Today, I realized that customers at my work ask me, "Are you new or just stupid?" just as often as they did when I first started. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I was helping a customer, she asked if it was my first day and who was training me. Evidently, I'm bad at my job, because I've worked there for 7 months. FML
Today, I got asked, “And you are…?” by a senior colleague while in a morning meeting at work. I’ve been working here for 3 months and I've already introduced myself multiple times to them. FML
Today, we were running a special at work that I had previously been told was an online-only special. After the general manager corrected me, I used the joke excuse of, "It's my first day". The customer replied, "I can tell". I've worked there two years and I'm the assistant manager. FML
Today, at work I put myself squarely in the lame / old people category when I foolishly asked out loud what FML meant. FML
Today, at work, I took a call from an angry customer. After listening to his problem and fully explaining how we could fix it, he called me a stupid girl and said I need more training as I obviously know nothing about my job. I'm the company training coordinator. FML
Today, a woman at the retirement home I work at told me she was new and asked me a few questions. I asked her when she moved in. She was a new coworker, not a new resident. FML
Today, after I've spent years cultivating my reputation at work as a hardass who's good to his team, as long as they're competent and own up to mistakes, my mother came as a customer and suddenly I'm a kid all over again. She even tried to pat my head and ask if I'm eating enough. Now my team all keep smirking at me. FML
Today, after my bosses excitedly told me I'm getting promoted to customer service at our grocery store, a customer called me an idiot in the parking lot for accidentally backing into the shopping cart she left in my blind spot. So it begins… FML
Today, I have been at my new job for almost a month and still have no idea what I'm doing. FML
Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think we have compiled enough data to say you're not new so....

There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

I want to say that #69's comment was a joke but...
skittle_QUEEN_YO 15
Gathering from the newly recieved data we have proof to confirm 68's hypothesis, the proof you may ask? 69. This information can help us better understand the world of the idiots.

It's possible that you just have rude customers, but just as likely that you're doing something wrong! Ask for advice from more experienced coworkers. It also wouldn't hurt to ask customers why they think that, they could have valid reasons. If you learn what you're doing wrong, you can easily better yourself.

I agree, if you're having problems ask a coworker or the boss to help you out. Just tell them you don't think you have enough of a solid grasp on it and that you want to try and work harder, no one will fault you for that. The longer this goes on though without getting help the more trouble you may get in if the boss finds out. The first thing the boss will say is "why didn't you ask for help?"

Not your fault op. They are just jerks! Some people don't learn as quickly as others and sometimes they may ask for something that you can't do. Just keep your head up!!
glabberfasted 16
No, I think OP is just stupid.
Brandi_Faith 34
While it may not be Op's fault that he doesn't understand what he is doing, it is Op's fault for not asking for help.

That sucks because you can't really say too much back without repercussions. I have to know why they keep saying this to determine if you deserve it or not.
