Today, while shopping, a lady came up to me and asked if she could borrow my baby because, "Y'know, I'm in a hurry and they'll let me checkout first." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, at work, I saw a lady leave her infant in a display crib so she could go shopping. When I stopped her and told her she couldn't do that, she said, "Well, I do it all the time." FML
Today, while I was shopping, I spotted a lady who had the last of an item I wanted in her cart. She went off to the dressing room, so seeing my opportunity, I went and grabbed it from her cart, and put it in mine. I hadn't noticed her bratty-ass daughter next to the cart, who then yelled, “I saw that! Mommy! Some lady's stealing from your cart!” FML
Today, I waved at a baby while standing in line in a store. It started screaming. Its mom looked over in mild concern and gave me a disturbed glare before moving to the next checkout counter over. FML
Today, while at the mall, a lady dropped her credit card while in line to buy something. I came over, picked it up and gave it to her just for her to shove it in my hand and scream, "She's stealing my wallet! My wallet!" The police came. FML
Today, at work, an old lady came through my line to buy some groceries. She told me she lost her purse and was a little short. It was busy, so I pulled out my little purse and gave her the money she needed. A few minutes later she returned with my boss, insisting that my purse was hers. FML
Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML
Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML
Today, at my job as a cashier, a man and his 3-year old son got in line. The father said, "Give this to the pretty lady," looking at me. The kid looks at me, looks at his dad, and walks over to the next cashier. FML
Today, while in line at the supermarket, I told the lady behind me that she had a cute baby. She shot me a disgusted look and straight up accused me of being a pedophile. FML
Today, the lady in front of me in the checkout line had a pacifier hanging around her neck, but I didn't think much of it until it was time for her to pay. She reacted to the $250 total by crying like a baby and very loudly asking me to put the pacifier in her mouth to calm her down. FML

I'd heard of pretending to be pregnant to get a seat on the bus but this is new to me

Sounds like kidnapping to another level

Atleast she asked before kidnapping your child? But really though, how would that let her go first? People with kids still have to wait...

Sometimes people let people with babies go first. (Rarely but I've seen it happen) honestly it is stupid unless she is disabled or something she can wait like everyone else.

I honestly can not believe someone asked to borrow your baby to get checked out faster. You have got to be freaking kidding me?! If someone where to ask me that I would just stand there looking at them dumbfounded, mostly because I wouldn't be able to believe someone could actually ask such an outrageous request. This is honestly the craziest thing I have ever heard.

I seriously hoped you kicked her in the stomach. You know, so that she won't be able to use her own baby just to skip a line.

The lady isn't pregnant. Also, if you hit a pregnant woman in the stomach you are a monster.

15, you're a woman yourself, but you thought of the sickening idea to kick what you thought was a pregnant lady in the stomach. Shame on you!!

To all the people that assumed I thought the lady was pregnant: I realised that she isn't pregnant. I only said that because I didn't think she would be a good mother to her own child if she is willing to use a strangers baby just to skip a line. Moreover, WHO THE **** WOULD KICK A PREGNANT WOMAN?

But if that's what you're implying... Babies don't come from stomachs.

These are the types of situations that my deaf ASL teacher told us to pretend to be deaf in, or if we ever felt uncomfortable, Just look at her, and start making random signing gestures with your hands. She'll get confused and walk away. I've done it before and people just give a look like "wtf are you doing?"and walk away. It works. Although then sometimes you actually get a deaf person (which is usually rare) so if you don't know sign language that probably isn't a good idea. If that doesn't work, You could always just make a really weird face and they'll get freaked out and walk away.

Why do people insist on touching other people's babies.

People with kids still have to wait, I'm hoping you didn't give her the kid.
