Today, in a convenience store, I asked a girl who wasn't wearing her mask and not keeping her distance to step away. After telling me to fuck off, she put her mask on, went to the teenage manager and said I was harassing her. Even after hearing my side of the story, I was asked to leave. Turns out it was his girlfriend. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML
Today, as I was working in retail, this guy shoved me into the shelves for asking if he needed help with anything, screaming at me that I need to leave him alone. FML
Today, a customer asked a question I couldn’t answer. I asked if she would wait while I consulted someone else, but she spat in my face and stormed off. My manager saw, wrote me up for refusing to help, and gave the woman a gift card for her troubles. FML
Today, while I was standing in line at the store, some guy insulted the girl in front of me as he walked past. She turned around and socked me in the face. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML
Today, while in a crowded store, someone tore my mask off my face and ran away. Then before I could run after them, I got stopped and screamed at for not wearing a mask. FML
Today, while I was out shopping, a fairly hideous-looking woman stormed up to me and accused me of ogling her, saying, "As if I'd ever date you!" Less than a minute later, she'd somehow managed to bully me into falsely admitting to it and apologizing. FML
Today, an old guy got nose to nose with me, threatened me, and spit in my face, just because I politely reminded him he needed to be wearing a mask. He had been coughing on multiple food items in my store. FML
Today, I asked one of the girls at work out on a date. She responded by filing a harassment complaint. Now, I can't speak to her at all without being written up. FML
Today, I got told repeatedly to "stay in my lane" by a woman in her 40s. Why? Because I politely asked her if she had a mask when she entered the retail store I work in. Our policy is that everyone must wear a face mask in the store at all times. One hour down, 8 more to go. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So go to his boss and let them know what happened, not saying a formal complaint is needed just a heads up to the bullshit.

It sounds like they didn’t ask them to put on a mask. All they asked was for that person to back up which is a perfectly reasonable request. They weren’t being nosey they were asking for personal space. I personally would do the same thing cause I don’t want people to close to me right now. The manager abused his power however for siding with his girlfriend.

That's what happens when you mess with the Power Elite. How were you to know that maskless idiot you confronted would have friends in high places?

Just mind your own business next time. You wore a mask, right?, no harm to you.

You do know how the masks work, right? Me wearing one protects YOU, not ME. So OP had every right to ask someone not wearing a mask to step away from her.

It is her business! If the girl won't wear a mask, she needs to keep her distance. Otherwise, the OP could catch covid from her, or maybe even STDs from the dirty ********.

Teenage love is a powerfully ignorant thing.

If you were wearing a mask, why didn't YOU just step away from her? The problem would have been solved without further incident. If it bothered you that much, why not talk to the owner or manager about the kids' behavior?
