Today, a homeless man bathed himself in the restroom at my coffee shop in West LA. He locked himself in there for a good twenty minutes. The lingering smell was so strong that my other coworker vomited. Thanks to what is apparently a relatively strong gag reflex, I got to clean up. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, a homeless man started to wet himself in the recliner at the coffee shop where I work. He then walked all the way to the bathroom, only to finish urinating in a puddle right in front of the bathroom door. Guess who cleaned it up. FML
Today I had a customer come into my office smelling like feces, urine and body odor. I tried not to get sick to my stomach but failed miserably. I threw up in my trash can in front of him. It now smells like feces, urine, body odor and vomit in here. FML
Today, in a public toilet, I got to experience a guy high out of his mind kicking in my locked stall door and puking all over me. FML
Today, I once again had to clean up a shower and bathroom covered in feces, because of client with incontinence. It smelt so bad that I couldn’t hide my reaction; the client saw my face and I could see the embarrassment on theirs. I spent the rest of the day feeling like an asshole. FML
Today, while I was working a customer notified me that the men's restroom need some attention. Thinking that there was just a small mess, I walked into the restroom only to discover someone had taken a crap in the sink. Guess who got to clean it. FML
Today, I came home to my front door open and a homeless man taking a 'bath' in my sink. If this wasn't bad enough, he refused to leave because 'finders keepers!' FML
Today, I was at work at a kiosk in the mall when I smelled something foul. I thought it was the weird dude who'd just walked by so I just carried on with my work. Minutes later, I looked to my right and there, lying on the floor a few feet from me, was a huge turd wrapped in toilet paper. FML
Today, I was working the night shift when a guy came in smelling like alcohol. He kept muttering his order, so I leaned over the register to hear him better. My ear now smells of vomit. FML
Today, my coworker friend told me she was going to the restroom. Soon after, I did the same. Once in the stall, I could smell a stench emanating from the next one. I yelled, "Ew, you stinky bitch" and sprayed air freshener under the partition. As I left the stall, my friend walked into the restroom. FML
Today, I spent an hour and twenty minutes throwing up at a toilet from a shopping mall because I ate rotten food without realizing it. At least during that time I made two new friends, a gay couple who were making out in the next toilet cubicle. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#4 and #5 you both obviously haven't had extended periods of time with the homeless. They gather around my university campus and do nothing but beg, yell, and grab random people for no reason. If you two are so high and mighty wishing this fate upon me because "I don't know their situation" why aren't you two out there personally helping the homeless? When was the last time you let a homeless dude into your house to bathe and gave him a meal? You're no different from everyone else who walks by them without a second glance, so stop pretending you're a better person by "sympathizing".

You think your life sucks, think about how the homeless guy must feel. He has to smell himself every day.

#39--so you want the employed, productive workers to do away with themselves and leave you with all the non-productive homeless to support? Good luck with that plan! :D

#5, I hope you get stuck in the OP's situation once so you know what it's like to deal with the smell. Where I'm from, they litter the streets. When there's a homeless guy begging for money every couple of blocks, with some of them peeing or even taking a dump on the street at times, it really gets on your nerves.

Some friends and I tried to help one homeless man being beat up by another over a fight about a heating vent to sleep on one night... We ended up being open-hand slapped once each by the angry feisty one, and were lucky he didn't have anything he could use to hurt us. It's very scary to realize you're not in control of an irrational person's behavior. Just saying, it was probably safer for the OP to let the guy go about his business in the bathroom without interruption, because there's a lot less risk of harm to them or their customers...

I agree with #22 and #30. Yes, that's contradicting, but I have a few reasons why. SOME people choose to be on the streets because of laziness (they didn't make the right choices, they didn't think ahead, they waited until it was too late, etc.). However, the one thing I DON'T agree with in post #30, is the alcohol and drug abuse. The mental illness, I get. The alcohol problems and drug abuse, if they chose to start using them themselves, is entirely their fault. I am very AWARE that they are diseases, but it's their own fault that they chose to drink alcohol on a daily basis, or to use [insert drug here] quite often. That is the only thing I do NOT agree with. #20 proves a point in saying that a lot of them didn't think about what they could do to fix the problems. I'm sure that there are some homeless people who were forced into the situation, but certainly not all of them.

Thank you so much for posting that, #30. That was excellent.

However, the people who are stuck to choose between abusive relationships, mental illness, or have had their house foreclosed, that is understandable. There are situations that force other people onto the street, and that isn't their fault. They are the people I can feel sympathy for and hope that at some point they get their life going in a better direction.
