Today, I held the door open for an old lady, before realizing she was a teacher taking 20-plus kids to lunch at local burger joint, all of whom got in front of me in the line to order. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a woman yelled at me for holding a door open for her. FML
Today, while standing in line at a local Mexican fast food place, I was feeling generous and let a little kid behind me go in front. Turns out he had a list, and was ordering food for his whole family. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my food. FML
Today, I was leaving the grocery store when an old woman started yelling at me for not holding the door open for her. She accused me of being "everything wrong with the younger generation". It was an automatic door. FML
Today, I was going into an office building. There was a boy and a man ahead of me, and the boy held the door open for me. Surprised, I said, "What a nice young man," and he said, "It's OK, ma'am; my dad says to always hold the doors open for old ladies." I'm 43. FML
Today, I held a door open for a sweet old lady with a walker. After she went through the door, she turned and said, "That's not how you're gonna get into my pants, son." FML
Today, in between the passing times at school, one of my classmates opened the door to my next class, so I turned to tell him thank you. Apparently, he was opening it for the teacher who was leaving. I collided with her and her very hot cup of coffee. FML
Today, I placed an order at a fast food joint, when the elderly lady behind me cussed me out for ordering the same thing she wanted. She ranted that I was a "dirty thief", while everyone else glared at me as if I was holding up the line. What the fuck? FML
Today, I realised that I have been a teacher for far too long when I told a random stranger I saw at the mall to tie up their shoelaces. FML
Today, I held the door open for a woman and her kids on my way out of the bank. She started accusing me of patronizing her, and when I just let go of the door in protest, she deliberately leaned in so it hit her in the face. I felt the glares from the entire bank as she pretended to cry. FML
Today, I was at a store when I saw a cute girl from my school. Trying to act cool, I went to hold the door for her. Too bad it was an automatic door. FML

Wow, I thought the schools were cracking down on junk good in America.

I mean it's not like he had the option to cut off the kids halfway through.
ileenefudge 29
Just him holding the door open and letting them go first was a nice gesture though.
vikky538 29
you have to mention that 21 times...
Bigfabthetruth52 22
i would have just held the door for her and kept it moving. being polite is one thing letting people take advantage of your politeness is another.

Chivalry takes you a long way .... Long way to place your order.

Nice guys finish last

Well they apparently order last, at least.

I finished last--in your mom.

That's totally uncalled for #7.
Sports_guy3 28
(Tries to put two and two together) Well, maybe, nice guys finish ordering last.

Isn't it common courtesy to let the person get in line in front of you if they were ahead of you to begin with but stopped to hold the door? Whenever someone stops to hold the door for me, I let them get back in front of me. Especially if I'm in a large group.

I woulda then used the drive thru, if they had one
adamjcurryy 19
No saying that OP arrived by car, though.
cmchappy 25
Go through in a shopping cart then
SMHsohard 22
Just read a news story about a guy who was arrested for going through a drive-through on a bike, so doing it in a shopping cart most likely would end even less well.
Ashd09 30
I'm not sure about where y'all are at, but here in Georgia you can walk through any drive thru......
randomname98 22
My mom once went through a drive thru on her horse.
Clioo_fml 17
If we're talking about the same news story then it wasn't because he was on a bike, it was because he was intoxicated and acting violently.
keiNan_fml 35
you sir, did a good job.

No good deed goes unpunished.

She should've warned you out of common courtesy. Especially since you were nice enough to hold the door for her.

At least you've earned some good karma for this, OP. Maybe your next meal will be free or something.
kerstileann 26
Burger joints dont give out free food. Sure he did a good thing but im just saying, he isnt gonna get anything free.
Mauskau 36
You get free food if you go there just before they close. Well that's the case in fast food places? anyway.
slyde32 12
Sometimes they forget to charge you for something. i once got two burgers free from kfc, dunno how that happened, it was close to closing and I did offer to give the worker a lift home, maybe that's why
llalala_fml 19
#24 just a fair warning that restaurant workers more than likely despise people who come in just before close...especially of they're looking for free food
OysterPearls 33
I didn't mean that the burger joint would give him free food, I meant that one day he might have some good luck because of his good karma is all.
nevm 12
Please tell me you don't actually believe in karma
soulreaper12296 28
I think #9 means that OP might end up in one of those situations where someone in front of them pays for the food for like the next 10 people behind them.
jbombdighetty 11
at taco bell here they've given me free stuff all the time. never a whole meal though.
Jojohn0 23
He then found out they were out of food
brivielle 15
No good deed goes unpunished. (: No shit. #6 beat me to it.
nevm 12
If #6 beat you to it then why did you still post it?

It's called editing a post after the fact.
