Today, I got my tongue pierced, then went to a pet store. A clerk came up to ask if I needed help. I showed him I already had some fish, and said, "No thanks." He must have thought I was "special," as he bent down and in a baby voice, said "You got fishy? FISHY FISHY FISHY!" while poking the bag. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was working at a sushi restaurant, a guy told me he wanted the table next to the "koi fish tank", because he wanted to let the fish know what happens when they "cross him". FML
Today, as part of my job at a pet store, I helped our frat house president pick out goldfish for the new aquarium the big brothers are installing over summer break. And, once I'm initiated, I'll get to swallow one of the fish. FML
Today, I got my eyebrow pierced. By a fish hook. FML
Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML
Today, after applying for a job at the local pet store, I picked up a ferret. It began licking my cheek, causing me to turn my head. It then latched onto my ear and hung like a giant furry hoop earring. I screamed, then quietly left the building. FML
Today, I was at the fish store asking if they were hiring. My stepdad decided to humiliate me by screaming at them repeatedly that I'm a good person and that I deserve the job. FML
Today, I was working customer service at a large grocery store. I recently got a small, tasteful septum piercing that is barely visible. As I greeted a customer, she began to gag, held out her hand as though she was fending me off, and said, "I can't. Your nose ring makes me sick." FML
Today, I was walking to the pet store to buy a month's worth of fish food for my fish so I wouldn't have to come back for a while. For fish food it was expensive. It was also surprisingly heavy and I had to carry it back to my house. When I got home, I saw my fish floating at the top of its bowl. FML
Today, I was at my job where we buy precious metals. A man came in and said, "Here, I have something special for you." He then pulled a tooth out of his mouth that had dental gold on it and placed in it my bare hand. Yeah, special indeed. FML
Today, I went to the pet store to get mice for my mom's snakes. While checking out, the guy working behind the register asked what kind of snakes I had. I told him they were my mom's and he mentioned this crazy woman that talks to her snakes. That's my mom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow. That guy must have been really rude. You should have told him that you got a tounge piercing. Or maybe I would only tell him that. It depends cause I'm not shy so it wouldnt bother me to tell him. BUT ANYWAYS. It would be funny if you go back there when your used to having the tounge ring on your tounge and you talk correctly LOL. Go talk to him when it's Healed... ??

Except IF she was special then what he was doing would have been pretty nice of him because I know my first reaction would not be what his was. So it's not really rude.. But I agree with the rest of your comment.

23 or OP should've called the clerk stupid and then stuck their tongue at the clerk that way she can insult the clerk in a babyish way and showed him the problem. :D

41, what are you talking about? Even if the OP was "special," that was pretty rude. Don't talk to mentally retarded kids like they're babies.

Exactly, 56. Just because a person has a mental disability doesn't mean they don't deserve to be spoken to with respect and intelligence.

Not really sure what advice I could give in this situation. The clerk is an ass, but YDI for maiming yourself in a way that prevents you from normal communication. You're free to do whatever you want to your body, but you have to live with the consequences when you come off looking stupid.

It's normal to sound weird right after you get your tongue pierced. I had a lisp for the first month or so as my body was getting used to talking a little differently. When I changed my piercing and got one with a longer bar, the lisp returned for a while. Quit being so mean.

If I had a tongue piercing...and a dude asked Me if I needed help, I would flash him my toungue piercing and reply: " No...but I could probably help you (;" Then I'd wink and walk away. If people just did things the way I did, awkward situations would turn to opportunities ;D !
