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

Dang that was rude. What a jerk.

That was kind of rude, but it's really ******* annoying to listen to other people's kids screaming in the store kids are loud and can reach awful shrill pitches that just really *really* get to you. I know sometimes kids just act up and no matter how hard you try they just won't quit, but a lot of parents just don't even try to teach their kids any better and it can really get on your nerves. I don't know which category this fell into, if you weren't even trying to get them to calm down though, you deserved it. Otherwise yeah it's kind of rude but kids yelling can be really grating and sometimes you just snap, doesn't make it appropriate but it happens we're all only human and sometimes we just snap when something bothers us.

@70 We don't know if they were yelling or not. Arguments don't always involve yelling.

Yes, I can tell how well raised you were by your "shut up" comment.

"Funny, I'd guess your mom heard that a lot too..."

"Unforunately your parents hadn't heard of em either!"

Douchebag. Tell him his Dad should have pulled out early. People are quick to criticize other parents instead of minding their own business.

You're saying, that children aren't people themselves and don't have a personality, or they're not allowed to talk at all? Do you know the extent of the arguing, or if it was something she had tried to stop? She's standing in line about to leave, I wouldn't have cared. The guy seems pretty pissed off at life to throw an off handed comment like that. I've heard worse shit in line from adults, children arguing is nothing. Calm down and get off your high horse.

Justified. I hate when parents bring their kids or even entire family to stores while shopping then don't keep their kids in check. My brother and I never acted like that in public. We were quiet, well behaved children and not only my brother and I. I had several friends who were like this too. The comment was more along the lines of telling her to shut her kids up because they are disturbing others around them. If you can't keep your children behaved, don't bring them. Simple.

It's not that simple. I think it's funny that you think everywhere has to be perfect for you. Are you the type of person who yells at your server when the kitchen is backed up? I get the idea of not bringing your kids places until they're old enough to behave (although how are they learning if they just sit at home) and leaving when they're acting up is psych 101. However, that's not always possible. What if you've got a single parent, or the significant other is out of town for work? People can't always afford babysitters or they're not always available. I know for a fact that every uptight adult has come from being a child, yet so many act like shit towards kids. Grow the **** up, you're the adult, you're not waiting in that line your whole life, no matter how much you deserve to.

Really? You were such a perfect child that you never, ever misbehaved in public? I think you're looking at your childhood with extremely rose-tinted glasses.
