Today, I played a goth character in my friend's student film with goth clothes, lip ring, eyeliner, etc. We went into Starbucks at break and an elderly man came up to me and said "Your kind is the reason for all the bad stuff in this world" and then spat in my $5 drink. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML
Today, I was at Starbucks after having a rough day. The old man beside me was talking to his friend. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him point at me and say, "See that beautiful girl over there?" Flattered, I listened closer… until he finished his statement with, "She's gonna die." FML
Today, it was good fun getting a nice vampire make-up at my drama lesson. It would've been better if I hadn't forgotten my Demak'up. Even better if I could've avoided the crazy glances in the bus home. FML
Today, I had a theatre performance. I had to put on a lot of makeup for the role, and one of the guys said I looked nice. I smiled and said thanks. Seconds later, I'd been sucker-punched by his girlfriend for "flirting" with her man. FML
Today, I got a call from my friend who invited me to a theme party. It was a goth theme, and I decided to get real into it. I put on a trench coat, black skin tight pants, and black paint under the eyes. When I got there I was greeted by a kid in a pink popped collar. It wasn't a theme party. FML
Today, I was having a rough day, so I decided to go to the movies to unwind. 15 minutes in, some assmunch behind me said "This movie sucks!" then dumped his drink over my head and ran out. FML
Today, after already having a terrible day, I went to Starbucks for an espresso. Being nice, I put the last dollar I had in my wallet in their tip jar. While paying for my drink, my card was denied for insufficient funds. The world hates me. FML
Today, at work, I was making an appointment for an old lady who told me, "You look like a movie star!" I started to thank her when she followed up with, "Like that girl from the horror movie! Your black hair and pale skin makes you look scary! Oh, sorry…" with the coworker I hate the most sitting right next to me. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop with my friend. The guy rang her up and said it was only a dollar as he winked at her $10 purchase. Then he rang me up at completely full price. She got his number and I got to be the ugly friend once again. FML
Today, a guy came into the small coffee shop I work at, and got angry because I wouldn't accept his Starbucks gift card as valid payment. When I told him we clearly aren't a Starbucks, he said "It's all the same shit" and ended up throwing a punch at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No, the people who mind their own business aren't the reason for bad "stuff" in the world, it's the dickheads who feel they need to irritate the people who mind their own business.

Yeah I can make my own coffee for much less than Starbucks and it probably tastes better.

yeah but you can actually hang out at starbucks with friends and use wifi and stuff. not that you can't do that at home, but sometimes its nice to hangout at a place like starbucks. so while you're there you may as well get a drink.

Remember kiddies...... there are two types of old people: the nice ones and the bitter, twisted, evil old ones. I plan on being the latter, minus the spitting, spitting in uncouth!

I plan on pretending to be a sweet little old lady. Then I can act offended and sad when someone tries to accuse me for being anything but sweet and helpless. Hehehe.

You forgot the dirty old men that hit on women half their age.

That's simple. Throw it all over him, and tell him that paying for his old ass is the reason we can't get good healthcare in America.

I agree with it. Although its not social what he did is not social as well. I probably would have thrown it in his face.

I would have thrown the drink all over him and said "**** off, I'm not your mother." That you allowed him to walk away with no kind of retribution either makes you a far better person than I, or a doormat. I cannot decide. Either way, FYL.

its easy for everyone to sit here and say "i would have thrown it in his face" or some other retaliation... but i doubt most of you would have REALLY done that. i hear so often "I would have _______" when someone is telling a story... and you know damn well if they were in your position they wouldn't have ACTUALLY done what they said they would have. talk is cheap.

Wow. What a prick. I hope you punched him.

I don't believe he spat IN your drink. Starbucks drinks all come with lids.
Oncoming_Storm 0
Lids which a lot of people actually remove to customise and drink their drink, not everyone uses a straw or the little hole in the lid...

Maybe he was at that station where you can add nutmeg and coca and stuff?

Also do Starbuck's not use Ceramic mugs when you buy to drink in?

If you're staying there, some higher-end Starbucks will give you a mug or glass.

I suppose it's just how the generations differ :/ but there was no need to spit in your drink, that was uncalled for. Plus I think it's cynical people just like that who are the reason this world is so messed up. :( sorry that happened to you.
