Today, at work, I cashed out a sweet old lady. As I handed her the bag, she looked at me kindly and said, "Don’t worry sweetie. It'll get better," to which I responded, "What will get better?" She smiled at me and said, "Your face." FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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 went to the bank to deposit the cash I made waiting tables.

She thought I was a stripper. FML
Today, I was at a grocery store buying ice cream after the tragedy of losing my grandma. When I got to the cash register, the cashier saw the sadness in my eyes and said, "It's OK, you'll find the one someday, one that can look at your inner beauty and not care about the rest." He thought I'd got broken up with. FML

Today, I told my boss her new haircut made her look younger. She smiled and said, “Oh, thank you!” I tried to double down on the compliment and said, “Yeah, like... 20 years ago younger!” She stopped smiling. It turns out that would’ve made her twelve. FML

Never judge a book by its cover. “Sweet old lady,” my ass! The kindly frail exterior was just a façade for a bitter, heartless, soulless douchebag!

Sometimes elderly folks say the most offensive, inappropriate shit. Dunno if it’s from early stage dementia, or just getting to the age where they no longer give a shit.
