Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after finally getting rid of an extremely rude, abusive customer, I muttered that I could kill people like her. I didn't know my manager had heard me, until a pair of police officers arrived. He'd reported me for "threatening to murder a customer". FML
Today, a customer at work made threats against me and my two-month old son. Instead of following policy by notifying the police, my manager apologized to him and told me to leave. FML
Today, my coworker got angry at a mean customer. She came to the back where I work and started punching the wall repeatedly. When I tried to intervene and stop her from breaking her hand, she punched me in the stomach and uppercut me. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I caught a customer taking pictures up my skirt, and my boss fired me for calling the police and "making a big deal out of it". FML
Today, I was fired for using violence and intimidation in the work place. I was a bouncer at a strip club. FML
Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML
Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML
Today, I briefly had the coolest boss in the world. He stormed over to a nasty customer who was giving me hell, and he absolutely laid into her. It lasted about 10 seconds before he collapsed from a major heart attack. A coworker's already blamed me for not pacifying the customer in the first place and causing all this to happen. FML
Today, I'm recovering from being pepper-sprayed, beat with a baton and Tased, and arrested for assault. I'm a bouncer and was trying to remove a drunk asshole from the bar when the police showed up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If the person is assaulting employees or other customers, they are no longer considered a customer.

You should have let the customer beat the shit out of your boss, lol. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that is wrongful termination since you were under assault. Sue your asswipe boss.

Sue your boss for wrongful termination, sue the customer for trying to beat the shit out of you. Use the works' CCTV as evidence. If they don't have CCTV sue the work for endangering their employees.

suing - the idiot's answer to everything

Don't sue. I bet your work (like most) has a policy of not fighting back and instead, calling the police. Also, assault is causing fear. Battery is attacking them.

While lawsuits have certainly been used extremely frivolously, many people and employers will do nothing unless a court orders them to. The vast majority of humans are not reasonable.

Right, suing is wrong in every single case. So even though you were wrongfully terminated, let it go because hey, who needs money and job security? And so what someone attacked you and probably even caused you some injury. You'll be able to pay the doctor bills with the money you're not getting from being fired from work. Great thinking #37.

OP is from the UK... Where we have the NHS, and we don't need to pay doctor's bills. See what you don't need to worry about with national healthcare?
PhillyFox 0
Wow! Do they pay your utility bills and provide food for you, too??? Didn't think so. The OP still needs money.

What the hell, the first post was a YDI? Dude, I hope someone comes up to you at work and smacks the shit out of you. DON'T FIGHT BACK THOUGH because apparently you think you shouldn't defend yourself from a customer attacking you. Really, get a lawyer. Sorry your boss is a jackass.

Yeah so you pay your insurance whenever you get a paycheck, buy something, or in any way move a pound from one pocket to another.

I agree whole-heartedly. The customer is not always right. In fact, there are many occurrences where the customer is very wrong and ends up making himself look like a complete asshole in the process. If I got fired for defending myself and other workers and customers, I'd probably try to get my boss sued. That's so ******* retarded.

#58, I was actually only responding to the part about doctor's bills in the post in front. Although, we have income support and job seeker's allowance to help with utilities and food. So yeah. They do need money. The state helps.

#78, in case you didn't realize it yet, we're responding to your comment about suing being solely for idiots when there are cases where it is obviously an understandable venture. Like when someone decides to beat the shit out of you.

You're completely right. Why do corporations these days allow their "customers" to literally beat up their employees and *still* cater to them no matter what? Selfdefense - sorry you lost your job. Maybe now you can find a better one in terms of pay and managers. :)

Sue for wrongful termination. Seriously it is against the law to fire you for that, infact the law gives you the right to not stand there and let a person smash your face in.

I like the way you think.

I think you mean "not wanting him to get the shit beat out of *by* us", right? Still this is a serious FML. Pursue this. Surely your store has security cameras.
