Today, I was verbally abused by a customer at my job. Apparently, wearing "ugly, thick-framed hipster glasses as a fashion statement is a HUGE faux pas." These are my actual prescription glasses, and "faux pas" is not pronounced "fox paws". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was waiting for a bus, a nutjob-looking dude walked up to me, then hissed, "You hipster scum, you don't even need those glasses," before forcibly removing them and snapping them in half. I was wearing regular clothes, and those prescription glasses cost me $500. FML
Today, my wife and I went shopping for new glasses at a local store, but we didn't really get to actually buying one. On our way back, she warned me that my glasses of choice should in no way be 'those big arty ones'. When I asked her why not, she told me that I 'look gay enough already'. FML
Today, I thought the cashier said the new blouse I picked out was ugly as she was ringing me up. I'm really self-conscious about my fashion sense, so I snapped and started yelling at her. It wasn't until she was close to tears did I find out she said "lovely" not "ugly". So, that's another store I can't go back to. FML
Today, I inadvertently gave passers by the middle finger as I tried to stop my glasses from sliding off my face. FML
Today, a customer made a huge scene at work because all of our reading glasses are made in China, and apparently any "moral" person should be repulsed by that. FML
Today, at work, somebody stole my sunglasses. Fed up with the constant theft in my office, I stormed up to my boss, as he had long ago promised to catch the thief. He listened patiently to my rant before pointing out that my sunglasses were on my head. FML
Today, while out shopping, a middle aged man snatched my sunglasses off my face, threw them off the ground, and stomped on them, saying, "That’s what you get for trying to look cool, asshole!" I suffer from light-induced migraines. FML
Today, I was written up. Too many customers complained that I don't wear makeup or do my hair. I got written up for being ugly. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, my boss "borrowed" my prescription sunglasses off my desk. She crashed her car because they made her dizzy, and thinks I should pay for the damages. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I may be the minority on this opinion, but I believe good customer service is a privilege, not a right. In retail situations, I feel the employee should be treated how the customer wants to be treated. Sorry OP, rock them glasses, and add another to your haters list!

I told a customer that once. She reported me to my manager.

As a retail worker: not worth the effort. If you just do your job and ignore them, they're out of your life much sooner.

It was my last opening shift ever. I could not have cared less about crotchety customers that morning.

So? the doctor forced theese glases on you? you had no other choice?

The OP needs the doctor-prescribed glasses in order to see; they are not fake eyeglasses (non-corrective lenses set into the frames) just for fashion's sake, as the customer accused.

Well, you didn't have to pick ugly glasses. But, we like what we like. Since you have'em, rock 'em.

I think they look ridiculous even as prescriptions.

Thick framed hipster glasses worn as a fashion statement and prescription lenses aren't mutually exclusive. Just sayin'.
