Today, I was chatting to a nice girl at the mall, and I said if she didn't get a raise, I would write to the management. She said they have no email address, and I replied that I meant an actual letter. "Like, on paper?" she said, "Damn, how old are ya, pops?" I want a ticket off this planet. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I sent an email to a girl I like about how I really feel about her. She later replied "Real funny, tell Michael to change his password!" FML
Today, I was chatting to a cashier I see quite a lot, trying to be as charming and as unsmarmy as possible. When she asked if I wanted the receipt, I panicked and said, "No thanks, I don’t believe in paper." She looked at me like I was an alien. FML
Today, I sent a polite yet strongly-worded email to one of my corporate clients in which I expressed my irritation at being asked the same question by the same team for the 4th day in a row. I ended it with "Regards!" but accidentally swapped the 'g' with a 't'. FML
Today, I was working a concert ticket booth. A lady gave me her ticket, I punched it, and told her to enjoy the show. She asked for the “hotel.” Apparently, she thought that the concert ticket cost included a hotel stay, since she traveled from out of state. She cussed me out and had to be escorted out. FML
Today, I handed a written complaint to a shop manager about an employee who had used foul language to my teenage daughter. I then watched as he took the complaint to the employee in question, they read it together, laughed, then the manager tore it in half and threw it in the bin. FML
Today, at work, an elderly lady came up to the cash register with a flyer in her hand, and asked if we had a certain item. I told her we did not have any left, and we would be getting more next week and if she wanted, I could give her a rain check. She hit me in the face with her purse. FML
Today, I was emailing a government employee at the place I'm hoping to get hired by. I realized too late I had been emailing her with my personal email address, which is rather jokey and unprofessional. She noticed and started referring to me as that. FML
Today, I was online dating and a girl from high school messaged me. Thinking she might have matured since we're now in our 40's, I messaged back. She then said it was a joke and that I'm still a desperate, pathetic nerd trying to score with the hottest girl in class. FML
Today, I wrote my phone number on a Post-it note and gave it to a cute girl at work. She immediately threw it away. In front of me. FML
Today, I received a very angry email from the lady who interviewed me for a position at a clothing store. She told me I was entitled, unprofessional, and greedy. Apparently, “Because I need money to pay my bills and feed my daughter” wasn’t an appropriate response to, “Why do you wanna work here?” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Today's society scares me. Too many people today completely depend on electronics and cannot live without them instead of considering it a luxury or a treat

Haha, this is hilarious. Not the FML, but the comments. I would love to know how often you all write physical letters. Do me a favour, compare the amount of letters you've written to the number of emails -- suddenly, it's pretty obvious which system is the relevant one in today's society. It's not a case of "can't live without technology," it's a case of staying with the times. Hell, in technological terms, email is getting long in the tooth as well, but it's a primary source of communication for a huge amount of people. What scares me honestly is that a BUSINESS doesn't seem to have an email system set up? I mean really? That's pretty bad. Besides that, writing a letter (complaining) about a raise is probably the most impersonal thing I could think of (besides email) and shows you're too scared to (politely) confront upper echelons about a gripe - great message to send to your boss - especially in a job where people skills are key. Why would you not suggest that she discuss it face-to-face with her line manager? Hell, even over a drink if the manager isn't stuck up their own ass. Anyway, YDI for thinking that we shouldn't be deprecating old technologies in favour of newer and better ones. Have a good day, old man.

So no one thinks it's an asshole/creepy move that OP was 'demanding' for a raise for a nice girl, while she probably didn't even deserve it? And that's why I hate certain customers.
