Today, my 18 year-old son threatened to sue a store because they refused to give him a senior discount, at which point he trashed the store in a blind rage, and got banned for life. That would make more sense if he was actually a senior, not a senior in high school. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son's lemonade stand was robbed by a senior citizen. FML
Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML
Today, I was fired for not asking a senior citizen for proof that he was over 21 and legally allowed to purchase alcohol. When I told my manager he was clearly over 21, he replied, "But what if he WASN'T?" FML
Today, my son is an idiot, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a job as a cashier in one of my stores. Within half an hour, I was sent security footage from that store's manager showing my son on his phone, ignoring customers, picking his nose, and stealing money from the till. FML
Today, my son got fired from work. He took it upon himself to openly insult his boss, and make racial derogatory jokes against a Hispanic coworker of his. He labeled it “freedom of speech” and is gonna “sue for wrongful termination” for “attempt to censor him for having a different opinion.” He’s 28. FML
Today, some guy tried to mug me. Shocked, I threw a punch that somehow knocked him on his ass. I'm now staring down the barrel of a lawsuit since he was apparently only 16 and "acting out" because of his shitty home life, as if I should have just handed him my wallet politely. FML
Today, my wife is mad because some kid in a store offered her the seniors' discount and she got offended. I had to tell her she’s 66 years-old and is actually entitled to that discount, so she should calm the hell down. She’s not spoken to me in over 24 hours. FML
Today, my 16 year-old son has to sue his great uncle and step aunt for theft and extortion of his father's estate. FML
Today, my nineteen-year-old son attempted to mug me. With a screwdriver. FML
Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like someone needs a bus ride to the nearest Boot Camp. That will surely set him straight.

He's got a good case. Stores have been too flippant with their bait-and-switch tactics. If all goes well, stores will be responsible and offer him a senior discount when he's a senior in college. He's practically the Rosa Parks for ageism. If they just want to give discounts to old farts, they ought to call it the Old Fart Discount.

the fault lies with the parents if the child grows up this entitled

Perhaps, but nothing military school can't fix.

The kid sound more dim than entitled.

'Blind rage' my ass. He knew exactly what he was doing and you are busy making excuses for him. Google 'Enabler' and then go look in the mirror. Then either ground him or make him work back the damages.

I gathered from the fact that he's 18, that he's not a senior. If he's at least a senior in high school, then that's something. It's not something to go into a blind rage about, but something to at least justify some definition of senior. Honestly, a reaction like this makes me wonder what kind of parents raised an entitled jerk with anger issues who is so sheltered he doesn't even know what a senior discount is.

High school senior? Sounds more like a kindergartner to me.
