Today, I went to the grocery store. My checker was very hot. When it came time for me to pay, I swiped my debit card and the machine kept rejecting it. Sure that I had money in my account, I did it again, before the cute checker informed me that I was swiping my driver's license, not my debit card. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the grocery store where this really cute guy works. I swiped my card but the machine wouldn't read it. I swiped it quickly some more before getting frustrated and saying, "Your stupid machine doesn't work!" He took the card and turned it around. His face said it all. FML
Today, I was shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart with my mom. As we pulled up to the cashier, I noticed it was a really hot girl from my school. Trying to be cool, I told my mom that I'll be paying for the purchases. My debit card was denied. My mom had to pay. FML
Today, I had an extremely embarrassing moment when I tried to pay my restaurant bill. First, I tried swiping my card, only for it not to work. After the cashier suggested I insert my chip card, I tried putting it on the bottom, only for it not to be there. I finished by putting the card in the proper place upside-down. FML
Today, I was paying for groceries when the cashier asked if I wanted cash back. I said yes and handed over my card. She stared at me and said, “You're using a library card.” I'd pulled the wrong card out of my wallet. FML
Today, I went to the self-checkout line at Walmart. When I tried to pay, the cash wouldn't go in, so I stood there trying to cram money into the thing that's supposed to take your money. What I didn't realize was that there was a sign up top that said: "No Cash. Cards Only." FML
Today, while paying for dinner, my card declined and my date immediately left. The waitress then ran my card again successfully. FML
Today, I was using self-checkout at the grocery store, and the machine flipped out and started randomly announcing, "Please wait for assistance." No one came to help, but the machine just kept loudly repeating it until everyone stared at me like I was trying to steal grapes. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping and treated myself to fresh flowers. At self-checkout, I scanned everything, paid and left. An employee ran after me to ask if I’d paid for the flowers. I’d scanned them as bananas, paying 68 cents instead of $12. I awkwardly scuttled back inside to “fix it.” FML
Today, it took me four tries to find the right position to swipe my debit card. My mom screamed, "Oh, for God's sake, why don't you ever get it right the FIRST time?" She then apologized to the cashier for having "such a stupid child." FML
Today, while working as a cashier, I was flirting with this cute girl. When I asked her if she had her store card she said, "No", paused, then said "Can I give you my number?" I said, "Sure, that would be awesome, do you want mine?" She said no. I didn't know I could just enter the card number. FML

That sucks. But if your a dude, it may have been excusable, seeing as how you didn't have enough blood in your brain at that moment.

Pay the **** attention. Yes, everyone has their slip-ups, but when it's because you think the checker is cute, YDI. How many more FMLs are going to happen about how stupid people get when they see someone they like? Really.

Wow, do you have some pent up anger issues or something? Are you mad because you don't have the looks to affect someone in a similar manner?

I wouldn't know as, if it did happen, or if it has (I once actually had to be informed I was being flirted with), I wouldn't notice because I'd be too concerned with how retarded they are. You're right though, I just might have anger issues. Maybe because this same FML has been posted a dozen times, just switching location, or maybe I am just really an angry person.

On another note, though, your username is hilarious.

Haha thanks:) When I worked retail, I frequently had to be informed when I was being flirted because I'm too much of a retard myself to pick up on the very obvious cues.

Haha thanks:) When I worked in retail, I had to be informed by someone else every time I was flirted with because I was too much of a retard myself to catch on to the very obvious cues.

Hahaha, I did this two days ago. The checker wasn't a very happy person either, and she was the one who noticed it was my driver's license. I laughed and said "Just keeping you on your toes". She just glared at me, clearly unamused. ..The world needs more people with a sense of humour..

As a cashier, I hear that excuse a least three times a day. It's hard to act like you're funny when we've heard that said to death. It has nothing to do with our sense of humor.
