Today, I was accused of shop-lifting by an old lady in a supermarket. Having proven myself innocent, I tried to storm off to show my displeasure at the situation. In my haste to make a dramatic exit, I tried to go out of the entrance and walked straight into the automatic door. FML

Today, I was holding on to a shirt that I planned on buying, when an elderly man bumped into me. The shirt fell out of my hand, and slid just out the door. I went to the counter to explain what happened. Everyone accused me of trying to steal it anyway. FML

Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML

Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Today, I was at the supermarket when an elderly lady asked if I'd grab some coffee for her from a high shelf. The moment I took my hands off my almost-full shopping cart, she made off with it. I ended up getting thrown out by security after she claimed I was trying to steal it from her. 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 knocked over a display case at a mall, shattering hundreds of dollars in goods. Embarrassed, I tried to scurry out of the nearest door without being seen. I scuttled right into the janitor's closet, the door automatically locking behind me. I waited for an hour to be let out. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML

Today, while buying groceries, I noticed that the lady in front of me had left a box behind. I grabbed the box and ran out the door after her. After turning around to find three employees chasing me, I noticed I had just stolen the donation box. FML

I bet everybody remembers the shoplifter that went through the wrong door. Nobody will remember you being right ... ever. Go gave that power away by trying to storm out.

If you were truly innocent, your displeasure would have been better shown by being disgustingly nice, telling them that everyone makes mistakes, and then go to court and sue them.

YdI for being dramatic. That's not something that adults do.

Why would you storm off? You were proven innocent, and up to that point the only person who looked dumb was the lady accusing you.

I don’t know what the UK laws are but in Canada that’s grounds for a lawsuit. Whether it was an employee or a shopper, the store employees need to have witnessed the incident themselves in order to press charges. As soon as they accuse you of theft then they MUST call the police and place formal charges against you, if they failed to do so then they themselves broke a law that’s in place to protect the consumer.

Canada seriously has it together. Depending on how the 2012 elections go (after seeing the midterms in the US), we might seriously consider moving there.
