Today, at the bank, my 8-year-old son decided to pull out realistic looking toy gun, and scream "FREEZE! Give me all your money!" The dim-witted bank teller pressed the silent alarm, and I was nearly arrested. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 17-year-old son attempted to rob the bank I work at while I was off shift. FML
Today, as I walked into the bank, I tripped and bumped into a security guard. He thought I was assaulting him, so he pinned me to the floor and called for backup as he held me at gunpoint. FML
Today, I took my 4 year-old son to the bank with me. He asked why we were going, and I explained that I had a couple of checks that they would turn into money. When we got in line, he loudly exclaimed, "Mommy has checks for money!" Except "checks" sounded almost exactly like "sex." FML
Today, I went to my local bank after getting an email from them concerning unknown purchases. Four hours later, I was still in police custody. Someone had been using my account to purchase guns and drugs. FML
Today, my 6-year-old son was so angry at me for not buying him overpriced candy at the airport that he told a security guard I had a machine gun in my suitcase. The interrogation was not pleasant. FML
Today, I got to see my son's dream of being on television come true. Unfortunately, it was because he'd been arrested for trying to rob a bank. FML
Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML
Today, I went to withdraw 200 dollars. At the ATM, I noticed a suspicious man standing really close to me. I was nervous about entering my pin number, and worried he was looking at my account information. In my panic, I got all the way home before realizing that I'd left the cash in the machine. FML
Today, my son is so pathetic that when a tiny, unarmed 5-foot tall female thief robbed our store, he didn’t grab the baseball bat, he didn’t slam the anti-theft door on the counter closed, he didn’t even press the big alarm button, he just started crying, put his hands up, and let her empty the till. FML
Today, at the bank, I went to get some coffee from their machine. I gave it my money and pressed the buttons but nothing was happening. After banging on the machine for ten minutes and calling a teller over, a little boy reached up on his tippy toes to press the giant green START button for me. FML

I can see a very good life coming from this kid. Maybe not a legal one, but a rich one none the less.

Why did you allow your son to bring a gun- even a fake- into a bank in the first place?

Why would you buy an 8 year old such a realistic looking gun in the first place?

Maybe you should buy him those ugly neon colored guns instead of the realistic ones

What a hard ass! Why is your kid allowed to walk into a bank with a realistic gun?

Several things wrong here. First, why did you buy your son such a realistic-looking gun? Second, why did he take it with him into a bank? Third, why do parents not watch their kids these days? Maybe if you'd be more of a parent, your kid would have a better grasp of right and wrong. That teller wasn't dim-witted. The way kids are these days, it wouldn't be impossible for this to have been a real danger. You're the dim-witted one for not being a parent. YDI

Honestly YDI. You should be aware of which toys your child carries with him. As things are today, your child shouldn't be carrying a toy gun or a toy knife. I hope you sat down to talk with your kid about the situation, and set some rules as to what is right and what is wrong to do and/or ground him, whichever suits you best.

No you are an idiot for letting your son bring a realistic toy gun into the bank in the first place.

Really? You let your son walk into a bank with a toy guy and the teller is the dim wit?

She didn't necessarily know that her son had the toy gun in the first place. I don't think she deserved it. Nobody is really at fault here, but your life doesn't suck either.

After what happened today, I have no sympathy for you. Anyone would have acted the same upon seeing even a toy gun. Maybe we're all a little irrationally gun-shy (no pun intended) after the events in Aurora, CO, but still.

I wouldn't necessarily say you deserved it because it was your 8 year old son that caused the incident, but what did you expect the teller to do??
