Today, I set my cup of coffee down on the stall floor to take care of my business. A hand reached under the stall door and took my coffee. I yelled to give it back, calling them obscene names. Moments later, my fresh coffee came flying over the door. I'm burned from my head to my legs. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, on my way out of a coffee shop, I tripped over a curb while holding a full cup of coffee. The coffee flew in slow motion, hitting a stranger right in the face. As I stood there, frozen, I realized the puddle of coffee was now surrounding both of us. All I could do was apologize while trying to avoid a public fistfight. FML
Today, I was walking out of Starbucks when I sneezed, causing coffee to burn my nose. I screamed, dropped it, and sent scorching coffee all over my legs, while dropping everything else I was holding. FML
Today, I heroically caught a falling cup of coffee that I'd knocked off the counter. I thought I'd saved the day, until I realized I didn’t actually grab the cup; I'd grabbed the hot coffee directly with my bare hand. I spent the next few seconds hopping around like a maniac while everyone in the office watched. FML
Today, a customer threw his cup of coffee at me screaming that it wasn't hot enough. Well, maybe it wasn't hot enough for him, but it was sure hot enough to burn me. FML
Today, I was drinking coffee out of my favorite mug, when it slipped out of my hand. I caught it, but not before most of the hot coffee spilled all over my lap. In reaction, I dropped the mug again, shattering it. FML
Today, I decided to have a hot cup of coffee. Then I stumbled on a chair and somehow spilled the hot liquid on my privates. The searing pain worked better to wake me up than the coffee itself. FML
Today, during a snowstorm, I opened my car door to get out. The wind snapped it wide open, then immediately changed course and swung it back at me just as I stepped out, spilling an entire hot cup of coffee all over me. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs while holding a cup of hot coffee. Now I have burns all over me and a twisted ankle. FML
Today, while working the drive-through, a woman ordered a large coffee with four creams. I handed her the coffee, and she took a sip. She then hurled it at me, screaming, "I said four creams, not five!" and sped off, leaving me drenched in hot coffee. FML
Today, I took the bus to work. I was exhausted and had a big mug of coffee. Half asleep and thinking I was in my car, I reached forward to put it in the "cup holder" during the ride. When I let go, I poured hot coffee not only all over myself, but also on the large, angry-looking man next to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ugh how unhygienic to take a drink into a toilet?! Yuck

Barge into the next stall and kick them in the groin, then call security. That was uncalled for to scald you

coffee isn't that expensive, you could've just bought another one

I think you missed the point. Having it stolen right in front of your eyes is bad enough... to then get it dumped on you and burned in the process is not something I would shrug off.

It's more of the 'what the ****' aspect of the situation that OP was talking to the person about I think
iiTzNeeNerz 26
Also, being a decent human being doesn't cost a thing. They could have not taken OP's coffee in the first place.

Dude, why would you put something that goes in your mouth on a stall floor?
whysobeachy 37
The bottom of the cup doesn't go into OP's mouth.

Would you buy a burger, wrapped in paper and put that on a stall floor? You don't eat the paper...
puppie406 23
You can put a burger in a purse or pocket, but you can't put a cup of coffee anywhere but the floor or a table without it spilling everywhere.

Maybe OP had some trouble and needed to hold onto something..

Anyone else think this is narsty to bring a consumable into a public bathroom stall?

Everything here is so wrong

I'm more concerned as to why they would take your coffee than why you would put it on the floor. What kind of monster steals toilet coffee?

Who takes a stranger's coffee from underneath a bathroom stall? Just how in the world is that even remotely sanitary?
mds9986 24
Taking it in with you and putting it on the floor isn't sanitary either.
Captaindead 3
Forget sanitary... How is tht sanity....

Careful what you ask for
Tripartita 45
Or else something entirely unrelated will happen.

I'd take the empty cup dip some toilet water out and throw it back over the stall and then run away really fast
Snaxia 12
I feel like both of you are at fault. There are just so many things wrong with this scenario.
hoosierholla 17
This is in no way op's fault.
FieldLeftBlank 20
OP's at fault for calling the other person "obscene names" right off the bat instead of taking a calmer approach first. Way to overreact.

Please tell me how you react to someone reaching under a stall while you are on the toilet and taking your coffee. Because apparently you guys are fully prepared for this to happen.

Why?! Bringing your coffee into the bathroom is just asking for trouble
katelng09 16
Not really...
