Today, I was mopping the floor at the hotel I work at. Before I could react, a gentleman stormed through the corridor and slipped and fell on the still wet floor. He complained to the owner, who bitched me out just to satisfy the guy. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I cleaned the two staircases at the hotel where I work. Five minutes later, someone complained they were dirty. Someone had dropped soda and got mud all over them. FML
Today, I was shopping when I suddenly slipped on the wet floor and my basket and my groceries were flung everywhere. Moments later, one of the cleaners walked over holding a "wet floor" sign, saw me and laughed. FML
Today, we were closing the restaurant early. I begin mopping as a couple walks in. The lady slips and falls, and to avoid a lawsuit, we offer them free food. After they left, I slipped on the freshly mopped kitchen floor with dishes in my hands. I didn't get free food. FML
Today, I slipped at work while putting out a "wet floor" sign to make sure the customers didn't slip. FML
Today, I tripped over a "wet floor" sign at work and hit the floor hard. The floor wasn't even wet. FML
Today, I was in my family's hotel room taking a dump. The lock to the bathroom was broken so we had made a deal: when the door is closed, someone is using the toilet. The maid didn't know that. She punched me in the face because she claimed I scared her. FML
Today, I was shopping in a store and an employee was mopping the floor. She mopped all around where I was standing then told me to wait until the floor dried to move. I had to go to the bathroom. FML
Today, at work, after a visit to the bathroom, the lock broke in my hand and the door was jammed. I called the janitor on my cellphone and told him about the situation. He told me to fill out a complaint and leave it in his post box. He then hung up. FML
Today, a customer at work said his table was dirty. I asked which one he was sitting at so I could clean it for him. For some bizarre reason he got pissed and called my manager over. He ended up reporting us to corporate, and my manager got written up. He's blaming me for everything. FML
Today, at my hotel job, I had to help a drunk naked guy back into his room. Earlier today, a fat old guy wearing only briefs came down to the lobby drunk as hell. I used to like my job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, was there a sign? If not, it's your fault.

If there was not a wet floor sign, he could sue, from the stories I've heard from America.

"The customer's always right!"

Did the guy not see OP mopping? It's only common sense to not run through a wet floor unless you want to slip and fall.

OP should've had the wet floor sign up while she was mopping. And I don't know why this is a FML OP if you didn't get in trouble, only fake yelled at to make the customer happy.

Because even if it's fake yelling, it's humiliating to be bitched out in general, more so in front of a stranger.

Not if the guy was running through the corridor, like the OP said.

Now a days, the wet floor sign is right on the maintainace cart.

Of course he can if there's no sign. Haven't you seen Spongebob, when Plankton slipped and fell, and then tried to sue?

Bitch didn't get the krabby patty formula though, did he?!

@29: ...What?

Nope :) sponge bob made mr krabs a wet floor sign.

to sue you need to prove damages. no chance in hell an emotional distress case is gonna hold against a team of lawyers

Think about it this way: it's better that this guy gets artificial satisfaction than actual monetary compensation. Your boss simply made a business decision.
mattjamt 16
Yeah, I would have done the same thing. Doesn't matter if he's actually mad, he's just got to satisfy the customer in case of lawsuits, and protect the reputation of the place.

Something tells me you did put a sign out. One. Which probably isn't enough for whiny gentlemen who can't use their eyes... Sigh.
ElricMustang 23
I'm sure you or other women would try to sue as well in that situation. Let's not be ignorantly sexist, now.
DrippingSarcasm 20
I'm not a sue-happy person, so I wouldn't. By OP using the words "stormed through" I imagine he was pretty angry whether it be at the workers or personal stuff (I imagine it's at the workers as well, but maybe I'm wrong. That's why I say whiny), and he probably wasn't looking. He slipped, it was his own fault (Until OP says they didn't put out a sign).
ElricMustang 23
Where does it say he was angry before he slipped? "Stormed out" doesn't necessarily mean anger.
DrippingSarcasm 20
Stormed through doesn't exactly sound like something you'd say if someone was skipping joyfully through your lobby...
DanielleinDC 34
If someone is "storming through" a lobby or a corridor, it stands to reason the person is not in a good mood. I would hope OP put out a "Wet Floor" sign but the guy may have missed it if he was upset about something. But heck, if I see someone mopping a floor, I'm smart enough to sense that the floor may be wet and take caution, even without a sign.

Give him a BJ. Just satisfy him.

Um, no. Re-read the FML.

Hey at least the owner didn't fire you.

Wow, that sounds frustrating. I hope you don't meet many people like that.
coraline123c 23
You need a "no running in the hotel" sign
flufee2 27
Bitch at the owner to satisfy yourself!
Hiimhaileypotter 53
And then get fired. Great plan. :)

Maybe i didnt think this through...
