Today, I went to pick up some pictures I took on a family trip, but the person at the counter said someone else had already picked them up. Now not only am I out $20, some random creep has pictures of me and my whole family. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at a family reunion, we all squeezed in for a picture. I set the self-timer and ran to get in it. 2 seconds before the picture went off, some guy came up, stole the camera, and ran away. FML
Today, I went to my grandma's yard sale, only to find my baby pictures being sold for 25 cents each. FML
Today, I went for coffee with some people from work. I lined up to order behind a guy I'd only met a few times. When he paid, he dropped his wallet, and I saw that he had a picture of me cut from the company newsletter, enlarged, and taped inside his wallet. FML
Today, I saw a shady looking person on the street. As I walked past him, he said, "Hey, come here." Thinking he needed something, I went over. He handed me several pictures of my wife, in public and at home. I've never seen this man before in my life. FML
Today, I was using a Kodak Picture Maker in Walmart. I needed help using the machine so the lady that works there came over and tried to load my pictures. I heard some snickering behind me from the people in line. Turns out the pictures loaded. Even the nude ones I forgot about. FML
Today, a "friend" tried to sell me a digital camera that I recognized that was stolen from my home a week earlier, along with a few other things. FML
Today, I was taking a group shot with my friends when I asked a stranger to take the picture for us. He backed up and told us to squish closer together, and when he was at least 20 feet away, he turned and ran off with my camera. FML
Today, a teenage girl with a selfie stick came into my workplace. She knocked down multiple displays while trying to take pictures, before leaving without making a purchase. I had to clean it all up. FML
Today, I was walking when a man pointed a camera at me. I got bitchy about it, and said "Did I say you could take a picture?" He replied with, "No, but can you get the fuck out of the way so I can take one of my wife and kids?" I turned around, and they were right behind me. FML
Today, I asked a woman to take a picture of me and my girlfriend kissing on the beach. When I looked up, the woman and my phone were gone. FML

You can still get film developed?! Why not just use your phone? Some phones can take really good pictures now.

Why do you put the "?!" there? It doesn't make sense because it's like a shocked response to something which you didn't know before. My "tone of voice" in my head goes up a notch when I read the word "developed?!"

I manage the front end of a store that has one of those photo places. Only a few of us know how the Kodak thing works so I usually man it. Did you ask for a refund? I give people refunds for the stupidest reasons (they accidentally printed the wrong photos, etc.) whereas this is an actual reason.

That sucks, I hope you get your pictures back and it was all just a big misunderstanding

Op, I used to work at a photo center and that happens on occasion. They should be able to make you a new set and they should be free.

Uh no. Thats illegal? Pretty sure there is some law against taking someones property. And they shouldnt have given them to anyone but the person with the stub, which you should have had. Definitely complain to management either in person or on phone if they arent available. That is NOT ok.

It could have been an accident. Sometimes people accidentally take something that belongs to somebody else without even realizing it until later. I've picked up somebody else's pictures before and didn't notice until I was done running errands and back home several hours later. I got right back into my car and drove back to the store. It's not a big deal as long as it's returned to the owner
