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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML
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, I dropped my 6-month-old $3,500 guitar. Luckily, it had a one year warranty from the store so I drove back. It was shut down. FML
Today, I learned how to play "Happy Birthday" on the guitar, just to have my friend tell me that my voice sucks, and that I needed to stop immediately. FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, I had to explain to my little sister that not all guitars are supposed to have a hole in them, that when I was talking about "breaking it in" I didn't mean I'd smash a hole in it, and that she shouldn't have taken a hammer to my expensive new guitar. FML
Today, my sister was playing a rock star in a play. When she got home, she told me she used one of my old guitars, because I told her it was ok. I said she could take one to practice on, not destroy on stage. FML
Today, I was at a piano lesson playing a song I had worked very hard to make perfect. Halfway through, my teacher abruptly stops me and asks, "Did you notice that I rearranged the furniture?" FML
Today, I was listening to music while wearing my headphones on campus. A song I really liked came on, and after a while, I started doing air guitar along to it. I was soon accosted by campus security. Apparently, air guitar looks like jerking off from really far away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

wow, another musician like me. Fortunently Ive never had that happen. If you keep practicing you could go back and knock that bitch off her fuckng feet! no one talks to a true muscician like that! Practicing pays off. Trust the person who's made hundreds, not thousands(yet), off music. god I wish he would come back and read this, I really feel for this guy...

this doesn't mean they r bad at guitar op was probably just testing it to hear the sound as opposed to trying to play a super hard song

**pulls out credit card** what's that credit card?... Awe I know we wanted to buy a really nice expensive guitar from this store but that mean man said to stop touching. We'll just go to their biggest competitor and buy things from them from now on. **walks out of store** don't let people treat you that way. Especially a rude employee.

No. Csuse my friend played for ten years. Then he found out he sucked at it and beat up a homeless guy with a lead *****. I find that to be a good and productive way to rechannel your energy.

Les Paul=sexy

As cliche as it is, I think the Fender Stratocaster is the sexiest guitar. However, Jimmy Page makes the Les Paul very sexy.

I've got 4 guitars, but my best ine by far that makes all other guitars obsolete is my signature Rusty Cooley Dean RC7, ofcourse the one made in the USA with the custom graphics and inlays.

Sexual play doesn't count. In fact, if you were using my guitars for that, I'd ask you to leave, too.

Did you complain to management? I also hope that you didn't buy a guitar from that shop. A serious musician does not always have a certain appearance. Sales reps are supposed to make sales... right?

aww, that sucks man!
