Today, I was standing in line at the checkout, and my children were arguing with each other. The guy in front of me sighed loudly and told me over his shoulder: "There're these things called condoms, you know." FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I went to the store to buy some condoms. I couldn't find them anywhere, so I nervously asked a staff member for help. She scowled, pointed at the shelf directly behind me, and told me to, "Get a life. Or better pick-up lines." I'll never live down the snickers from the other customers. FML
Today, as I was cashing a customer out, he stopped me in the middle of the transaction just to tell me that the condoms he was buying are too big for him. FML
Today, the self-checkout machine at the grocery store kept yelling, “PLEASE PLACE ITEM IN BAGGING AREA” while I frantically tried to scan everything. An employee came over and said a bit too loudly, “Ma’am, you have to scan the condoms before bagging them.” Of course there were people around to giggle. FML
Today, a friend asked me if I'd buy him some condoms because he's too shy to buy them himself. I obliged and whilst queuing at the till to buy them I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around to see my fiancée glaring at me. We don't use condoms. FML
Today, I nervously went to the store to buy condoms for the first time. I felt like everything was going well, and checked out happily. As I was walking out, the cashier lady said to the woman next in line, "He thinks he's going to need condoms." They both looked at me and started laughing. FML
Today, I was at a grocery store with my 3 year old son. As I was picking a cereal out, an older man comes over and says, "You should have used condoms. What an ugly boy." FML
Today, I went grocery shopping with my toddler. At the checkout, I realized that I forgot my wallet at home. As I frantically searched my purse, my toddler shouted, "Mommy, do we need this?" and held up a box of condoms she'd grabbed from a nearby shelf. Everyone stared. FML
Today, I was buying condoms for my girlfriend and myself. While at the checkout counter, my guy friend sees me, runs to me, puts his arm around me, kisses me on the cheek, then yells "Thank you baby!" There were about twenty people behind me, they all gave me dirty looks. 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, I was at the store, when I saw my boyfriend in line in front of me. I looked to see what he was purchasing; it was a pack of condoms. When I questioned him, he said that, "They're for us, babe!" We already have an unopened pack at home, and it's my time of the month. FML

Ask him if his parents know about them, rude prick.

I guess his parents didn't get the memo either

You know...I know be nice to others and crap but some people just need a wonderful smarty retort like "I suppose your parents missed the memo of condoms too then" or anything to get a dig in him. Just saying, set the example to your kids - be nice to everyone until someone spouts off then it's perfectly fine to be a smart mouth because as long as you don't punch the bitch can't sue

Lets just hope he doesn't reproduce, there's enough negative people in this world already

Maybe OP needs to control her children in public places.
schreibergx93 19
Maybe you need grow up.
MandieL 27
Do you have siblings? They were arguing. It happens. Doesn't mean OP's children were out of control. I've seen "grown ups" argue too, who is responsible for controlling them??
geekpower_fml 28
Definitely sounds like it.
SuperMew 22
Depends on how bad the arguments were.

No matter how well behaved ones children may be, they are never perfect 100% of the time. Even if a parent has a pretty firm hand, the best kids act out now and again. They're kids. So her kids may normally be pretty well behaved and this is just one of those times. Don't judge unless your kids are perfect angels. Which they're not.

That's not really a good answer to this because u don't know what op is going through I have a brother with autism and sometimes he is hard to control in public it's not my moms fault she does a great job it's just that some kids are a bit more difficult than others
more4me 27
She said arguing. At least, the children weren't full on fighting! You try to control children 24/7 . They fight, bicker, argue. That's what they do! Don't be so quick to blame OP!

The "prick" wouldn't have had anything to say if the parent could teach the children to behave. Before you blame, think about what you could have done first.

Oh, shut UP. All kids do this at some point. I was generally a well-behaved kid, with parents who were DEFINTELY not lax in teaching me how to behave (I'm 20 and I'm still a little afraid of pissing my mother off) and even I had moments where I absolutely behaved like a hellion. Apparently I threw a fit at my baptism when I was five. (Apparently I'm the only one who doesn't remember this gem from my childhood.) Wasn't my parents' fault; I was a damn little kid. That's what little kids do: Misbehave sometimes. I love kids, but if you want something that never ever EVER misbehaves, get an American Girl doll.

Thank you!!!!!! If anything, it's good for siblings to argue because it hones their individuality lets them form opinions and personalities. My siblings and I argued all the time, but now that we're older and can express ourselves better, we can discuss things civilly. Children just haven't learned that skill yet.

I think people seem to forget that ALL kids do this at some point..even the ones who are usually very well behaved. Everyone has a bad day. Sorry the guy in front of you was so rude.
heyLaddieHey 18
Some people just really hate kids.
CaroLouWho 10
I hate people like this. And for the people blaming OP, SHUT UP. We don't know what OP was doing to control the situation. I love, love, LOVE kids, but they can be hard to handle sometimes, no matter what you do to control them. It happens. I was a well-behaved kids, and even I had moments where I absolutely lost my shit. I'm guessing you people don't have kids.
Redgy22 26
Guess again. Mine don't misbehave in public & if they do, we leave immediately. I don't inflict mine on you, & you should do the same. Especially in restaurants! If i'm paying for a meal & an evening out. I don't want to have to endure your little brats. Stay at home until they can act appropriately. And I purposely stay away from places that are kud friendly such as McDonald's playlands & Chuck E. Cheese because I know these are designed especially for kids.

#31: Where do I order more people like you for the world, please?
SuperMew 22
Doesn't mean you are entitled to everyone letting it happen without comment. Kids will throw fits, but its up to the parents to either control their children or find ways to do this. Staying home is one of them.
llama_drama 19
Well said
Tommy1340 18
You're right we don't know what OP was doing to control the situation. For all we know the kids could have been arguing for a while and being disruptive to everyone. Now I don't think what the man said was acceptable, but you can't blame for being annoyed.
militarybrat 21
31 arguing is misbehaving now? Do your children have an emotion chip or are they emotionless robots?
lvg_fml 10
Arguing with each other is how they eventually learn compromise and conflict management. If it was adults arguing no one would question if they should have been born.

What kind of trashy adults sit in the grocery store and argue?
MandieL 27
I've seen them. I've seen couples argue in public. Just because they are arguing doesn't mean they are making a scene.

@33 I'm guessing you haven't seen an adult freak out over a single sandwich being wrong at a fast food place.
samlovesham1234 9
And that asshole never argued with his siblings? Seriously some people really need to keep their comments to themselves and their noses out of other people's business.

What a ******* prick
