Today, I was buying ingredients for a salad. I had only picked up a few cucumbers, when an elderly lady came up to me and murmured, "Make sure you use lots of lube, or that'll hurt. Been there, sweetheart." What the HELL? FML

Today, I was cashiering at a grocery store when an elderly woman came through my line buying prune juice. She then whispered to me that last time she bought it, she "blew up her toilet". FML

Today, at the supermarket, an old lady asked for directions to the produce aisle. Having read way too many stories lately on this very site about awful elderly folks, I was wary, but helped her out. She gave me an awkward hug in thanks, lifting my wallet in the process, as I later found out. FML

Today, at work at a grocery store an old couple came through my checkout lane. As I was putting their bagged groceries in the cart, the old man started feeling me up. FML

Today, whilst working in a pharmacy, I was given the pleasure of listening to an old lady share the details of what she sticks up her vagina. FML

Today, I went to the local pharmacy to buy some condoms. When I went to go purchase them, the elderly lady behind the counter took one look at me and said, "Honey, you're your own birth control." FML

Today, at my job as a cashier, a very old man came through my checkout. His purchase consisted of a box of condoms and a can of whipped cream. The creepy smile he gave me has scarred me for life. FML

Today, I was cashiering at Target when an old woman came into my checkout line. Her items? Variety pack of pleasuring condoms, a bottle of KY sensual lube, and two colorful thongs. As I'm scanning these, she leans in and whispers, "I love toys." FML

Today, as I was bent over at my waitressing job an elderly woman walked by and smacked my ass. I looked at her, shocked, and she said, "It was too tempting with you bent over like that, I have a dirty old mind." I didn't know whether to be flattered or horrified. Maybe both. FML

Today, I asked an elderly customer at my work if she needed help with her groceries. She responded, "I normally would, but I'm afraid you'll eat all the groceries." FML

Today, I was working at the grocery store and a very old woman wanted to give me a tip for bagging her groceries. She slid a quarter into my pocket against my thigh as deep down as she could get it, then she gave me a smile and a wink. I was groped by a grandma. FML

You can't tell me you looked at your post and the FML and were like "Yes! This is ready! No one thought of this!"...

Thank you, #1. I wouldn't have understood the FML if you hadn't explained this fact to me.

Why does it matter how epic the "first" comment is? some of you have no lives on here.

I'm pretty sure people with actual lives no longer use the word epic.

I don't think people in general should judge whether you have a life or not, literally or figuratively.

Thank you, 87. I completely agree. People need to learn to mind their own business. I hate when people comment unnecessarily mean comments just to make themselves seem superior.Leave the guy alone, at least he pointed it out for those who were tired and didn't get it right off....jeeze.

#27 was referencing a recent FML where the grandmother threw a party over divorcing her husband... (While there may have been grounds for it obviously the family member didn't enjoy that fact)

#68 If it gave you a brain fart due to you not understanding how it may make a pickle, it is because pickles are cucumbers. Not sure if that is what you meant though. ):
