Just say "L-O-L J K"

Shouldn't have insulted your dogs, rude woman. Probably better behaved than her kid. Surely you can't be disciplined for something said outside of work, especially provoked?

Yeah, that pretty much blows.

I know plenty of people who use the term "walking my dog" as a way of saying masturbating. As in "what were you doing last night?" "Oh, I was... Uh... You know... Just walking my dog..." It's more commonly used by the really immature guys. But, it makes this FML a little bit more interesting and weird to read it with that perspective.

#84, You don't make any sense. At all. Pretty damn obvious he's not talking about jacking off. OP, that sucks, but it's sincerely not your fault. Don't worry about it too much!

You're right, except that I meant about coincidentally getting into a vocal fight with someone you see regularly and didn't recognize until it was too late. maybe think it through before you criticize somebody.

the same could also be said to that rude woman though.

Or worse, she may come back to get her fired.

Fired for what?

Can't get fired because she said something while off the job. Doesn't work like that.

One can only hope. I wouldn't want to be civil to such a horrible woman

She could lie to OP's boss saying she did something during work.

Some companies have stipulations in their employment contract that the employee is a representative of the company and should always conduct themselves in a professional manner in public. Of course, most of these are based on if you are identifiable as an employee of said company. Who knows, if the customer makes a big enough deal to management, could get OP in trouble.

The customer could always take her business away or write bad reviews that could hurt the business. That could be damaging to OP if she is a sales person, makes a commission, or owns the business.

There is always that one guy

Seriously, can I start calling people's kids sprogs when they start acting up. It's hard to get mad right away when you don't know what it is.

And I suppose you have the patience of a saint. Winky face

If some stranger is a rude **** to me for no reason, I'll give it right back to the bitch tenfold. **** brought it on herself.

I think people need some thicker skin. Wah Wah someone said keep a mutt away from me. Ugh. Overly sensitive people everywhere. So the person was a jerk to OP, get over it and move on. No reason to be a jerk back. 2 wrongs don't make a right as the saying goes.

Wrong #94. You give the bitch a taste if her own medicine so she doesn't have the audacity to be rude again

Just stop

Yeah come in dude, you're supposed to remember everyone's face.... I mean really the lady deserved it

If you talk to someone all the time you should know what they look like.

that is a good point 106,he could of been a little more self aware in that situation

It's actually one of the few times that it's completely appropriate... If someone makes an unprovoked and unnecessarily rude comment towards you for no other reason than to create an issue, then it is completely acceptable to be rude back. Why should OP be polite to a woman who would speak to what she thought was a stranger like that? Some people don't deserve to be the recipient of good manners and common courtesy.

why should op get in trouble at work, when all this happened when op was on their personal time?

So you're saying that she should've let the bitch walk all over her because it wouldn't be right to tell her off. Respect should be earned, not just given.

She can't exactly be in trouble with her boss when it didn't happen at work. She can't be disciplined for something that didn't happen on company time.

It isn't appropriate to be rude to someone who was rude to you because it doesn't help the situation, gives the person who was rude to you an even worse impression of you, and may well provoke an argument.

A coworker of mine got written up for how he treated a regular customer outside of work. He happened to see her at the grocery store and let her know how he really felt about how she treated him the last time she was at our work. She called our manager and sure enough, they wrote him up. I think it had something to do with representing the business badly.

In the case of the co worker approaching the customer outside of work, the difference there is that the confrontation was about work, even though it was off the clock and property. So in that case yes the co worker was being a poor reflection on the company. OP's situation however shouldn't be held over her at work bc it had nothing to do with work at all. Unless the OP works at a day care. Then it might be a problem.

#11, why would OP get in trouble with his boss when this clearly happened when they were away from work and on their own time?
