Today, I was working at the checkout of a nearly empty store, so I picked up an empty box, closed my eyes, and slow-danced with it to the 80s love ballad playing on the radio. I don't know what's worse, dancing with a box, or opening my eyes to see ten or so wary customers waiting to be served. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while at the bakery section of my local supermarket, I heard the beat of what I assumed was a song playing. I really got into it, and bobbed my head and danced a little. After getting some strange looks, I realized the "beat" was a machine mixing frosting. FML
Today, I was bored and all alone while cleaning at work. This led me to start passionately doing a ballet dance in the empty corridor. I promptly stopped as I remembered the surveillance cameras. FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to bust out some dance moves in the middle of the supermarket to embarrass my teenage daughter. As I was trying to the moonwalk, I slipped on a wet spot and crashed into a stack of cereal boxes. FML
Today, I was in my local supermarket's frozen aisle and I started doing a little dance of joy because my favorite ice cream was on sale. I turned around to see my ex and his new girlfriend watching me. FML
Today, at my retail job, I was trying to get a large amount of cardboard to the trash and had a short path to maneuver through displays and customers. As I'm coming down the aisle, a customer sees me and stops to look at a coffee cup display, directly in my path. FML
Today, I spent nearly an hour helping a customer pick out an engagement ring. I rang him up, picked out a super cute box for the ring, and wished him luck. Later I realized I never put the ring inside the box. FML
Today, I had a shift at my job at a grocery store that was full of rude and impatient customers. Someone dropped a bottle of wine and it shattered next to me. I found a half-eaten packet of sushi behind some magazines. The scale on another register broke. "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette played on the store radio at the end. FML
Today, I stayed late at the office to finish work and thought I was alone. I put on my headphones and started singing along to Sabrina Carpenter at full volume while filing paperwork. Halfway through, I turned around to see our cleaning staff staring at me. FML
Today, I went to the dentist; no one was in the waiting room so I danced around and mouthed songs that were on the radio. It wasn't till after I went to the counter and saw the receptionists laughing like a pack of hyenas that I realized there was a camera. FML
Today, as I was walking back inside I noticed my mop leaning on the wall next to my door. I picked it up and started slow dancing with it, imagining it was the girl I'm in love with. I didn't notice my neighbours bunched up at their window laughing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ah, the things we do when we think no one is watching.

Not sure why you would do that if there was still a chance people would still be shopping in the store.

I'm just wondering why OP felt the need to close her eyes...

Op kind of gave a new meaning to "dance like Nobody is watching"

Could have been worse... At least you weren't "making out" with the box while you danced...?? Or were you? /=S

Why not? OP had to entertain themselves by doing something.

You haven't worked in retail, have you?

There's been a few times that I've done an Irish jig while I thought nobody was in the store.

But closing your eyes though? Lol shouldn't have done that.

Hopefully you were at least a good dancer.

4 Pretty embarrassing? I'm gonna say that it was extremely embarrassing, yet hilarious at the same time. I'm wondering though, did you think he was your date? Possibly dance partner? Lol

As long as you didn't know the customers dancing with the box is worse. And how long we're you dancing to allow ten customers to line up?

That box was quite a gentleman.

Was this a guns and ammo store?

No, it was at a Walmart; she was dancing to "Is This Love" with an empty condoms box.

A near-empty Walmart?! Blasphemy! Show me this Walmart you speak of.
