Today, some asshat chewed me out over a 10 cent late fine he was charged on his library card. When I tried to explain the fine to him, he started mimicking me. Finally, as he chucked a dime at my head before storming out, I saw the glint of a Rolex watch from beneath his power suit. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at the library. I went near the computer section when I saw this man cursing and pounding his fists on a computer. He left. I thought I'd check it out. As I sat down, a librarian came over with the security guard and pointed at me. I'm now being fined for destroying public property. FML
Today, I tried to return a library book sneakily to avoid the overdue fine. I slid it on the counter but the scanner screamed, lights flashed, and the librarian announced my humiliatingly overdue name like a game show host. FML
Today, I rushed from work so I could get to the library to return a book that was due. The library closes at 7:00 p.m. I arrived at 6:56, huffing and puffing. The lady saw me, slammed the door in my face, and locked it. I now have to pay a late fee for 4 minutes. FML
Today, I went to a library to return a book that I've had for years. After a heated discussion with the librarian, not only did she charge me over a hundred dollars for the book, she also called the cops to escort me out. FML
Today, while at an important meeting at work, I got to watch helplessly as a police officer gave me a parking meter ticket. Added to that my boss chewed me out for "never paying attention and staring out the window during meetings". FML
Today, I told a customer that we don't do refunds. He responded by throwing his wallet at my face and accusing me of stealing it. FML
Today, I was at work at a coffee shop. We charge 50 cents every 15 minutes of use of our computers. An old man tried sneaking out without paying after being at a computer. As I was telling him to pay for his time, he threw a bagel at me and ran to his car. FML
Today, I bought some shoes, but pissed off the lady working at the store by returning them 5 minutes later. She yelled at me and ripped my receipt in half, everyone in the store watched as she threw a handful of pennies at my face. FML
Today, at the bank, some poor bastard got brutally dumped in front of everyone, prompting some total spastic behind me to cough and mockingly say "Loser!" The guy thought I'd said it, and started shoving me around and threatening to tear me a new asshole. FML
Today, trying to do a good deed, I gave a homeless guy a $10 bill. As I walked away, he yelled after me, "You fucking bitch!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You sure it was a Rolex and not just any random watch? Unless you have superhuman vision, I'd imagine a tiny brand inscription was hardly visible via "a glint." Sorry to be picky but it just seemed like maybe that detail was embellished for dramatic effect. (I swear I'm super fun at parties :D ) Anyway, I do empathize with your mistreatment, regardless of his real or perceived net worth.

It's just an expression to make the FML sound better. It sounds better to say a glint instead of simply "a Rolex". OP is not identifying a watch based on a glint.

It sounds like it's time to "accidentally" put a hold on his account.

Why couldn't you just void the late free it is was that big of an issue for him? I would have.

Because you shouldn't get your way just because you're a bitch? Rules are rules, and they especially need to be followed when you're acting like a spoiled kid.

Over a dime?! Probably should say something to your manager...

I'm not agreeing with what he did at all, and its just a dime, but you do not make money by giving it away and majority of the time if you complain you can get tiny fees like this waved.

Complaining about a late fee does not make it go away. When you get a library card, you sign that you agree to all the terms and conditions, which includes returning items on time and paying late fees if you don't.

doesn't make what I said any less true for most cases. Library fees may be an exception, but most companies can wave the fee if it is your first offense or you have been a customer for a long enough period.
