Today, I went into Whole Foods asking if they carried a supplement called Carnosine. The girl assisting me had no idea what it was, but asked, "Is this for weight loss?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while buying laxatives and really hoping the cashier wouldn’t make some snarky comment, the cashier said, "You know, that’s not a good way to lose weight." I had to explain to him that I’m actually constipated. FML
Today, my waiter turned to me and asked, "Let me guess, Miss I'm-not-fat-I'm-fluffy wants a Diet Coke?" FML
Today, at lunch I ordered a Coke. The waiter replied, "Diet Coke?" and I corrected him saying, "No, regular Coke." He shook his head and said again, "Diet Coke." FML
Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML
Today, my girlfriend and I, who are both heavy set, went into the pharmacy and asked if they sold any over the counter antidiarrhetic medicine. The store clerk, eyeing us up and down, said, “Uh, sorry, we don’t have antidiabetic medicine.” FML
Today, the clerk at Walmart asked me if the stretch mark cream I was buying was for my wife. I wish I could've said yes. FML
Today, my coworker asked me if I was on a diet for my New Year's resolution. When I said no, she replied, "Why not?" FML
Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML
Today, I ordered some burgers at a fast food joint. When I said, "No lettuce," the cashier looked dumbfounded and asked, "What's that?" I literally had to say, "The green stuff" before she got it. I'm losing hope. FML
Today, a customer came up to me with a can of ground black pepper and asked me what the ingredients were. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well it seems like she wasn't trying to be mean, but she shouldn't assume. Maybe alot of people come in for weight loss pills?

Sounds about right.

She clearly had no idea what she was talking about OP. Because of its antioxidant properties and its effects on AGEs, carnosine supplements can be used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and the prevention of atherosclerosis and joint inflammation, according to “Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database.” It can also bind to toxic heavy metals thus safely removing them from the body. According to Marios Kyriazis, M.D., carnosine also helps prevent cancer, boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation, increases libido, promotes wound and post surgical healing, protect against radiation damage, prevents and treats gastric ulcers and many more. Nothing about weight loss. Sounds to me it was a insult. Sorry OP. try to have a nice day anyway.

You lost me after the first line there bro

That's a textbook answer. HOW do you think it does all that? By speeding up cellular renual andgiving the person an energy boost. All antioxidents and amino acids can aid in weight loss. And anything that increases libido will increse testosterone, and therefore, decrease fat mass.

I think you're assuming that the girl knew what Carnosine was and was trying to be insulting -- it sounds to me like she had no idea what it was and needed to narrow down what she was looking for. She probably gets asked for weird diet pills all the time and figured there was a high probability that this was the same thing.

Are you retarded?
hama806 19
No, but it's looks like you are the retarded one. Not much of a response huh? Maybe you should expand your vocabulary.

I can copy and paste from wikipedia too. Good job.

I probably would have asked the same thing ! I don't understand what the problem is ?? She was just trying to help !

Tell her she looks fine and doesn't need them

Carnizine sounds like lipozine which is a weight loss drug. What is it anyway?

She was probing you so she knew where to take you in the store. So she thinks you are fat, big deal.

I don't think she meant it as an insult. Sometimes you put your foot in your mouth.

Ok, from someone who takes it for medical reasons, it's carnitine. That's the name of the actual supplement. Maybe carnisor is a brand name, but it's really bothering me.
NotAlwaysRight 11
That's a different supplement...

It seems like 41 is one of the few people who actually knows anything about what OP was talking about, so it's reasonable for her to "call people out ."
dreamer9614 3
Actually it's not. Look it up. "Carnisor" isn't a supplement at all. Dumb ass
PlaidPanda 9
Why do you keep calling it "carnisor"?! .. it's ******* carnosine.. And I did look it up, and it is a supplement, dumbass.

I don't think she was trying to be rude, just trying to be a good worker and try to help

FHL a little bit too :/ must be embarassing. I'm sure she didn't mean it that way.
