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.

@everyone who said that being homeless is their fault, I personally know a family that is now on the streets, who used to be one of the most affluent families in the area. The dad got hit by a car crossing the street and was in the hospital in critical condition, he couldn't work. The mom got sick. Horribly sick. She couldn't work either. Their insurance dropped them. By the time the parents got better, they had lost absolutly everything. Couldn't find a job. My family and I took them in.

#16, you're a bitchy snob. Since when is helping out another HUMAN BEING a bad thing? Take your head out of your ass. I think you did a great thing for helping this man out. It must have been gross, but at least you can say you're a decent person.

Why would you think you could just kick someone out for being homeless? They have every right to be there- it's not owning property that guarantees rights, it's being a citizen, no matter how upstanding or not. This person locked himself in the bathroom, and if the OP does own the shop, don't you think it would be a little more important to concentrate on the other customers and continuing to operate the business than timing every scruff's potty break who wanders in to the bathroom? It's not as if the owner saw the man and offered bathing services via the restroom. After all, if the bum should have been kicked out for the sake of the other customers, I can only imagine that getting their beverage would still be their first priority. It sucks; I feel bad for the OP, because in all fairness, though a company does have the right to refuse service, the ensuing drama could have been a lot worse, especially considering the possibilities of why exactly this person is homeless.

that homeless guy got to take bath SOMEWHERE. Might as well in a BATHROOM. And it's your job to clean no matter who was in it.

Uhmm, very few homeless people are war vets too disturbed to find the help they need. Almost all of the "war vets" you see holding signs begging for change are draft dodgers that haven't worked since the sixties. On a side note, to believe they are mostly war vets you must be either hopelessly gullible or a brainwashed college drone.
