By first time at McDonald's in months... - 27/03/2013 05:04 - United States

Today, I was at McDonald's. As I left the counter with the food, I heard the cashier mutter, "Fat ass." I turned around and demanded to see the manager. Once he came and heard the situation, he looked at me and said, "Well, it's not like he's wrong, right?" FML

Today, my mom hit me in the face after an argument she didn't win. According to her, Mexican and American are languages, and not dialects or nationalities. She even argued with my teachers, and threatened to remove me "from a school full of uneducated people" after they told her I was correct. FML

Today, I got told repeatedly to "stay in my lane" by a woman in her 40s. Why? Because I politely asked her if she had a mask when she entered the retail store I work in. Our policy is that everyone must wear a face mask in the store at all times. One hour down, 8 more to go. FML

Did you try talking to her first and she was just on her phone, or did you decide that because she's on her phone you'd be passive-aggressive and send her a text instead?

Try to make her see a day without technology and how valueable your relationship is

Just got out of a five and a half year marriage where my ex-wife was just like this. Even to the point where our children don't even attempt to ask her for anything or even to try and talk to her anymore. She was like that from the beginning and it was always an issue for me. If it's something she will not stop or even attempt to break the habit, don't get married and start a family with someone that you have to fight with technology just to talk to.

I tried to do the "day without technology" and made other attempts to get her to see how much she was on her phone and it would always start a week-long (at the least a week) fight every time.
