Today, I had a booth at a very expensive craft show. My grandma came to show her support. While there, she managed to knock over my display, get in the way of potential buyers and take down a rather old lady when she supposedly stumbled. This all happened in the first five minutes she was there. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I spent an hour setting up a delicate display stand at work. Not five minutes later, a woman barged in with her little kid, who immediately went up to the display and tipped the whole thing over. When I called attention to the mother, she just scoffed, "Isn't this your job?" and left. FML
Today, I stood too fast, got dizzy, and fell over. I fell on the grandmother of the bride, pushing her into the wedding cake table. Cake ruined, grandmother in hospital for a broken arm, and everybody mad at me. FML
Today, while bringing my grandmother some water, I tripped, dropping and shattering the glass. Infuriated, she explained to me that the glass was worth more than I am and ordered me out of her house for good. I live there. I was also with her when she bought the glass. $10 for a set of 4. FML
Today, while I selling merch at a festival, a volunteer lost her toenail. Not only did she immediately show me, but she then took a picture and showed everyone coming up to my station. I lost sales because she wouldn't leave. FML
Today, as I turned to face the cashier at the supermarket, I managed to knock over an entire display of gift cards with my backpack. FML
Today, I enjoyed a lovely family dinner, but my irritating grandma kept trying to buy my purse off me, and kept picking it up to look at it. When I got home I realized all my cash and cigarettes were gone. FML
Today, I was serving an incredibly rude woman at work. The ladder I had used to get her two pairs of shoes came crashing down, and hit my face and neck. She only bought one pair, and ten minutes later returned them after, complaining they were too expensive. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I was in a fancy department store. I was wearing my travel backpack. I was turning around after paying at the checkout and my backpack hit a metre-tall display covered with necklaces. It went crashing to the floor, hitting another display table laden with jewelry that collapsed under it. FML
Today, I was walking down the street on my way to work, when an old lady's walking stick caught my leg and sent me crashing to the ground. She apologised for the accident and watched me stumble to my feet. I said not to worry. Just as I turned to leave, I could swear a smirk crept over her face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I guess she didn't tell you that she had a competing booth at the other side of the show. That's pure sabotage. Grandma: 1 You: 0

#1- that's what next years sculpture is going to be of, either grandma will get the hint, or it will get sold for a lot, because let's face it, art is just...yeah that's about it...anything you ******* want it to be. Guess that's the beauty of it, but also the part that confounds me the most.

"supposedly" translated to English, she did it on purpose to ruin your chances?

Hence why it says "supposedly"...

Hmm, if only it would work with punctuation. 18 your post seems to be lacking. ;)

Haha damn, I didn't know that this many airheads cared about grammar this much.

36) You're only an airhead if you correct people on their grammar, and your grammar isn't any better.

Haha so you're saying you are an airhead?

Ahh, you caught me. I noticed too late to edit it.

Wait. Are you allowed to begin a sentence with a number? Shouldn't it be 'Eighteen'? Or is it appropriate in this context? I mean, since we want to get all technical...

Hopefully she will leave so you can get some real work done! Good luck fixing things at your booth, OP!

Grab grannys cane and problem solved OP.
Lionesse 15
Aww. Sorry OP that you lost potential buyers but think about it this way, at least she came and tried to show you support. Some Grandmothers don't do that, and the ones that do, we take for granted and don't appreciate them until they aren't with us anymore.

This was my first thought too. It was nice of her to come and support you and, even though you write "supposedly", is it really that likely that she set out to ruin your chances of selling things? Maybe she actually did just trip and grab the other lady. When I fall, I instinctively reach out to find something to hold me up too. Not usually people, but still.

You're drunk grandma go home
