Today, I was screamed at and told that I was denying someone's "second amendment" by not letting him through with a gun. I work at the border; he was trying to enter Canada. This is not the first time, and it probably won't be the last. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, I was screamed at and slapped by a woman for supposedly violating her 2nd Amendment rights. In reality, I'd simply turned her away from the 10 items or less line because she had well over the allowed number of items. I've no fucking idea what's wrong with some people. FML
Today, on my first day at my new job delivering mail, I was yelled at by a guy, who threatened to shoot me if I "trespassed" on his property. He made me toss his mail toward his porch from the street, before telling me to get lost. FML
Today, in an attempt to win a political argument, I recorded myself walking into a gun store and asking which gun would be best to hypothetically deal with my neighbor's annoying kids. I now have a recording of myself being chewed out, banned for life, and perp-walked out the door. FML
Today, I met my Canadian friend at the airport. As we were heading into the city, I told him not to worry about all the US stereotypes and that gun crime in my city is rare. A few hours later, we witnessed a guy get shot in the street in broad daylight. Now he's too scared to leave the house. FML
Today, here in Canada, my father-in-law talked to me about how people who are "not Canadians" are destroying the country. He called me an "import" several times within the course of an hour. I've been a citizen for over twenty years. FML
Today, I got screamed and honked at by a driver who felt I was in the way of his turn. I was on foot, and on the sidewalk. FML
Today, when I tried to go to work, there were gun nuts blocking the road near my apartment, protesting something or other. I called the cops to break it up, only to be told, "We can't do anything because they have rights." Don't I have the right to not be terrorized by lunatics? FML
Today, I got threatened with a gun at the drive-thru, all because my coworker forgot to include extra fries in the guy's order. FML
Today, my 6-year-old son was so angry at me for not buying him overpriced candy at the airport that he told a security guard I had a machine gun in my suitcase. The interrogation was not pleasant. FML
Today, my friend was pulled over and told to get out of the car. The officer motioned for me to get out of the car too so I reached behind me to get my shoes. He then pointed his gun at my face and frantically asked my friend if I had a gun. My friend calmly replied, "No, but shoot him anyway." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Second amendment in US, not in Canada. He's clearly an idiot

I really hope he got arrested for trying to cross the border with a gun. Or at least a REALLY big fine. Not all of us are dumb. Please be patient with us.

Mark Wawra is an officer from Michigan. He wrote a scathing letter to the Calgary herald for not being allowed to bring his weapon to Canada.

Yes indeed he did. I live in Calgary and read/followed that story out of interest. He also mentioned that when someone came up to him saying hello amd asking how he was doing he felt he was naked without a gun!! (Paraphrased obviously). What would he have done if he had the gun? It would appear from his story that anybody who asks how you are doing is a threat to personal safety and must be dissuaded by the presence of a gun. Obviously there are sketchy people in all cities but there are also be nice people.

Don't forget about the war of 1812! There's a reason America has 'New York' and we have Fort York ^_^

You need to point him in the direction where Second Amendment rights apply. Tell him he can trade his gun for free health care, that is, if he doesn't mind waiting 8 months to get a check-up ;)

Better then being denied coverage and forced to die. Example: Wells-Fargo regarding Mr. Gonzalez's 3 year old daughter. ;)

#59, I actually agree with you. Sorry you fell for the troll-bait regarding the excessive waiting times. I know someone who just went to the doctor and had to pay full price, even though she has a full-time job. I think that is uncivilized. We may quibble about how much care we provide hobos, but when it comes to children and hard-working people, it shouldn't even be an issue.

Nothing like paying $750 for a single Tylenol pill because you don't have insurance.

#61, it's true f*** doctors , they're not hard working people. They should have no right charging for their services. They didn't spend on average $300,000 and 12 years on education, sacrificing most of their early 20s in the establishment of their careers. Seriously all these a**hole doctors taking "24h call" think they have a right to charge?!? Government should regulate how much they make! it's not like they're Celebrities, Athletes, Accountants, Plumbers, Lawyers, Politicians etc....only they get to set their salaries and wages.

#99, the government does regulate what doctors make and that is why it is so high! They do it with these licensing schemes to maintain a constant shortage of doctors. You can see this most easily in the acceptance of foreign-trained doctors. In the fat times, anyone with a medical degree from practically anywhere can waltz right in and start practicing, but in the lean times, doctors from prestigious foreign schools have to start over from residency to get qualified. (Four years of working for $10-15 per hour).

And Americans wonder why everyone hates them... It's people like this

Yes, we should start exporting our idiots out to Great Britain. Then they came be the idiots for awhile. We'll make it an idiot schedule and include every idiot from every other country. Every country gets all the idiots of the world for twenty years. Then they will be transported to the next country. (Though we will only include chronic idiots.)

Going by that logic every country would be hated. Stupid people do not solely reside in America.
