Today, I slipped on a crayon a little girl threw on the floor, causing me to drop the tray of water I was carrying, making me spill it all over her. After getting cussed out by her mom, I was fired for making a customer unhappy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was called stupid by a customer, after I supposedly got his order wrong. He then threw his ice cream cone on the floor, tracked it around the store, and left. While I was cleaning it up, he came back and tripped me right into the mop water, spilling it everywhere. FML
Today, I tripped over a kid at work. She was sitting on the floor with her legs sticking out into the walkway. Her mom caused a scene, accusing me of doing it on purpose. FML
Today, at my new job waitressing, I walked into a glass door at full speed while carrying a tray of drinks. Not only did I spill everything, but I also left a weird make up face print on the glass for everyone to laugh at. FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, my coworker and I were written up after we dropped a glass table, which shattered and left us with big cuts on our hands and arms. We weren’t written up for breaking the piece, but because a nearby customer heard us both swear in pain and reported us. FML
Today, while babysitting my neighbors' kids, their oldest son used a paint pen on the carpet. The boy blamed me and I got fired. He's only 3 and can barely talk. FML
Today, I bumped my head on a tool box. When it happened, I yelled, "Fuck." I got fired from my job for cussing. FML
Today, at work a little girl wanted a slushie. Instead of pushing the tab in, she lifted it up and broke the machine, spilling slushie all over the floor. I was the only one working, so I had to clean it all up. I spent the rest of my shift covered in red slushie and smelling like cherry. FML
Today, as I was bagging groceries, I looked down to see a 6-year-old urinating on my shoes and the floor next to me. I told his mother that he should take her kid to the restroom, only to be told to "mind my own goddamn business." I was later fired for arguing with the customer. FML
Today, a kid got his hand stuck inside my store's giant gumball machine. He started crying, and his negligent trainwreck of a mom bitched me out for being "unobservant." I'd been mopping up the mess she'd made after she'd spilled an open can of beer all over the floor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like a shitty job anyways. You've got to do menial chores around spoiled rotten brats with their obnoxious, abusive, arrogant parents and are backed up by spineless, obsequious management. As with a cheating boyfriend, you can do better. Begging for small change under a bridge would be more dignified than working at that shithole with those shit people.

The customer is always right? Not this time.

Everyone trips on something at some point in their life, most of us trip on more than one thing at different times.

I made this account just for you. "The girl was 5 oldest" I am 15 and I still enjoy coloring. Even my 5 and 3 year old siblings enjoy it. In fact I don't know many people who don't.

49 I said she was 5 at the oldest and telling me your 3 year old sibling likes to color proves my point. Also you really made an account to answer me? That makes me very happy thank you.

I've seen people bring there kinds in to a bar before. They didn't stay long,nut the point is that children are everywhere, and there is no excaping them. Plus OP never said she didnt like or mind working with kids she was just upset that the mother cussed her out for absolutely no reason AND that she got fired for falling. Her boss should have more worried about an injured employee instead of a bitchy customer. And th mother shoud have known better and set a better example for her child. Also you don't **** with people who handle your food, you never know what the chould do. So what I am getting at is you are bitch who, apperently doesn't know how to read, and can't admit when she is wrong. Oh and by the way, I'm 18 and I still love to color especially at resturants.

I'm thinking the discarded crayon was intentional. The little bitch…

Well, if you got fired, might as well go out with bang. Cuss the girl and her bitch ass mom out.

Look at it as making more room in your life for a better job.

Why would you have a "tray of water" being used in a daycare...... UDI!! ok maybe not the fired and the yelling, but the fall perhaps
happyvocal 1
Where did it say that OP was working in a daycare? Sounds more like a restaurant.

Claim back pain from the fall, and request compensation(get an attorney of course).
