Today, while picking up a birthday cake, I was screamed at by an upset woman for getting special attention from the bakers, and that I was nothing more than an attention-hogging slut. The bakers are my co-workers and I was picking my cake up on my day off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was ringing up a woman at work. I saw she'd bought a birthday cake, so I smiled and said I hoped whoever it was for has a happy birthday. She looked at me in disgust, told me to mind my own business, then called me a "chucklefuck bitch." Okay then. FML
Today, I found out that my work threw me a birthday party alongside my coworker’s birthday. Said coworker spread a rumor, telling everyone that I wanted each person to buy me flowers and cake. Everyone thought that I was a weirdo for asking for those things from them. I wasn't at work today. FML
Today, I was at the bakery I work at. A man came in to pick up a cake he said he ordered, but we could find neither the cake nor the order form. He yelled at me about being 'incompetent' before remembering that he had ordered the cake from a different bakery. FML
Today, I celebrated my birthday with a few friends at home. As I bent down over my cake, my friend pushed my face into it. The baker should've told me she put a stick in it to support the cake. FML
Today, I was at work when an elderly lady casually mentioned it was her birthday. I motioned two of my coworkers over, and we sang a little "Happy Birthday" to her over the phone. Our boss stormed in mid-song and suspended all three of us on the spot for "unprofessional behavior." FML
Today, I was cussed out by a customer who was unhappy, and he asked to speak with my manager. When I told him I owned the store, he said that that was the problem. Apparently women are "too flaky" to run a bakery properly. FML
Today, at the supermarket, I bought a cake and had my friend's name put on it. It wasn't anyone's birthday, I just wanted to feel less ashamed about buying a whole cake for myself. FML
Today, as I'm 7 months pregnant and craving sweets, I helped myself to my MIL's birthday cake a little early. The family got so angry, they actually made me leave the party. My husband agreed with them. FML
Today, while working at Dairy Queen, a customer asked me what was so special about our ice cream cakes, and how they're different from regular cakes. I chuckled, and told her it's because they're made from ice cream. She threw a fit, which resulted in me being written up and sent home early. FML
Today, it was my friend's birthday, so I baked him a cake complete with his name written on it in homemade frosting. After I gave it to him, his mother berated me for it, saying I should have checked with her first before making a cake for her son. He's 28. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well I am sure you and your co-workers had a good laugh at her expense, she is the one who looked stupid after all--not you. Though it is not nice to be called a ****.

As a server I ask that question every shift.

Technically, it's better customer service to interrupt your conversation with co-workers if a customer approaches, unless you are all on break or not on shift. I agree that the woman was completely rude, though.

You should have just smirked and giggled at her just so you could get her fuming more. Then tell her that it's your day off. Or you could just follow my name and that's what you could have told her.

18 if OP bought a cake on her day off she's a customer too

True, but if she was carrying on an involved conversation with the staff while other customers waited, I can see why the customer might have been upset. The customer just chose to handle it badly.

Today, while at a bakery I spazzed on some guy who got special attention while I've been waiting in line for minutes. He works there. FML

Technically since it was her day off, and she bought a birthday cake, she WAS a customer

Sometimes a bitch slap can be helpful

Hopefully she was just having a bad day, and doesn't act like that 24/7. =_= FYL.

I've seen that before in a bakery. A woman came in to order a loaf they make there and got the money out to be told the price had gone up by 20p. She shouted at the staff for a good 5 minutes saying this was no way such a loyal customer to be treated! Poor lady behind the counter had to explain four times that she only does Saturdays and doesn't decide the prices....

Some people overreact far too much. My mother sent me to a store once to get some delicious garlic bread and when I went in I found that the price for a loaf had gone up 50 cents. I didn't freak out. Instead, I went to my car and dug around for quarters to pay the difference. There are good ways to handle things and there are bad ways. In your case, that woman handled it very badly.

True that. I've actually noticed a few more stressed people than usual lately though. Tiz da season to be cranky... Xmas can be bloody hard for lots of people.

Where my brother works, no matter if he's on duty or not, he has to keep letting customers in front of him.

Maybe she preordered it and the lady was upset because it was ready before hers
Sir_drink_alot 20
If he isn't on duty then he IS a customer

Walk by the lady and "trip" claim she tripped you.. have her kicked out and get a new cake..

I'm sorry, but who gives a ****?
heygirlie777 21
36- see, that's the thing. The workplace is ridiculous.

If my workplace made me let other people in front of me even when I was a customer, I don't think I'd shop there too much...
ashlyrose45 12
But OP never said that. Just said she was picking up a cake. Who cares if she chats with the staff, especially if they work together. Idk about you, but where I'm from it's actually considered impolite to not talk to the staff

Cakerage! Wow!

It shows more about her then it does you. Some women can be like that.

The cake was a lie, anyway

I've heard of bitchy customers, but this just takes the cake. Maybe when she said "Fruity Tart!" she was just talking about your cake.

Sounds like she was just baking a big deal out of muffin', we can't let flour emotions get to us or we'll be iced by society.

Yeah, what a real bitch! She batter apologise! please leave my spine intact

I think this lady needs to get baked so she can cool down. Or maybe she was moody because she had a bun in the oven, and it was too soon for it to be noticeable? Either way, that was un-egg-ceptable behavior.

27- Was that pun intentional? If so, nice. Very subtle.

Sounds like someone needs a cake to the face. A fruit cake. Made of anti freeze, razors and rat poison.

Wow... That escalated quickly.

Pull out your bear claws and make her a minced meat pie.
