Today, at work, a lady approached me asking if I'd found a used cloth diaper on a table, and I told her it was probably in the trash. She said "That's okay, I can wash it." So I searched through several bags of trash, and when I couldn't find it, she said "Oh never mind! It's in my bag." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, I went to fold a pair of pants that was left in a changing room to find out that someone had taken a dump in them. FML
Today, I was waitressing at work, when a woman decided to change her baby's nappy on a table. One moment I was asking her to leave, and the next, she was shoving a fully shat-out nappy into my hands. She asked me to get rid of it and fetch her baby wipes. FML
Today, at work, a woman decided to use the changing room as a public toilet, to wipe the urine with the clothes she tried on, then leave the mess along with her soiled underwear and a used maxi pad for me to clean up. FML
Today, I couldn't find my phone. Worried that I'd accidentally thrown it in the trash, I emptied out all the bins and searched the garbage. An hour later, my daughter said she'd found it by the bathroom sink. FML
Today, after putting a bag of dirty laundry in the laundry room to wait for an open washer, I came back to find a "free stuff" sign on all of my expensive jeans, new towels, and favorite sweatshirts. The bag was over half empty. FML
Today, at my hotel, I spent over an hour dumpster diving trying to locate a pair of shorts for a spoiled brat that one of the cleaning staff accidentally threw away. When I finally found and returned them to the family, the father insisted they weren't the right ones. Spent all day smelling of trash. FML
Today, I had to clean up human poop that someone trailed through the store. Then, as I was cleaning up all the shelves at the end of the day, I saw that someone had changed their sanitary pad, took a new one out of the packed and used it, then left the used one on the shelf. FML
Today, at work in a library, I found a dirty diaper stuffed under one of the public use computer desks. Not only was it leaking, but it had been run over several times by a rolling office chair. I had to clean it up. FML
Today, I was in a hurry to get to work and I put on yesterday's jeans. While at my meeting an employee asked me if 'that' was mine and pointed to something on the floor next to me. Which was yesterday's underwear. FML
Today, I went to drop the garbage in the compactor as I left to do some shopping. I quickly put my handbag down on the side, threw the 'garbage' in the machine, watched it do its thing, and then turned round to find... the bag of garbage on the side. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ew I would have told her to just get a new one.

Look on the bright side -- you didn't end up finding a used cloth diaper when you were looking through a bunch of trash.

I reckon she knew all along and felt like being an asshole today. People do that. To me, a lot

If you encounter one asshole, then you ran into an asshole. If you encounter multiple assholes, then you're probably the asshole.

I was waiting to see when this comment will take place. So far, I believe this is the farthest an fml that has to do with shit lasted without it... #15: a new record indeed.

Wow, your comment summoned DocBastard just to tell you to get out. I'm not even angry, that's amazing.

For all we know, she might've been extremely poor and cannot afford new diapers. I think the commenters should keep and open mind and not emphasize how "disgusting" this woman was.

I would think that if someone is so strapped they can't afford to replace one diaper they should keep up with it better.

That's sucks. Make sure to ask her before you look the the trash if she knows it is in the tradh

Couldn't this have been prevented by just giving her the trash bags and politely telling her that she could look through them to see if the diaper was in one of them? The way you worded that FML, it doesn't appear that she forced you to do the job yourself, and it wouldn't have been impolite or unexpected for a customer to go look for their lost possessions themselves.

I am in HR for a large company and if a customer said they left something and one of my employees had trashed it, they would be expected to find it. Throwing it away wouldn't have been wrong but we can't have customers going through our trash.

#56, I can understand this approach had it been a phone or jewelry perhaps but when a customer leaves waste behind or any other thing containing bodily fluids, then I do not think that it is ok to make the employee dig & search through trash for such an item. That's very unsanitary and disgusting.

Today, I lost my cloth diper and realised it had been thrown away. There were no adult sized ones left in the shop, so I had to retrieve this one. After a helpful customer offered to look though the bin, I realised it was in my bag. FML

Haha I hope this is written with nothing but sarcasm and mocking even

26, you do realize that the cloth diaper was for a baby and not the adult right? Hence the diaper bag.

Well at least you tried to help op might take a while to get rid of that smell though

I guess the diaper wasn't the only thing that was full of shit.
