Emotional
Today, an elderly man had to give me money to pay for my grocery bill because my sister broke down crying in the store as I didn't have enough money to pay for both her milkshake and cookies. She's 19. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my neighbor's son is supposed to be giving me gas money for driving him to school each morning. He's using it to buy drugs instead. FML
Today, I had been sick all day, so to cheer me up my dad drove me to get ice cream. On our way back, we hit a puppy. FML
Today, at work as a cashier, a guy came up with a cart full of stuff and it took me 10 minutes to ring it all up. When I told him his total, he felt his pockets, said, "Oh shit, I forgot my wallet!" and walked off. He left about 15 bags worth of things for me to put back. FML
Today, my man got arrested for starting a fistfight with a cashier who wouldn't let him smuggle out groceries without paying. It gets worse; two weeks ago he got arrested mugging a guy at a gas station, and he's still on bail. FML
Today, my mother stopped speaking to me because I won’t let her babysit anymore. Her idea of babysitting is to sit my daughter alone with a tablet and a pile of sugary junk food for 7 hours straight. FML
Today, I saw a woman breastfeeding her child at the local park. That would have been just fine if the child wasn't at least 8 years-old. FML
Today, my sister told me not to come over anymore because her baby is scared of my face. FML
Today, I'm so strapped for cash that I smuggled toilet paper out of my mother's house. FML
Today, I was working the register at our local McDonald's. After a strange man left a massive order, he said, "Can I pay you in gummy worms?" FML
Today, I went to El Pollo Loco for the $10.00 special. I ordered from the pimple-faced kid at the register, pulled out two fives, and he said, "That'll be 9.70, I gave you the senior discount." I'm 10 years away from that. Thank you? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'd have refused the money, can't have people break down crying each time they don't get a milkshake and cookies.

Hopefully, at the very least, your sister thanked him profusely... How can someone do this when they're already a grown adult?

I think he was joking, because all of the old women on FML have been assholes. I don't think he meant it literally.

Must've read too many bad granny FML's...

Even though it is stereotypical, it's a bad stereotype. Besides, can you explain to me how Jimmy Saville was a nice guy? I mean, he could've been, but you know..

Not really, there was one FML a while back where an old woman lied on OPs shoulder and died during a bus ride. OP didn't know until he had to get off.

How can someone do this? Ask a pregnant woman...or a female on her period. (though, I've never broken down and cried over snacks...but that's just me!)

Well the reason it's called hormones is cause they can't really control it. Think about it like you're emotionally drunk. Of course, some women get it at different levels, just like everybody's alcohol tolerances.

Maybe you can't control your hormones, but all they do is affect your mood. They don't 'make' you cry, the most they could do is make you sad or a bit down. My hormones go mental every month, and when I was pregnant they made me absolutely crazy- the littlest things could affect my mood, but I never broke down in public, especially just because something didn't go my way, because I'm an adult and I'm fully aware that it's really not acceptable behaviour for a 23 year old! Thats one thing I hate so much and have had way too much experience with; women who use pregnancy as an excuse to throw a fit if they don't get there way. It's pathetic.

behaving like a brat and breaking down in the middle of public are two completely different actions, having a tantrum is acting like a brat, breaking down into tears because of hormones or mental and depression factors isn't acting like a brat. granted OP's sister was probably being a brat.
Coeliacchic93 21
I have broken down in tears in public due to a number of issues. that being said I did not throw a hiss fit or act like a brat, I tried to calm down as much as possible and I actually apologised to the person (in my case it was a doctor) and went outside to get air then went home. it wasn't my fault I cried I'm a very emotional person but I in no way acted like OP's sister. there is NEVER an excuse to act like a brat
amphetamin3 17
Lmao. When did I ever say it was acceptable? I was just pointing out an example to answer their question.
amphetamin3 17
It's quite alright, #71. I don't take much personally. Lol. Like I said, I was just throwing out an example as to why someone would do this... not trying to make it seem like an acceptable behavior but only a reason as to maybe why. :p

It's annoying when girls use being pregnant or on their period to be assholes. They need to have some self control.

HanBroman 20
Yeah op please tell me you didn't take that man's money. What a little brat
mylifeequalsfml 5
let's be honest though, when you really want something you really want it. but the crying at her age I don't think was acceptable
mikuxxhatsune 32
Yeah I reall ywant a mansion and a Ferrari really really bad. Doesn't mean I can whine and hissy fit my way into getting them.
Kermy1113 23
I mean she might've been on her period. It would explain the break down and the milkshake and cookies.
cracchiolo 16
Fyl could've just walked away from her and let her weep alone ya?
StarWolf111 21
At least he was nice enough to help you pay for your groceries though :)

Never too old for milkshakes and cookies

But there is a limit for going crazy in public
fantasyworld 39
I understand the behavior coming from a little kid but not an adult.
TylerBurden 21
Such a nice guy. He understands the importance of milkshake and cookies together. You just can't eat cookies without it. That's not possible.
tony2win 5
I would prefer straight milk with those cookies as opposed to a milkshake...
TylerBurden 21
Right, but without something milky cookies are kinda boring. That's what I meant but you are absolutely right.

What a sweet man, sorry your sister is a brat OP, hopefully you thanked him heaps. Maybe don't take your sister next time?
alyant 12
Such a nice guy. I hope your sister enjoyed her snack!!
HersheySquirts 17
Oh, Well I hope she choked on the cookies in front of everyone in the store.
angelicdevil 16
I would've told her to act her age, thank the elderly man but decline, and then walk out. If she acts like that and people keep giving in, she will never grow up.
