong, YDI OP, but if I had allergies that severe I would avoid the perfume counter at all times, regardless of the inconvenience. Although I suppose a simple lapse in judgment or slip of the mind is certainly a possibility and I definitely feel bad for the person who had to have an ambulance called. The department store, or just the employee, should pay the ambulance fee.

The person sprayed shouldn't have to live their life assuming someone's going to be so stupid as to spray perfume at them. They may not be allergic to all perfumes anyway, jasmine based perfumes make me sneeze but I can wear rose based perfumes, they may have been the same.

Have you never been to department stores where the perfume section is right next to all of the entrances?

At a mall I like to go to, EVERY SINGLE ENTRANCE into the mall has a perfume counter next to it, and there's several stores that are either completely filled with a perfume smog (cough cough Hollister) so it's practically impossible to NOT go by a perfume place. I have a minor issue with perfume as it triggers my asthma (especially men's cologne for some reason) and I'm fine as long as I avoid hollister and no one sprays something at me. so, the woman could have been like me (but with a worse reaction) and they're fine as long as they're not covered in it.

If you need to pass the perfume section to get somewhere and don't really have an option, I don't think considering that someone will spray perfume at you with no warning is something that is part of the though process

Let's blame the victim, guys!

What is she doing there then! If I'm an alcoholic trying not to get drunk why would I enter a bar

It's a department store more things are sold on that level than just perfume

A more appropriate analogy, albeit ******* stupid, would be if you're a recovering alcoholic you wouldn't go into a grocery store that sells booze.

You don't simply spray strangers with parfume. It's that simple. YDI

Yeah, real "creative"...
GamerPerson 19
YDI. You DON'T do that type of thing because of these exact reasons!

You should think before you act.
mattrd_fml 31
aren't you supposed to spray it on cards and hand them out? And what makes you think spraying perfume in someone's face is "creative?" ydi

My mom is allergic to perfumes and she would probably sue someone if they did that.
