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 bet you wish "grandma got run over by a reindeer" right about now.

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

There's always next time? And after all she is family, you can't stay mad at her forever, though she should of behaved herself!

It's unfortunate that there was a lot of destruction in her presence, but remember to be thankful she was even there to support you.

Why the hell should he be grateful? She pretty much ****** up his day. Get off your soapbox.

I don't think #17 is on a soapbox here, maybe she just meant that it's the thought that counts?

We're all entitled to our own opinions and all but dude, chill out!

43- Yes, that's exactly what I ment! Besides, the comment section is filled with people voicing their opinions. If that other guy has an issue with people voicing their opinions, then maybe he shouldn't read the comments anymore. No need to get his pennies in a twist about what another person says. In my opinion, of course :p

At least you aren't a potter or glass blower. Btw, I think I'm at the same show.

You sound like a complete asshole and I bet you treated her like shit for her mistakes. **** you.

So, basically, Grandma messed up the OP's chance at selling their crafts, and possibly caused them to loose money on their booth deposit, and you're calling them an 'asshole' for being angry? Even if it was by accident, I think the OP has suitable grounds to be annoyed.

What the **** is your problem? Go **** yourself.

What is your problem? If anything granny would have deserved it.
