Today, I went out to buy a bottle of wine and some condoms. As the cashier scanned the condoms, she snickered and muttered, "Yeah right." She was right; I really was just desperate to look like I have a sex life. I got so upset that I left my items and walked out with tears in my eyes. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the drug store to pick up a few things. After looking for condoms for 15 minutes, I asked the cashier where I could find them. She said they keep them behind the counter due to theft. She refused to sell them to me, because they're for customers who might actually need them. 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 went to the store to pick up some feminine products. As I was paying, the male cashier looked at me sympathetically and asked if it was my girlfriend's time of the month. I'm a girl and was buying them for myself. FML
Today, my ex-husband’s new girlfriend stopped by the pharmacy I work at, checked out at my lane, and had me ring up her condoms. She kept bragging about how she’s gonna have “nasty freaky sex” with my ex all night long while I work at a “miserable pharmacy.” I burst into tears while she laughed and waltzed away. FML
Today, when I went to pay for my groceries, I accidentally handed the cashier a condom instead of my $20. FML
Today, I went to the store with my girlfriend. She needed to use the bathroom so I started looking at the books. It wasn't until the manager shot me a weird look that I realized I'd wandered down too far and was looking at bridal magazines, holding tampons, dog treats, and hair spray. FML
Today, I bought some makeup supplies at the supermarket. The cashier snorted and muttered, "Not enough in the world for you." FML
Today, I was at the supermarket checkout. I handed over my items, which included some tampons, tissues, and toilet roll. The security guard standing beside the cashier remarked loudly, "I'll be damned; she's flowing from every hole!" FML
Today, I had to admit that I'm an alcoholic when I spent my last dollar bills on Southern Comfort instead of tampons. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Doesn't matter if she was right, she acted unprofessionally. I'm so sorry she treated you like that. You'll find someone special.

I realize you must care about what others think, but it really doesn't matter what they think. Don't feel the need to fake it.

Pick a different store. Buy your wine and condoms. If a clerk snickers, just wink ;) What you call desperate could just as well be described as being open and available. You never know when you'll run into someone who strikes your fancy.

What a bitch! Sorry that happened, and don't be so down on yourself. And like other people are saying, report the bitch! XOXO

People like her are generally upset at their own lame lives. Don't worry about her OP, I'm sure you will find someone soon.

I'm so sorry. You didn't deserve that, no one does. I can't believe someone would do that. Just keep your head held high and you'll have a sex life when the time is right.

She was most likely joking around, no one expects an adult to be such a little bitch over menial things and ydi anyway for trying to impress some random cashier in the first place. Why the **** would you do that?

Mister, you march right back to the store and pick up your purchases. And this time, bring your sheep with you! That cashier will be totally jealous of you and ewe.

Make sure you tell him to bring in a blow-up sheep, perdix. I made that mistake of bringing in a live one and ended up being charged with kidnapping an animal and trespassing on the farmer's property.

YDI OP, for trying and failing to impress a random cashier. So drink up that bottle of wine and make a new plan.
