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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I was accused of shoplifting, after the alarm started beeping as I walked into the store. 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 walked into a store, grabbed a shopping cart, and started browsing. After 15 seconds, I realized I was in the wrong store. The cashier watched as I awkwardly returned my cart and walked out like I totally meant to do that. 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 accidentally left the store with a bag full of groceries without paying. I realized this halfway to my car when an employee chased me down, thinking I was a thief. Turns out, I had spaced out and walked out during a fire alarm drill. FML
Today, I was shopping with my husband. At the self-checkout, one of the items I was buying for him as a gift didn’t register. As we were walking out, I get stopped and escorted to the loss prevention office, where I was accused of stealing. FML

You must be a huge wuss. I would have punched the old hag for making a blatantly false accusation and told her that her glaucoma or macular degeneration must be affecting her eyesight. Then I would have taken her license away

Many old people are extremely judgmental and discriminatory and what's worse is the fact that they think that they are doing nothing wrong. One time when I was 14, an old guy who lives near me ran up to me on the sidewalk and he believed he had the right to hold me against my will until I told him who my parents were. My parents complained to the police afterward because the guy was going to try an tie me up if I hadn't pushed him off me. I honestly had not done anything wrong, the old guy had initially confused me with another kid who threw snowballs at his house a few days earlier. Once he realized I wasn't the right kid, he became convinced that I knew this person that threw snowballs at his house because we both looked like "losers".

I laughed out loud at this comment. I'm also surprised more people didn't vote YDI.

The worst thing you can possibly do after being accused of theft is to run out of the store... Wtf where you thinking...??? You're supposed to walk away haughtily and calmly, showing your displeasure by means others than childish running around. Otherwise, you incur the danger of being tackled by a security agent who misunderstood the situation, regardless of having just proved your innocence...
