Today, I apologised to someone for my misuse of the word 'coloured' in a discussion about ethnic minority issues. They then got even more angry and said that to even quote the word in the context of an apology is evidence of my ignorance and inherent racism. FML

Today, at work, one of the elderly residents dropped a turd on the floor. I went to go get the nurse but couldn't find her. Upon returning to the scene, another resident picked it up and placed it in my hand, thinking it was mud. Now my nickname at work is 'Nugget'. FML

Any scenario where someone pays in coins reminds me of an old Looney Tunes short called "Wild Wife." There's a gag where a little old lady wants to deposit $200 at the bank--in pennies. She counts them out one by one too!

I used to pump gas and when I worked the later shift no one pumped gas after me, we just had someone working inside. I hated leaving when a customer would pull up and see me pumping someone else's gas, so I'd pump theirs too. Some nights I had to eventually call it quits.
