Today, a customer threw his cup of coffee at me screaming that it wasn't hot enough. Well, maybe it wasn't hot enough for him, but it was sure hot enough to burn me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I set my cup of coffee down on the stall floor to take care of my business. A hand reached under the stall door and took my coffee. I yelled to give it back, calling them obscene names. Moments later, my fresh coffee came flying over the door. I'm burned from my head to my legs. FML
Today, a customer screamed at me, because her iced coffee tasted exactly like coffee, and she hates coffee. Sadly, this isn't even the most insane person I've had to deal with at this job. FML
Today, I spilt a very hot cup of tea all over a burn I got yesterday from spilling a very hot cup of tea. FML
Today, while taking to-go orders at my restaurant, a customer called saying he wanted his food well done. He even said, “Burn it to a crisp.” Which is what I told the kitchen. When he came to pick it up, he opened his food, inspected it and screamed, “Not this burned, you damn retard!” and threw it at me. FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to put a few extra spoonfuls of sugar in my co-worker's coffee. He thought it would be funny to throw the boiling hot coffee over my crotch. FML
Today, I was drinking coffee out of my favorite mug, when it slipped out of my hand. I caught it, but not before most of the hot coffee spilled all over my lap. In reaction, I dropped the mug again, shattering it. FML
Today, my boyfriend “accidentally” spilled a cup of hot tea on my lap at the dinner table. I had to get treated for second degree burns, because the skin on my lap was heavily saturated with the stuff. Apparently, he’s still mad at me for buying a male coworker a present for his birthday. FML
Today, while working the drive-through, a woman ordered a large coffee with four creams. I handed her the coffee, and she took a sip. She then hurled it at me, screaming, "I said four creams, not five!" and sped off, leaving me drenched in hot coffee. FML
Today, while pulling out of my work parking lot, I had a piping hot coffee tossed at me through my passenger window. I don't know if I was more amazed by this guy's exquisite aim or the fact that his coffee was so sweet I tasted the diabetes. FML
Today, while I was working at Starbucks, a customer dumped a hot chocolate on me and yelled, saying it wasn't his order. The order actually belonged to a 4-year-old boy with the same name, who started screaming when he didn't get his chocolate. FML

What a jerk. It isn't your fault, op. Had it been hotter, the asshole would have thrown it at you for that too. People like that just need to hurry up and die.

If there was damage to you or your property (burns), you could press charges. That's assault, he should be forbidden to come into the coffee shop where you work from now on. That'll show him to have a temper tantrum over a cup of coffee.

that is assault and battery with intent. The guy can be put up for criminal charges as well as the civil charge. Coffee can give second to third degree burns which are nasty(she would have needed skin grafts for that). She could not only be compensated for medical costs but for other damages. While i do not like law suits and think thy clog up the system. This could have needed up with serious damage.

Don't listen to the people who keep posting that you should throw coffee back at him, that would make you just as juvenile. Be an adult call the police, behavior like that shouldn't be tolerated in our society and he should be shown there are consequences to his actions. If he leaves before you call, have someone grab his license plate number. Every time he does something like this and isn't punished it just reinforces his behavior and ensures he will do it again.

I've gotta say, I've had stuff thrown at me during my job too, but damn, I would have actually screamed and lost it if a customer threw a hot drink at me. Definitely try and get that bastard back. What a complete asshole.
