Today, an elderly gentleman customer decided to tell me that while I'm not attractive at all, he'd still bang me all the same. Then he gave me a pained smile, like he was struggling not to shit himself, and left. I'm starting to hate working retail. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I was standing in line at the checkout, the elderly guy in front turned around and said quietly to me, "Sometimes I shit my pants." He then nodded grimly and turned back around, hitting me with the full force of the stench now coming from his pants. FML
Today, out of habit, I said "See you later" to a creepy old male customer who stared at my chest the whole time I was serving him. His response was to wink and say, "Oh, you will." FML
Today, as I served an elderly man at the fast-food restaurant where I work, he leaned over the counter so that his face was mere inches from mine and asked me if I wanted to buy his car. When I politely told him I wasn't interested, he insisted on making a complaint about me to my manager. FML
Today, I was ringing an elderly gentleman up at work. As I went to package up the buns he ordered, he held up a hand and told me to wait. He then looked me in the eyes, started squeezing them, then winked and told me to go ahead. I've never felt so violated. FML
Today, I was cleaning at work when an elderly gentleman walked towards me, paused, and with a wink said, "That's what I like to see: a girl on her knees." This is the same workplace where another old man informed me that my yellow uniform made me look like a "suggestive cheesecake." FML
Today, I got to work feeling slightly unwell. A couple of hours later, an extremely attractive customer came to my till, at which point my body decided it would be a good idea to vomit last night's dinner all over myself and the customer. FML
Today, at work, I spent half an hour on the phone with a customer. At the end of the conversation, as he was putting down the phone, I heard him say 'God, he was a miserable git'. I'm a 28 year old woman. FML
Today, at work, I put on a smile and went to take an elderly gentleman's order. He looked at me, asked if I'd stick a finger in his sweet tea to make it sweeter, then complained that it was a shame I wasn't "on the menu". FML
Today, while working at my salon, I was cutting an older gentleman's hair. When he got up to leave, everyone noticed he had clearly pissed his pants. I felt bad for him until he laughed and said, "Here's your tip, have fun cleaning that up." FML
Today, at work at a grocery store an old couple came through my checkout lane. As I was putting their bagged groceries in the cart, the old man started feeling me up. FML

One time I was working at KFC and I said, "Hi what can I get you?" And he said "two chicken breasts please, preferably yours." Idiots.

Customer service in general is absolutely terrible. You do have those few nice people here and there but a lot of people are extremely offensive, rude, or treat you like you're not a person. I do not regret leaving that industry.

I feel like elderly men are just at the point in their lives where they lived it all and do not give a ****. Although I can't imagine my poppy saying anything remotely as inappropriate as this...

The thing with seniors is that they are really sweet and would just like to have a nice casual conversation or they will be a complete asshole there is no in between with them.

Some people have no grasp of respect. But I do agree working in retail is NOT easy.

Thats extremely unfortunate. Retail is shit (apparently in Norway as well), and people are just so disrespectful. If everyone had to work in retail and feel what it was like, I think they would think before being total dicks.

Hey, don't give it too much though. Sometimes the elderly just say things without giving it much thought. He probably didn't even mean it

That still doesn't excuse an unwanted sexual comment. They may have tendencies to say whatever crosses their mind but some comments cross the line.

Don't listen to him, you are pretty no matter what anyone else says.
