Today, I had a customer scream at me for ruining their child's birthday party. They had bought a Piñata from me and didn't know they had to fill it themselves. The kids had hit it open and it was empty. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a customer complained about me for getting their order wrong. This would have been fine if they hadn't sent their ten-year-old kid to order for them. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me because the cherry pie he bought had cherries in it, and he wanted a refund. FML
Today, my son accidentally damaged another kid in the face with a baseball bat, while blindfolded trying to hit a piñata. Except there was no piñata, or blindfold. FML
Today, a kid got his hand stuck inside my store's giant gumball machine. He started crying, and his negligent trainwreck of a mom bitched me out for being "unobservant." I'd been mopping up the mess she'd made after she'd spilled an open can of beer all over the floor. FML
Today, one of our store's beach balls came out of nowhere and whacked me in the back of my head. I started reaming out two young girls for playing in the store, even when they said it wasn't them. Soon after, one of my employees admitted that it was her. I made some 7-year-olds cry and it wasn't them. FML
Today, I received an angry phone call from a friend whose birthday party I missed last night. Yesterday, I gave birth to my son. She claims that I ruined her party and demands I still bring her a birthday gift. FML
Today, I was hosting my kid's birthday party. I had a bunch of small trinkets, so I grabbed the first container I could find to put them in. It wasn’t until I went out and someone yelled, "I’ll take a heavy flow!" that I realized it was an empty tampon box. FML
Today, as a pizza delivery driver, I delivered to a customer with young kids. She gave the pizzas to one of her kids to take inside, where the kid dropped them and it went everywhere. She then rang the store and claimed that I'd dropped the pizzas, then told her to "suck it up." FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I got sent home from work after a customer's daughter kicked me in the balls because her order was wrong. She was 6 years-old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's just....idiotic. Even if the customer didn't know you had to fill them, you'd think they would feel/hear that there was nothing inside it. An empty pinata is much lighter than a full one. o_O

I feel like you should explain, but also, they should be able to tell because the piñata was lighter or something.

Piñata are the best! You get to beat it up, then eat it!

Honestly I say it is a YDI if you didn't tell them they had to fill it. Some people just don't know that. FML if you did though. But wouldn't the piñata be lighter if it wasn't filled? She should have still checked.

It's not their place to point out the obvious, probably also written on it somewhere.

I've seen most places have a little sign somewhere saying "candy not included". I've seen a lot of people like to take a complimentary 5 lb. bag of deliciousness and argue that since you need both, they should be served together.

I wish these people had gotten together with the wedding party that served raw shrimp. A piñata exploding with raw shrimp would have been a classic visual, although you'd have to be there to enjoy the smell.

I think I'll release a line of piñatas filled with things like shrimp, hardened dog shit, and apples... Because why not?

Don't beat yourself with a stick, OP, and don't let them get away with trying to piñata their stupidity on you!! Make sure you tell the parents it was a "piñata of life"- promising on the outside, empty inside- that offers their kids a chance to prepare for the real world and its disappointments!!

Scream back at them for being stupid.
