Today, after I explained to my waitress that I have an allergy to butter, she nonetheless put some on my baked potato. When I had her get me another, without butter, she came back with one and then asked if I would like butter with it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while waiting tables, I watched a woman pull the bacon off her roast beef melt and eat it. She then called me over and spent several minutes complaining about the our chefs' inadequacy because they didn't put bacon on her sandwich. FML
Today, a customer had an allergic reaction to the almonds in the sundae I made for her. We're supposed to put the almonds on unless the customer asks otherwise. She complained to my boss that I'd poisoned her. FML
Today, I had a violent allergic reaction to some bread I ate at a restaurant. How did they apologize? By sending me a free basket of bread. FML
Today, at my work in a self-service chinese restaurant, a lady came up to me, pointed to the plate she loaded with honey king prawns, and yelled at me because she was allergic to seafood. She demanded a refund and another plate. Everything is clearly labeled. FML
Today, I spent a good deal of my afternoon preparing a nice dinner for my girlfriend. When I finally served the meal, I proudly presented her with a beautifully arranged plate of salmon. She looked at it and said, “You know I’m allergic to fish, right?” We had cereal for dinner instead. FML
Today, I was on a blind date with a girl my friend set me up with. We went to a fancy restaurant and she ordered the shrimp. I told her, "I'm allergic to shrimp, so you shouldn't order it in case I want to kiss you later." She looked at the waiter and said, "I'll have the shrimp." FML
Today, a woman threw a sandwich at me, told me to go back to "fucktard island" and demanded to see my manager. All because the mayonnaise sandwich she ordered, shockingly enough, had mayonnaise in it. FML
Today, while working, a woman complained that she didn't ask for sauce on her sandwich. After examining the sandwich, I realized it was just melted cheese. When I told her, she threw the sandwich at me. FML
Today, at work a customer bitched me out for not explicitly telling her that our peanut butter pancakes contain real peanut butter. She's threatening to sue because she's allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, I got a client who ordered ice cream. She seemed really nice and I thought maybe she was into me. When I asked if she wanted peanuts for an additional 50 cents, she said no. Trying to be nice, I added them anyway free of charge. I later had to call the ambulance. She was allergic. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

some people are a bit thick headed.

It was probably just a mechanical response. When you deal with customer service it tends to happen.

10 were you trying to be funny because it's not working.

#50 - You must be a tad thick to consider waitressing a "career choice" on anyone's part, regardless of their capacity. On top of that, you seem repulsively judgemental.

#59: Aye, I'm aware there's a reply button. The FML mobile site often has issues when it comes to using the reply function. No, your original comment did not single out "the idiots." You berated the waitress in the FML over something that could've been nothing more than an impulsive mistake or a simple miscommunication, then went on to paint waitressing jobs as something mostly only idiots or unsuccessful people fall back on — alas, with nothing more than your own unfortunate experiences with servers as your reasoning. Besides, waiting tables doesn't seem to be something for the absent-minded. Taking multiple orders at once in a busy restaurant, having to keep constant track of them all from place to place, staying on your feet for practically the entire day and being forced to deal with ignorant, supercilious customers in a polite fashion is bound to have someone slip up from time to time. Perhaps if you displayed more understanding and patience in your requests, you would encounter less of such incidents. #68: Was I "trying to have" a literate sentence? Your comment speaks for itself, as it does your comprehension skills.

maybe they **** your order up cause you're a ****. that could be it. you talk to them like they're ******* stupid and beneath you, yeah I'd **** your order up to. and here's a thought if they keep messing your food up HEY there's this wonderful thing called cooking for yourself. its great. you should try it sometime.

You are not judgmental at all. Maybe she likes being a waitress (it was one of my favorite jobs), maybe she is doing it while in school, maybe she already has a degree and cannot find a better job, or maybe you should not be such a condescending bitch toward someone's career.

Sometimes shit happens, scrape the top of the potato off. If your allergy is that bad , you better hope they don't use butter in cooking anything else. No matter what be nice to the people who bring your food, they can jack your day in a hurry if they want.

Took the words right out of my mouth there 65 I hate judgmental assholes I am a waitress I have a degree I just can't find a job in my field at the moment as for op these things happen she probably had a lot on her mind at the time

Op said they don't want butter on the potato, just don't put butter on the damn potato. You don't have to analyze and give a reason. It's very simple OP did NOT want butter.

You should stop now, #10. You're talking to yourself now
