Today, a person came into McDonald's, where I work. They ordered a Happy Meal. As they were an adult, I assumed the meal was for their child, who wasn't with them. When I asked if the toy was for a boy or a girl, they said the toy was for them. I still had to ask if it was for a boy or a girl. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to McDonald's and ordered a Happy Meal with a girl's toy. The high school girls behind the counter said I was too old to be served one, and I had to go home and explain to my sick daughter why she didn't get her toy. FML
Today, I was minding a 6-year old boy. He begged me to take him somewhere. I rang his mum, and she said I could. He picked to go to McDonald's. He ordered chicken. After his meal, he told me he was vegetarian, and wanted to try some meat while his mum wasn't around. I got the blame. FML
Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML
Today, I was at McDonald's and I was going through the drive-thru. As I was driving away, I checked my food and the lady had given me a Night at the Museum Happy Meal toy by mistake. I got so excited that I crashed the car into a pole. I'm 36. FML
Today, I ordered two double cheeseburgers from McDonald's and asked for one of them without pickles so they would think I was ordering for two people. Both burgers were for me. FML
Today, while at McDonald's, I saw an 8 year-old girl licking a life-size Ronald McDonald sitting on a bench. Being concerned, I told her mother, who then yelled at me for 10 minutes for being a "paedophile" and "being turned on by an 8 year-old girl." FML
Today, I was sitting in McDonald's. A lady came up to me and started complaining about the bad service, and asked for the manager. I told her that I didn't work there. "But you must, someone that fat has to work here!" FML
Today, my 18 year-old daughter comes home, telling me she has been fired from her job at McDonalds. The reason? They had iCarly Happy Meal toys and she couldn't resist stealing one. FML
Today, while I was working at McDonald's, a man and his wife ordered a Sundae. I gave the guy his sundae and realized I'd forgotten something. I said, "One second sir. Let me grab your nuts." I realized what I said when his wife gave me the death glare. FML
Today, while I was working at Chipotle, a teenage girl asked in all seriousness if she "could have a steak burrito, but with like, chicken instead?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hate how they always assume you want a certain kind of toy based on your gender. I may have been a little girl, but I wanted the toy car, not the toy barbie. And guess which one they always gave me. :(

yeah, I work at Mcdicks to, and I get those everynight since I work overnight. not only do they DEMAND a toy, after they order (in drive thru mind you) they drive off like idiots leaving you with a happy meal sitting there molding all night long. you have it easy my friend. Notice you are from ontario too. Ottawa, 4416 Innes Rd.

Why would they drive off? OP: I don't see how this is an FML. Oh no, you worked and gave someone a happy meal. How does that effect you negatively? Also, I thought they were done with the sexist toys years ago and got 1 set of toys for the kids. Since you had to ask again, you don't have to ask if THEY are a girl or boy. Just ask, "Do you want a girl's toy or a boy's toy?".

Wow even McDonald's toys are considered sexist now? People need to realize that something is only sexist if it isn't an OPTION for the "victim." They offer you both toys, a girl can get a boys' toy if she wants. That isn't sexist. And it's just ******* kids' toys.

It is an awfully embarassing place to be in, don't you think? Even if the OP had asked what toy the person wanted, the person could have taken it the wrong way and thought they were being insulted. So there really was no way out of that one.

I don't see how the OP should care? It's a stranger, not like it's someone who has any affect on their life or job

How is that insulting? Are you more pleased by a 12 cent hotwheels car or a 12 cent barbie?

Always get a girl the boy toy. I don't understand why they have to be gender-segregated in the first place.

I agree entirely, Lichen. This stupid gender shit should go out the window. I've met plenty of girls who like playing with cars, for instance, and several boys who've admitted they'd play with dolls at times if it wasn't a 'girl's toy'. Humans are humans, for crying out loud.

You can choose to get either..But there is a much better chance that a boy will want a hotwheels car and a girl will want a barbie..its not segregated people like different things..kids these days

i still get happy meals and as a student i even get a discount sad i know but when your a poor student you need some sort of entertainment

I don't see a problem here- just ask which toy they'd prefer.
perdix 31
I agree with Endymion that you didn't need to ask their gender directly, but I would have put it differently. I would have asked, "In your masturbatory, pedophile fantasies, do you victimize little boys or little girls?"

That's still fairly disambigous

what does that even mean?

That's just plain rude. Why can't people just want to get a toy? Why must people jump straight to sex? I guess that's because that's how YOU think. Being silly for a day is NOT the same as wanting to sleep with kids. Enjoy being a pedophile, 13 (wait, no, please don't)!

Male pedophiles can like boys and/or girls. Female pedophiles can like boys and/or girls. But BOTH can be entertained with a Barbie =)

This isn't your FML, it's his/her FML. "Today, I went to McDonalds and ordered a Happy Meal. The cashier thought it was for a child who wasn't with me, so she asked me if the kid was a boy or a girl, so she could put in the right toy. I said it was for me. Then she asked me if I was a boy or a girl. FML
