Today, I was working retail when a group of older gentlemen came in looking for a good sound system. I showed them a top-range system and gushed about it in detail, trying to close the sale. One of them snorted and said, "See Dave, girls like her are the reason ball gags were invented." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was trying sell a customer a top-of-the-line surround sound system. Apparently he was aware that I work on commission, as he threatened to buy the system elsewhere unless I sang Rebecca Black's "Friday" in front of the whole store. Goodbye, self-respect. FML
Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML
Today, I was at the store when I saw two extremely hot girls. I walked into their aisle and they looked at me and smiled. I stopped and pretended to look at something so I could listen to what they were saying. They started laughing and walked away. It turned out I was reading a box of tampons. FML
Today, while out shopping, I could hear what sounded like two grown men talking about me, and they were being pretty gross. I turned around to scold them and it turned out being a dad and his 13-year-old son. He said he was, "teaching a son to be a man", and that my ass was "grounds for discussion." FML
Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML
Today, I was at the store buying some feminine products. At the cash register, the clerk said to me "Dude, you know those are for girls right?" I am a 30 year old woman. FML
Today, I meant to express to my friends that I was enamored with a young saleswoman I had encountered at a store. I wanted to tell them that she was quite petite and that I am, in general, attracted to petite women. Instead I said, "You know? I like little girls." FML
Today, I went into a music store to look into getting a new guitar. I picked up one that I was interested in and tried it out quietly. A sales representative approached me and asked me to "stop the noise and leave the guitars for serious customers." I've been playing for almost ten years. FML
Today, I went downtown with my friends. A group of guys came up to us and started hitting on everyone except me. Then one of them said, "Do you girls hang out with her to make yourselves look better?" FML
Today, I was at a gas station when the cash register made a sound effect similar to one from Sonic the Hedgehog, and I pointed this out. The cashier then saw fit to go on a rant about how I need to stop focusing on video games, and get a life and a girlfriend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yea like I wouldn't have the guts To say that! And If I was her I would Complain!
raspygirl 12
Not sure where the rest of my comment went. Men can't handle women who know more. Clearly they need to berate them to feel better about themselves. I'd put a ball gag in his mouth ;)
boomhauer18 3
Or maybe women should learn not to talk so much.
MrSassypants 34
Whoah 13, no need to get sexist, men not handling women who are smarter isn't the case at all. It is just that old people can do a lot of rude things and get away with it.

Already with the feminist victimization? "Men can't handle strong, intelligent women so they put us down". Perhaps when she was "gushing" about the sound system, one of the men verbally expressed his annoyance followed with the idea of putting a cork in it. You can sell something without tiring your costumer.

Your costumer? ._. I want a costume...

Nice sexist generalization. Now back to the kitchen.
Talia_91 13
28- she is a sales person her job is to talk about the product, she may have gushed over it to make it sound like its amazing and something she wants to close the sale like she said. Men can't handle it when women know more, and not all men, but I work as a sales person and I sell doors and windows and garages and parts to all that and just cause I'm a women I don't know anything yet none of those guys know a single hung to a double hung window or an interior door to an exterior one. And even if that guy was tired of hearing her talk he could of walked away and had his friend listen, cuz I'll assume questions were asked about the product to make OP gush over it.

Y r some of u defending this douch? he straight up disrespected her while she was explaining something about what he wanted to know. He could have said thank you and walked away. That's all I'm saying

So* You missed the period.

So since when does gushing about something mean you actually know something about your sale. The word alone brings to mind 13 year olds talking about boys. There's also a thing about overselling a product. The comment about the ball gag was rude, but at least they had the patience to listen to her.

Whats rude is when some women naggs you to death and you say something then your the bad guy go figure wish more men where like these old guys women would know there place still the kitchen.

Why is everyone assuming these were "old guys"? I didn't see where OP referenced their age.
fugazeeb 0
oops! guess I need my eyes checked! I see they were "older gentlemen"
rattusrattus 19
"Older gentlemen". Although I would hesitate to call them "gentlemen". If they wanted her to be quieter, they could have asked POLITELY - 'excuse me, could you talk slower, we have trouble understanding you', for example - rather than resorting to crude and sexist remarks.

#119: "a group of older gentlemen".

I agree with them. YDI for having an annoying voice! Those girls are so annoying.
Ameel_fml 19
How do you know she had an annoying voice though? And even if she did, what does that have to do with her ability to sell a product? People with annoying voices deserve jobs too. Sadly, some people are just rude for the sake of being rude. You could be the best salesperson in the world, and there will always be someone who will complain about your service.
Azail 15
Why are some of you defending this douche?**
AFCA020 4
She could have just said: "this is the best we have" us men like it simple.. Telling us what the system can do is just taking al the fun out of finding it out ourselves. And yeah, although funny, it was a bit rude what the man said...
Talia_91 13
92- as I said in the last of my comment one of the group of gentlemen must have asked questions. And when sellin someone something if you sell it and don't like it they aren't going to buy it so just because she used the word gush, she could of said at the end of pitch that it was a top product( or a new one they got in I use that a lot) and said how amazing it was and wishes she had one

I agree with 23. But at the same time those men shouldn't be so mean to women. I mean just think, lots of women have helped the world. Take Rosa Parks for instance, without her black people would still be treated cruely.

I agree with pinkie pie.

They want to ball gag her because she is annoying not because she knows a lot about the thing she is selling....

98 - you put the 'idiot' in 'idiot'.

That's certainly a bit of a stretch there.
TheDrudgeChild 4
BDSM is a sexual fetish term (bondage/dominance/sadomasochism) for when a person enjoys being dominated and physically hurt. It's not abuse though. Seriously for the people who are too lazy to use Google, no one could give a straight definition?

They're perverse old men. So yeah, she probably didn't.

Since January 1, 0001.
fmlallthetyme 23
Is that AD or BC Doc?
iamyummylicious 14
But wait wouldn't that be only small time apart? Because BCE is counted backwards. 1000BCE 800BCE 600BCE 400BCE 200BCE 0001BCE 0 0001CE 200CE 400CE 600CE 800BCE 1000CE
iamyummylicious 14
0001 BCE and 0001 CE would be relatively close in time since BCE years are measured backwards. On a timeline it would look something similar to: 500 400 300 200 100 0001 0 0001 100 200 300 400 500 :D
