Today, while working at McDonald's, a woman returned to the drive thru because her fries weren't hot enough. She was so angry about coming back that she threw her cold fries at me through the window and told me to "choke on them." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, a guy asked for hot fries at the drive thru. After receiving the fries, he threw them at the drive thru window, complained that they were too hot, and asked for the manager for burning his mouth. I am the manager. FML
Today, at my place of work in a fast-food restaurant, a customer called in and bitched at me that her warm food was weirdly cold. That is, after she drove 45 minutes from the restaurant to her house. FML
Today, my mom was "that" customer at the local drive-thru. She slipped into attention whore mode and bitched the guy out for not giving us extra fries. He said she didn't ask for any, which was true. Instead of apologizing, she swore at him and floored the gas, sending our drinks spilling all over me. FML
Today, at Burger King, I was coming back from break. A customer screamed at me because she ordered a double cheeseburger without pickles, and they were put on anyway. She threw it in my face. My face was covered in ketchup mustard and pickle. Did I mention I was on a break and had nothing to do with this? FML
Today, I got yelled, screamed, and cursed at by a customer until I was reduced to tears. This was all because I double-checked to make sure she wanted large fries. FML
Today, I was sitting in McDonald's. A lady came up to me and started complaining about the bad service, and asked for the manager. I told her that I didn't work there. "But you must, someone that fat has to work here!" FML
Today, while working, a woman complained that she didn't ask for sauce on her sandwich. After examining the sandwich, I realized it was just melted cheese. When I told her, she threw the sandwich at me. FML
Today, I was at work at McDonald's, at the front counter when an elderly lady came up to me and whispered, "I just shit everywhere in your restroom," then turned around and walked out the door. FML
Today, as usual, I worked at McDonald's. Although I tried to diffuse the situation, an old man was absolutely furious, and punched me in the face over BBQ sauce. FML
Today, while working at a McDonald's drive-through, some dicks decided to pull a "fire in the hole" prank. Granted, it has been done to me before, this time was different. These pleasant people decided to use hot coffee. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When I go to McDonalds, I have two specific requests. Extra pickles, and hot french fries. Simple, right? At least it should be. But the monkeys they have working behind the counter can almost never get me those two things at the same time the first time. I'd go elsewhere, but it's generally the only thing open when it's well past midnight and I'm tired. I've written emails and filed complaints on the McD's website, and gotten no kind of helpful response at all, so I could easily see myself doing just this kind of thing. And yes. I can tell the difference between fries that aren't super hot because they sat in the bag for a minute and fries that were never hot when I pulled in.

I find it crazy that 1 in 4 people voting on this FML at the moment says that OP deserved it. Even if the fries were cold, the customer was in no way justified to throw them at an employee. She could have resolved the issue by acting like a decent human being. What happened to politely asking for a refund or have the food item replaced?

I love people like that. When I worked retail I hated them (still do) but how bad are their lives that they have to do this? and they make life interesting.

You know how to avoid things like that? Stop giving people cold fries.

you shouldn't serve old fries to people. Fries taste like shit when cold. you would be pissed too if you get serve cold pizza. that lady is wrong thowing shit at you though.

Unlike cold fries, cold pizza actually tastes quite good. :P

Sadly this happens more often then people think... We have a guy at Burger King that threatens to throw the fries back at us if their not hot enough for his liking.

once I had a lady go through drive thru, get her food at our second window, then she came back swearing and threw her food on the counter because her receipt wasn't in the bag... but she was handed the receipt at the cash register at the first window *face palm*
