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.

I can't believe she said that! no one has the right to comment on someone's sex life like that! and you shouldn't have walked away like that.. you should've continued the purchase.. maybe it would make you feel better? but really... I don't think you have to put on a show for people so they think you're getting some :|

You should have reported her and said if something was not done you never shop there again that's what I did at the gas station near my house when I asked for a bag for two cans of soda for me and my mom as I live across a busy highway and can't take the time to pick a can that slips out of your hand up she had refused saying it was only two cans yeah well unfortunately I have to dodge cars to get to that damn gass station

You need to stop being concerned with what other people think especially morons like that. Just be comfortable and confident with yourself and you will find the right person. I am all messed up from an accident 18 years ago and I could care less what people think of how I look. I am still confident of the person that I am and it shows.

It doesn't matter why you were buying them, that cashier had no right to say that to you. I would go back there and talk to the manager, that is so unprofessional!

Honestly, I think it was pretty stupid of you to do that. Why would you need to prove to some random that you have a sex life? How would that benefit? And she was a bitch, too, don't get me wrong. She's rude for doing so, but it wasn't the best idea to try that.

People dig someone with confidence :) You should really report that cashier, no business wants someone with that kind of attitude in customer service. What they did to you was unprofessional and rude, just because you're down on your luck doesn't mean you have to put up with being treated so poorly!!

Um, report the bitch! She has no right treating you that way. It's rude, not to mention very unprofessional! She needs to work somewhere besides a job that has her dealing with the public daily if she's going go be such a bitch like that!

There is no point in trying to impress a bitchy cashier by purchasing wine and condoms. Her life is probably a train wreck anyways as nasty of an attitude she has. She is a cashier...that in itself is an FML for her. Go back and get your wine at least!
