Today, my Dad and I went to McDonald's, only to have him shove two handfuls of sugar packets into the bag. He said, "If it's for free, why only take one?" To make it worse, my crush was at the till, watching what was happening. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I gave my dad $40 and asked him if he could get me lunch on his way back home. Long story short, he came back empty handed telling me it was my fault for trusting him with McNuggets. FML
Today, after a long, horrible day at work and some fighting with my family and my girlfriend, I decided to cheer myself up by going to McDonald's for a change. I burst into tears when the cashier told me they couldn't make me a Mars McFlurry because they'd run out of ingredients. FML
Today, after a long day at work, I was starving, so I stopped by the drive-through for something to eat. When I got home and hurriedly opened the bag, all I found inside was napkins. Thanks, McDonald's. FML
Today, I went shopping with my Mom. I ran into my crush. A school dance is soon and he WAS just about to ask something but my mom glanced over and yelled "TAMPONS OR PADS, SWEETIE?!" He then changed his question to "Haha, so which?" And before I could say a word, my mother answered for me. FML
Today, my mom, who still refuses to get a mobile phone, was late coming home, so I was sent to buy dinner. Dad wanted seafood. I picked it up and returned, only to find Mom was already back with McDonald's. Dad insisted we eat that, despite my protests and MY money I'd spent on HIS request. I made sure Mom saw the Verizon ads. FML
Today, while at my job in a candy store, a boy stuck his hand into the bin, contaminating the candy. As I politely explained that the dad had to purchase the affected candy he refused, yelled, then angrily agreed to buy them. The total cost of the candy with the extra pieces? $1.69. FML
Today, I stopped at a mini-mart and bought a family-size bag of potato chips, a tub of dip, a box of toaster pastries, and some snack cakes. The guy at the counter said, "Wow, someone's hungry!" I told him it wasn't all for me, paid, and left in a huff. It was all for me. I ate it all by that evening. FML
Today, at Arby's, there were two cute guys behind me in line. Right before ordering, my dad said loudly "Go get the calorie sheet. You need to lose more weight before you think about going after those guys." FML
Today, while I was working at McDonald's, a man and his wife ordered a Sundae. I gave the guy his sundae and realized I'd forgotten something. I said, "One second sir. Let me grab your nuts." I realized what I said when his wife gave me the death glare. FML
Today, I took my daughter to the grocery store. The bag boy seemed to be flirting with me and smiling. He had to be half my age. Once in the car I glimpsed myself in the rear view mirror. I had chocolate completely covering one of my front teeth. FML

Take some sugar packets, go to your crush, and say, "I think you dropped your nametag."

Why not just get him to be your sugar daddy?

Thing is, it's not for free. The cost of that stuff is built into the food. Enough people do it and they have to raise their prices. It's not just at mcdonalds, it's everywhere

My mom loves doing that.:D I find it amusing even when we're around people I know.

Please stop slagging off people who work at McDonalds :L I work there and it's because I need the money while I'm at college - not because I'm stupid and plan on it being a future career. Everyone has to start somewhere and I am sick of customers belittling me because I have a part time job. Besides, they are the ones who choose to eat there.

You could get a part time job somewhere that sucks less, or possibly even one that helps you build references and connections for your future career.

Beat me to it. Especially in this economy, where other jobs are out of reach of the young people because employers find it easier to hire folks who are already experienced, you really can't be picky, nor can you judge, based on one's work environment. At least they HAVE a job! And whiterabbit, by that logic, fast food should be abolished since it's such a 'poor quality job' for people to have.

Couldn't agree with ya more. Everyone who works at McD's or any other fast food restaurant can't be automatically inferior, so many high schoolers or college kids work there to scrape together as much change as they can. Even if it IS your "career", kinda sucks I'm sure, but at least you have a job. You can't be like, get a job that sucks less.. dude, it's a job. I don't know if you've heard, but it's not like they're passing them out willy-nilly these days. Gotta take what you can get.

82- I'm saying if they are sick of people looking down on them, it's on them to better themselves. It's good that they are working yes. But they always say "it's easier to find a job when you have one" so start looking! People being content with mediocrity is why fast food employees get treated like crap, and why the food is crap.

I actually treat fast food employees with respect. They're people too. Which is probably why they actually give me better food and fill the fry box all the way up.

I don't disrespect anybody, anywhere, ever. And I don't eat fast food. It's all genetically modified, additive and preservative laden crap. My point is simply, if you're unhappy, do something about it. You can't expect other people to change. "you must be the change you wish to see in the world." -Ghandi

Were you talking to the OP or someone else commenting? I thought that by "To make it worse..." OP was talking about how their crush saw their dad's behavior...not that they were embarrassed their crush worked at McDonald's.

Worst FML ever. Quit bitching. Collect more sugar and ask your crush to help out if he is going to watch. The thrill of free stuff and bonding can make a guy see youre goofy. Not bitchy because your dad likes him some SUGAAA!

If your crush works at mcdonalds, I'm sure you have more to worry about
