Today, I had to explain to a woman why she wasn't allowed to squeeze all the contents of the sample lotion bottle into her own bottle. She threw a fit, and dumped the whole bottle on my head. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at Bath and Body Works with a friend of mine. She wanted me to smell a particular lotion and when she brought it up to my nose, she squeezed the bottle and lotion went all over my face. Right after, a worker came by and commented how the lotion "got a little too excited". FML
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML
Today, I had to walk through the women's perfume section to get to my normal aftershave. A woman was trying out a perfume, which she squirted on herself and me. You can imagine the afternoon I had to endure after I got home to my wife and she could smell "some slut's scent" all over me. FML
Today, I got screamed at by a woman at work for feeding her 3-week-old infant formula instead of the bottled Kool-Aid that she packed. FML
Today, I wanted to top up my shower gel dispenser. After carefully squeezing the entire tube into the dispenser, I realized why it looked so white: I'd mixed the remaining shower gel with the entire tube of fancy, expensive, organic body lotion that my grandma had given me for Christmas. FML
Today, a customer yelled and cursed at me, splashing spittle in my face, and to top it all off she wished “my mom would die in a fire.” All this because I accidentally spilled her milkshake all over her Louis Vuitton handbag. Apparently, it “costs more than my rent.” FML
Today, I gave my sister some Lubriderm for a skin condition we share. While she was applying the lotion I joking said, "Wouldn't it be funny if it made it worse?" Guess who got punched in the face, twice, because it did. FML
Today, I was grumbling about how they apparently changed the recipe of my favorite lotion and made it all weird and sticky, when I realized that, no, what they actually did was design a bottle of shower cream that looks almost exactly LIKE that of my favorite lotion. FML
Today, not an hour after my girlfriend lectured me on boundaries and "my body, my rules", she threw an epic tantrum because I wouldn't let her pop a pimple on my ear. Apparently, only she gets to have boundaries. FML
Today, my grandma and I went shopping. When I picked up some shower gel, she started ranting in front of everyone that shower gel injures one's "lady parts" and causes infertility, and that she wants me to give her great-grandchildren. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That woman is a genius! Well, for having the idea, not the getting caught part.

I wonder how long she has been doing that for & in how many stores! Quite clever but silly at the same time :).

Ladies and moisturizer are a dangerous place to get between! Yikes.

it may just be me but, , , I think u might've been better with just leaving the issue alone all together

Why on earth would you leave the situation alone?

Well, I don't generally go throughout my day expecting that something negative is just waiting to happen to me. And I would think that most people don't generally think that another person is going to react in such a ridiculous manner to something as petty as this. Having said all of that, yea, I would have definitely done the exact same thing as the OP did in this situation. And I would have done it without expecting an immature temper-tantrum to be thrown at me along with the moisturizer. Also, periods, not commas, should be used to form ellipses…

Thank you for shopping at Walmart!

I would have probably slapped the stupid out of her if she had tried that with me. No one has the right to assault you no matter what your job is.

Why wasn't she allowed to? Is the limit on the amount of lotion that can be removed or where it can be placed directly after removal from the sample bottle, or perhaps something else? What exactly is (are) the limit(s)?

Because it's theft. The sample probably isn't allowed to leave the store or else people would just keep coming back for the sample bottles. She was trying to get lotion without paying for it.

How do you steal something that's free? I understand that it's there for samples for everyone and it's pretty damned rude to dump the samples into your own container, but theft? Next you'll be saying it's theft to take more than one sample from the Costco food people.
timelessone 16
Are you two serious? The entire point of sampling a product is so that multiple people can see if it's something they may or may not like. You're not going to keep sampling something you don't like in hopes that you will later. If you do like it then you buy it. Also if you have to ask if there's a limit then you simply have no manners.

It's not TECHNICALLY illegal is his point. It may not be right and it counts as theft in correlation to morals, but in the eyes of the law, it's a-okay.

It's sad that you had to tell a grown woman not to do that. Its called a 'sample' bottle for a reason. It is meant for samples, not to hoard its contents for free. This lady is crazy I hope you told her to leave immediately. Don't let it get your day down, you're awesome because most workers wouldn't correct other people's rude behavior

this seems like a thing that's bern showing a lot lately. The scenario no the lotion stealing. Author explains or tries to help someone and the person over reacts. this kinda reminds me of the one where the person hits the Author over the head with a purse.

Hmm…I'm not really sure why it would seem that way to you. I mean, it's not like this is FML and those are the scenarios that typically make an FML, right? Oh wait… And the authors of FMLs are referred to as OPs, meaning Original Posters.

There must be some pollutant in the atmosphere that the EPA missed that causes people to want to do inexplicably stupid things.

Unfortunately people like her are the same ones who will probably spawn way too many times.
