Today, I went into a music store to look into getting a new guitar. I picked up one that I was interested in and tried it out quietly. A sales representative approached me and asked me to "stop the noise and leave the guitars for serious customers." I've been playing for almost ten years. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML
Today, I was in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML
Today, I was trying sell a customer a top-of-the-line surround sound system. Apparently he was aware that I work on commission, as he threatened to buy the system elsewhere unless I sang Rebecca Black's "Friday" in front of the whole store. Goodbye, self-respect. FML
Today, I dropped my 6-month-old $3,500 guitar. Luckily, it had a one year warranty from the store so I drove back. It was shut down. FML
Today, I learned how to play "Happy Birthday" on the guitar, just to have my friend tell me that my voice sucks, and that I needed to stop immediately. FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, I had to explain to my little sister that not all guitars are supposed to have a hole in them, that when I was talking about "breaking it in" I didn't mean I'd smash a hole in it, and that she shouldn't have taken a hammer to my expensive new guitar. FML
Today, my sister was playing a rock star in a play. When she got home, she told me she used one of my old guitars, because I told her it was ok. I said she could take one to practice on, not destroy on stage. FML
Today, I was at a piano lesson playing a song I had worked very hard to make perfect. Halfway through, my teacher abruptly stops me and asks, "Did you notice that I rearranged the furniture?" FML
Today, I was listening to music while wearing my headphones on campus. A song I really liked came on, and after a while, I started doing air guitar along to it. I was soon accosted by campus security. Apparently, air guitar looks like jerking off from really far away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe he thought that all you were gonna do was just play with them and not actually buy anything? Haha always gotta think on the bright side.

I hope you walked out and never buy another thing from them. Also, hope you let the management know what happened and why a serious musician won't be buying from them again.

Probably so did thousands of other people. An FML doesn't go through just one person before being submitted to the staff.

You should have told them to leave the job and leave it to capable people. Hope you tell everybody not to go there, see how they like that :)

Chances are he's just really narrow-minded.. Like if someone came into a store and started playing death metal, 99% of the people there would recognise that as noise whereas most of it actually takes quite a lot of skill to play. Just pure ignorance OP, don't worry about it, unfortunately it's way too common today :)

Sucks... Most music stores I've been in allow everyone to try the instruments, even encourage people to try them out.

Yeah, I was looking at guitars with absolutely 0 experience and no one said anything about me strumming random strings

I hope you told the salesman that you're an expert and threatened to complain to his boss. if you do report him and other workers ask if you really are good, wow them with your expertise and get the dude in trouble. simple plan. it's usually guaranteed that you'd win since the customer is always right and the salesman was pushy towards you.
