Today, I was cashier at work. The line came to a stop, but there was still people there. I kept saying next, but no one moved. I finally looked over the counter where there was a lady who had been standing there the whole time. She was a midget. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at work handling the cash register. It wasn't working correctly, so I apologized to the woman I was waiting on for the delay and explained, "The cash register's being a little retarded today." Then I noticed her clearly "special" adult son standing behind her. FML
Today, while checking out at Target, I had the choice of standing behind one lady or a long line. Naturally, I chose the former. Half an hour later, the long line had completely passed, and I was still standing behind the lady, who was now arguing with the cashier. FML
Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML
Today, at work, a midget came in to buy beer. Not only was he almost as tall as me, he got offended when I had to card him and explain that the manager told me to card everyone, and that it wasn't because he was short. FML
Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML
Today, I was in the supermarket when I saw a little boy trying to reach for something on the top shelf. I went over to him and asked if his mom knew where he was. The boy turned around. He was actually a very angry midget. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I saw my crush working the only open till at the grocery store. When she saw me approach her queue, she immediately called for more cashiers. FML
Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. FML
Today, I waved at a baby while standing in line in a store. It started screaming. Its mom looked over in mild concern and gave me a disturbed glare before moving to the next checkout counter over. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

there were* people Anyway, OP, you should start looking down to check for anyone there. Good thing your boss didn't see.

I had a similar incident recently but it was with a deaf person. It took me way too long to realise that they were deaf... I thought that their quiet speech was due to being shy and mumbling. I felt very embarrassed to say the least. As for the midget/little person, being small doesn't mean you can't talk (unless you have the misfortune of being small AND mute).. Say "oi, I'm down here!"

not really, how could her boss write her up when no one in line or the midget said anything?

Shouldn't she have spoken up and said, "We represent the Lollipop Guild" or "Ding, dong, the witch is dead?" Maybe that's why they didn't have grocery stores in Munchkinland.

even better look what i found: Today, I was in a cashier's line. As I moved up to the counter, he began to call for the next person in line. I was there the whole time but he couldn't see me. I'm a midget. FML.

The politically correct term is 'little people', asshole. They find the label 'midget' dated and offensive.

I dated a "little person" once. Her name was Bridget.

I wonder how long it will be until "little person" will be considered politically incorrect.

27, I'm below the average height and so sir I have the right to be offended by your comment. 'Little people' indeed! >:(

Well 'midget' and 'dwarf' are medical terms for different forms or height-deficiency. It should be no more offensive than calling a blind person blind.

I'm agreeing with this guy....**** PC!

#70 : Midget is NOT a medical term and #85 its offensive because average height people decided to use it in a derogatory way.... It's no different than call a gay person the f word or a black person the n word And to the OP, don't feel too bad, its probably happened to her before but next time, I wouldn't call her a midget

Some people consider Richard Pryor dated and offensive. Personally I think he's hilarious. Almost as funny as a midget falling down stairs.
