Today, at work, a midget came in to buy beer. Not only was he almost as tall as me, he got offended when I had to card him and explain that the manager told me to card everyone, and that it wasn't because he was short. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got mugged by a midget. FML
Today, I got junk punched by a midget in Sears for giving him "a funny look." I was trying to read the price of the fridge he was standing in front of. FML
Today, I sold a customer some beer. He then asked to see the manager, and told me he was a 19 year-old undercover cop. My knee jerk reaction was to panic and curse aloud, before realizing he was balding, toothless, probably 50, certainly not a cop, and laughing at me for being such a gullible moron. FML
Today, I was cashier at work. The line came to a stop, but there was still people there. I kept saying next, but no one moved. I finally looked over the counter where there was a lady who had been standing there the whole time. She was a midget. FML
Today, I was in the supermarket when I saw a little boy trying to reach for something on the top shelf. I went over to him and asked if his mom knew where he was. The boy turned around. He was actually a very angry midget. FML
Today, my friends and I go to a bar and get wasted. I walk around and see a kid. I start yelling, "There's a child in this bar! There's a CHILD in this BAR!" She turns around. She was a midget. FML
Today, while working my job as a cashier, one of the customers to come to the register was a dwarf. As part of store policy, I had to ID him, and his driver's license said he was from Florida. So I asked, without catching myself, "How's the weather down there?" FML
Today, when I went to the gas station to buy beer, some underage punk outside asked me to buy him booze. I told him to get bent, but the dumbass cashier had seen me talking to him, and refused to let me buy alcohol because, "This is obviously a sting." FML
Today, I was fired for not asking a senior citizen for proof that he was over 21 and legally allowed to purchase alcohol. When I told my manager he was clearly over 21, he replied, "But what if he WASN'T?" FML
Today, at work, I bumped into what looked like a small child and said, "Sorry, little man". Turns out he actually was a little person. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Some people are just so used to being insulted that they don't think there's a reason behind your doing. Not your fault OP

Actually he had a short temper.

He didn't seem Happy, so I guess he was grumpy. Where were the other 6?

#37 I understand your attempt to reference another recent FML, but that comment is irrelevant.

Yeah, the midge was the one to rip out shotguns for being offended. For no reason, of course.

It always annoys me when people walk around with a chip on their shoulder like that though. You don't want to have assumptions made about you because of something you can't help? Then don't make assumptions about me when you don't even know me and I haven't done anything wrong. Just a pet peeve of mine.

He might grow out of his short temper.

It's kind of sad he'd assume that's the reason for him being IDed. Especially when 99% of stores ID everyone when buying alcohol.

#4 you the shit! Lol like he's never misspelled anything!

"It's not because you are short" probably wasn't the right thing to say!
sorryheadphones 26
In this situation you have to chose your words carefully. Commenting on someone's height, it not the correct response

It might not have been the best thing to say but anyone that would get upset at that is being stupid. Not all of us can be politically correct all the time, I don't even know half of the politically correct terms anymore because they change every year. As long as I haven't used a well known offensive term, try to assume that I'm not trying to offend you or hurt your feelings.

At least he wasn't short on cash!

Lol! It's ok OP I'm very short too! My cousin that is 7 years old is the same height as me!

Looks like his manners are in short supply.

I was actually thinking of Lord Farquaad in Shrek when I posted this. You know, when Shrek and Donkey are making jokes about his height? "Men of his stature are in short supply" and "Though there are those who think *little* of him!" Ah well. It was funny to me. :)

He should have no right to complain as long as the carding policy is displayed. I work at a retail store which cards everybody no matter how old they are, and nobody has complained about it. Just do your job, and call your supervisor if anybody argues about it.

Once I went to a bar with a friend the same age, she only stopped me.
