Today, I was at work and was confronted by a customer wanting to get a "Nemo" fish. I explained that 'Nemo' needs to live in saltwater, not freshwater, like their tank was. The customer then turns around and grabs a perforated tank divider and says, "Can't I just split them up with this?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while I was working at a sushi restaurant, a guy told me he wanted the table next to the "koi fish tank", because he wanted to let the fish know what happens when they "cross him". FML
Today, I got my tongue pierced, then went to a pet store. A clerk came up to ask if I needed help. I showed him I already had some fish, and said, "No thanks." He must have thought I was "special," as he bent down and in a baby voice, said "You got fishy? FISHY FISHY FISHY!" while poking the bag. FML
Today, as I was washing my boyfriend's fishbowl, the fish did a Nemo and made an unholy leap down the drain. My immediate impulse was to flip the switch. Our kitchen now smells like mutilated fish and my boyfriend won't speak to me. FML
Today, I excitedly showed my new roommate my pet fish. She then told me about how she purposely starved her last fish to see how long it would take before they started eating each other before starving to death. FML
Today, a man asked about fishing in the river that flows beside where I work. I said you could, but anything you caught under 5 inches has to be thrown back. His wife then said, "Wish I knew that before I married him." I started to laugh. The man almost cried and complained to my boss. FML
Today, my dad decided to clean my 20 gallon fish tank. I had 6 fish. One of them was called a transparent fish, clear with a bright orange tail, which was my favorite. My dad didn't see it, and dumped the water out along with it. FML
Today, I was verbally abused by a customer because her entrée was too fishy. I'm not the chef, just the waiter, and I work at a fish grill. FML
Today, I let my 3-year-old daughter watch Finding Nemo on my phone while I made her lunch. I returned to find she had dropped my phone into the fish bowl so that her goldfish could see his friends. FML
Today, I found out why you shouldn't drop instant mashed potatoes in a fish tank, especially when you have expensive fish. FML
Today, I bought a fish. I put the tank on top of the fridge so my cat wouldn't get at it. I'd forgotten to buy some things for its tank, so I quickly ran out to get them. When I got home, I saw the tank destroyed on the floor, and my cat devouring my fish. I had the fish for less than an hour. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What's not to get? A perforated tank divider is a fish tank divider with holes in it, thus defeating the purpose of separating different kinds of water. They're used to separate fish that would usually fight each other. Since water molecules are obviously a lot smaller than fish, they would get through the holes. Personally, I wouldn't want to sell anyone an animal if they didn't know the name of it. I think there's actually something that says pet store employees can refuse selling an animal if the person wanting to make a purchase seems incompetent enough, because it would result in the death of the pet.

if something is perforated it has holes in it, thus defeating the purpose of dividing water as water can/will travel through said perforations. ~

Not a logical question, but valid yes... These are the kinds of questions you have to deal with when you work at a fish store, people are generally uneducated on your subject of expertise, or in general ...seriously, it's not really an FML, it's a REO (random everyday occurrence)

way to go number 9!! holy s ur the only conceivable dipsht capable of understanding perforation, except by muscle memory( ie all ur stinkin credit card applications). btw kiss all are asses fur explaining dotts separated by paper, wow rnt u cool. im 12 and i dont even.
FFML_314 12
What?

If you want a salt water and fresh water, you realy need two seperate tanks. it's pobably more or less impossible to make a tank both. Something tells me that if they still call Clownfish 'Nemo' then they wouldn't even know how to look after the £40+ fish anyway.

I completely agree with #17, and thank your clarification.

Your right. Pet store employees can reuse sale. I work at PetSmart and have refused the sale for fish countless times. Due to either the tank being to small, to many fish in the tank, the animals being used for food or if the water in the tank can not support the fish (if they brought the water into be tested at the same time) That being said I found this hillarious! but not a FML.
TheZarola 10
"Being used for food" is a stupid reason to refuse. Some animals eat other animals. If you don't let customers buy the animals for food, how are certain pets supposed to get food? Ass.

how do I not get that, the divider is perforated, meaning the water would mix and defeat the purpose for which the customer would be using it for.

The word "perforated" essentially means something has a small hole or a series of holes in it.

some girls with huge boobs only have brains the size of a peanut. hence, they do not understand this simple FML. I wonder, if we asked them what is (4x5) - (4x4) they would be like " uhm.. *******??"
