Miscellaneous: Today, I was working at my retail job. A customer stopped me...

Today, I was working at my retail job. A customer stopped me on my way to break saying "someone" had broken a snow globe. She showed me where it was and I cleaned it up with her circling me. I finished and put the cleaning supplies away when I heard a 'crash' as the same woman dropped another snow globe. 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, while working at Walmart, I was walking the sales floor and passed the end of an aisle. I saw a customer coming at me from the corner of my eye, so I jumped backwards. I hit a display case, and watched it topple over before turning to apologize to the customer. It was a ladder. FML

Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML

Today, I had no choice but to shake the hand of a customer, who just moments before, had the aforementioned hand down the front of his pants, scratching his snowglobes. FML

Today, at work at a store, I was sitting on the floor stocking a bottom shelf. A woman in a motorized cart did not see me, and ran over my hand. When I alerted her about what she had done she laughed. FML

Today, I was at work, nonchalantly spinning my keys around my finger when they flew off and hit a glass cabinet. Broken glass showered passing customers. I don't think I'll have a job to go to tomorrow. FML

Today, at my retail job, I was trying to get a large amount of cardboard to the trash and had a short path to maneuver through displays and customers. As I'm coming down the aisle, a customer sees me and stops to look at a coffee cup display, directly in my path. FML

Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML

Classic non-ironical Ironic

Today, I had a shift at my job at a grocery store that was full of rude and impatient customers. Someone dropped a bottle of wine and it shattered next to me. I found a half-eaten packet of sushi behind some magazines. The scale on another register broke. "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette played on the store radio at the end. FML

Today, I offered to stay late at my delivery job because it was snowing and several people called out. An hour later I got rear ended. FML

That sucks. I HATED working retail (part time). RUDE, STUPID people, and you don't even get tipped. Or morons who can't read, "But the sign says..." NO, it DOESN'T, go learn how to read. Geez, the general public is so stupid.

#30, oh noes, a job and interwebz in this economy, thats liek totalleh awesum!!1!!!111 Having a job and internet in this economy is nothing special, its not like 80% of the population got fired. It's like saying, your life doesnt suck, you don't have H1N1 while there is a pigflue going around aaaaaahhh we're all gonna die!!11! We're still 'the west' and still the rich bitches of the world, america might be abit less rich bitch but /care. Jobs and internet access are still normal for us all and nothing to be happy about. OP: Next time, break-time = break-time! Let someone else who isn't on their break clean it up.
