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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, while working as a barista, a customer asked me for "gluten free milk". When I told her that most milk is gluten free, she flew into a fit of rage and cussed me out for being a "cheeky bitch". My manager then lectured me about not being "patronising" to customers. 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, my friend took our prank war too far when he secretly added peanuts to my food. I have a peanut allergy. FML
Today, I had a serious allergic reaction to the food I ate at a Chinese restaurant that supposedly didn't contain peanuts. According to my waitress, peanut oil "doesn't count". FML
Today, I had an asthma attack. I grabbed my inhaler and found peanut butter on it. I'm extremely allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, my dad yelled at me for buying chunky peanut butter. He wanted smooth. Apparently he's "allergic to peanuts." I had to explain to him why his argument made no sense. FML
Today, I had to go to the ER because of a terrible allergic reaction I had to the cookies my "friend" made for me. She assured me several times that there were no nuts in them. Turns out, she put nuts in them on purpose, to see whether or not I was really allergic. FML
Today, I found out that my wife purposely eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to get out of kissing me. I'm deathly allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, I decided it would be funny to give my friend a peanut that had fallen on the floor. I hid it in his food, and started laughing when he ate it. It turns out he is allergic to peanuts. His family hates me now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

People with food allergies usually are very adamant about finding out what is in their food before they order it. Sounds like this lady was just looking for a way to get something free out of the restaurant. I hope you didn't get in trouble.

This kind of person is why there are idiotic warnings on things like "Caution! This coffee is hot". I'm pretty sure a lady sued McDonald's when her coffee spilled on her because she "didn't expect the coffee to be hot" or some shit.

Yeah, I remember that case, she even won lots of money in that suit. On the other hand, it's not like she got rich or anything, she spent the money on medical bills treating her serious burns, so in the end I'm sorry for her, but still I don't think it was McDonald's fault that she couldn't figure out coffee is sold hot and you shouldn't hold a hot beverage in your lap while driving.

I had to do research on that case for school not long ago... yes, it's stipid, but not as much so as it seems. Yes, coffee is hot. That's a given. But restaurants also have temperatures that coffee is to be served at, and this cup was well over the max temperature. She was wearing sweats and her son was driving. When the coffee spilled her pants soaked it up and held it against her causing severe burns before she was able to get them off. Had the coffee been served at the appropriate temperature the burns she received would have been substantially less severe. So McDonalds was technically in the wrong, which is why she won so much money from them.

Actually #35 is right. I always thought this was a stupid case too—of course coffee is served hot enough to burn—until I actually read about the details of the case. McDonalds was very clearly in the wrong. They heated the coffee to well past safe consumable levels, over 40° F more than other restaurants and home-brewed coffee. This 79 year old woman also wasn't the first of their customers to suffer 3rd degree burns from their coffee, she was just the first to have to sue them openly for medical cost assistance (McDonalds offered her $800 to go away). They were willfully heating their coffee to 180°-190° to ensure that their low-quality-bean coffee wasn't discernibly bad tasting. They claimed people didn't drink their too-hot coffee until they were at their destination, which their own research showed to be false. All-in-all, McDonalds was pretty obviously at fault.

To add to what #37 said, the warning on McDonald's (and I guess anyone else's) coffee means that it doesn't matter if they're still breaking regulation and brewing their coffee above the accepted degrees. If you get burned, you won't get a dime from them. That "stupid" label is their way of covering their ass if it happens again.

I heard that there actually was a warning label on the cup she was given, but apparently, it was "too small" for anyone to notice.

What did she expect from a peanut butter pancake?

Should have called 911 and had the medics come to check her out. Sure she would have refused since it's obvious she's trying to scam your business. You come out looking good. She goes away looking like a ass. Priceless!

Never would have thought of this, but you're absolutely right -- call her on it! :D
