Today, I was cashier at work. The line came to a stop, but there was still people there. I kept saying next, but no one moved. I finally looked over the counter where there was a lady who had been standing there the whole time. She was a midget. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at work handling the cash register. It wasn't working correctly, so I apologized to the woman I was waiting on for the delay and explained, "The cash register's being a little retarded today." Then I noticed her clearly "special" adult son standing behind her. FML
Today, while checking out at Target, I had the choice of standing behind one lady or a long line. Naturally, I chose the former. Half an hour later, the long line had completely passed, and I was still standing behind the lady, who was now arguing with the cashier. FML
Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML
Today, at work, a midget came in to buy beer. Not only was he almost as tall as me, he got offended when I had to card him and explain that the manager told me to card everyone, and that it wasn't because he was short. FML
Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML
Today, I was in the supermarket when I saw a little boy trying to reach for something on the top shelf. I went over to him and asked if his mom knew where he was. The boy turned around. He was actually a very angry midget. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I saw my crush working the only open till at the grocery store. When she saw me approach her queue, she immediately called for more cashiers. FML
Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. FML
Today, I waved at a baby while standing in line in a store. It started screaming. Its mom looked over in mild concern and gave me a disturbed glare before moving to the next checkout counter over. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Excuse me, but "midget" is a derogatory term and very offensive. Please call us Little People or a little person.

Little people are the same size ad children, so you should have the same rights. Shut it until you can ride the big kid rides at Six Flags midget.

Omg little people get on my nerves. It sounds worse, in my opinion, to call them little people, rather than midget, which sounds better.

I agree! Who wants to be called little person? It would make me feel unimportant. Midget sounds waaay better :) I mean if your short, embrace it!

If they hate the word "midget" and I agree with you the "Little People" sounds awkward...I vote to call them "Fun-Size". :-)

Like most derogatory terms, if you're an outsider, your opinion doesn't much matter. Their preference is the important thing. If a male referred to you as a vaghole instead of a woman because he thought it sounded less derogatory, wouldn't you still take offense?

Vaghole is my new favorite word.

it would have been funnier if suddenly you had seen her hand start waving and hear her voice say hey down here asshole. :)

Most little people are tall enough that at least something would show above a standard food service counter. Was she mute too?

Maybe she couldn't speak. Would that make her a dumb midget? Haha
