Today, I was working behind the bar at a club. After serving drinks to a guy, he asked me if I could carry them outside to the two girls waiting for him. I scowled at him and told him I wasn't a waitress. That's when I realised he had one arm. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw a drunk guy hitting on a girl sitting alone at the bar. She insisted that her boyfriend was there, but he didn't relent. So I went over and put my arm around her and asked "Who's this guy?" He walked away, but then I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was her boyfriend. He broke my arm. FML
Today, it was my first day working as a nightclub bartender. All through the evening, a really creepy bloke stood in a dark corner and leered at the girls on the dance floor. When I took the bouncer to one side to let him know, he told me the man was a coat stand. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant where the host is an attractive guy with only one arm. I was with my family, so I didn't want to be too obvious when checking him out. It seems like I was, though, because he came over and told me it was rude to stare at his arm. FML
Today, while working at the bar, I had a beautiful woman squeeze my bicep and tell me I was in amazing shape. Instead of flirting like any normal human being, I awkwardly said, "Thanks…" and then walked away in shame. FML
Today, I went to a club with some friends. I ordered two drinks from the waitress and gave her a fifty. She never returned with the change, and the rest of the staff claimed they didn't know who I was talking about. FML
Today, at work, I’ll admit that I wasn’t in a good mood. I work in fast food, and I went to hand this guy his food without looking and he didn’t grab it. I got frustrated so I FINALLY looked. With an equally as upset look, I noticed the guy didn’t have arms, so I’d just been shoving food in his face. FML
Today, I was going to work and got in the elevator. I was going through my bag for my phone and asked the man in the elevator to push the button for me. He gave me a look of death before I realized he had no arms. FML
Today, a shop I do work for sent a driver to pick up a large item. The driver was helping me load it, but was struggling and holding it awkward like he didn't know how to hold something heavy. Angrily I yelled at him to grab it like me with both his hands gripping the bottom. Turns out he was missing a hand. FML
Today, I was at a club with a friend. A cute guy kept smiling and looking over at me. He left his seat and went to the bar and brought back two drinks. He waved me over and then said, "Can you tell your hot friend that I bought her a drink?" FML
Today, I was out clubbing, when I saw a pair of very cute girls sitting at the bar, so I went over, hoping to introduce myself. I swung my leg over the stool, and through no fault of my own, sat on my own balls. I quickly got thrown out for "harassing the ladies." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I understand your frustration, but there really was no need to scowl and snap at him. People deserve some courtesy.

I feel obligated to click YDI just because you replied so rudely. I completely understand where you're coming from when asked to help carry his drinks, but there's no need to snap at the poor guy.

Could have just said "I'm sorry, but I can't leave the bar area until my shift is over."

I agree with what you're saying but in your picture, you have two arms. Can you explain please?

Personally, as a bartender myself, I always offer to help carry the drinks if the customer needs. It's called customer service.

its callwd leaving a queue of angry customers at the bar while yoy swan off to get brownie points. you are there to serve behind the bar the same as i am there to man reception. neither of us can go gallavanting off without good reason or the job you are supposed to be doing suffers.

Every place/bar is different. The one I work has a good size bar then table and chairs in a room that I have to myself. I'm allowed to leave the bar area and have to many times as I'm my own busser, food runner, waitress, bar back along with being the bartender. I don't consider that going off and galavanting around... Offering to carry the drinks if it looks like they need help is secondary to how slammed I am, as well, too.

Maybe it's an older picture. Or maybe it's just not any of your damn business.

FYL. Your job doesn't magically change because someone is disfigured. He should have asked a waiter or waitress to, you know, wait on their table.

I'm a cashier so I'm used to customer service and its my experience that people with handicaps get more offended if you offered to help then treat them like a normal person who can overcome their disabilities. If the man asked politely for assistance, sure I suppose that's a different story, but you also shouldn't let your pity rule you. Be helpful be nice be respectful but don't act out of pity it's offensive and degrading. Besides it sounds like the man did not ask in a very polite way, probably, as I have experienced, acted demanding and assumptuous. used to having people cater to his every whim because his disability. And while sad and unfortunate I've seen the worst characters out of these kind of people who think they are owed something from everyone because life is unfair.

But he has one arm. It wasn't like he asked her for a pity BJ and to move in to her home. He asked for some help, likely so he could impress the ladies without looking like an invalid.

Ugh, Shut up.

Why is everyone voting YDI? She didn't see that he only had one arm !

Because there was no need for her to scowl and snap at him when he asked a simple question.
