Today, I went out to buy a bottle of wine and some condoms. As the cashier scanned the condoms, she snickered and muttered, "Yeah right." She was right; I really was just desperate to look like I have a sex life. I got so upset that I left my items and walked out with tears in my eyes. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the drug store to pick up a few things. After looking for condoms for 15 minutes, I asked the cashier where I could find them. She said they keep them behind the counter due to theft. She refused to sell them to me, because they're for customers who might actually need them. FML
Today, I went grocery shopping with my toddler. At the checkout, I realized that I forgot my wallet at home. As I frantically searched my purse, my toddler shouted, "Mommy, do we need this?" and held up a box of condoms she'd grabbed from a nearby shelf. Everyone stared. FML
Today, I went to the store to pick up some feminine products. As I was paying, the male cashier looked at me sympathetically and asked if it was my girlfriend's time of the month. I'm a girl and was buying them for myself. FML
Today, my ex-husband’s new girlfriend stopped by the pharmacy I work at, checked out at my lane, and had me ring up her condoms. She kept bragging about how she’s gonna have “nasty freaky sex” with my ex all night long while I work at a “miserable pharmacy.” I burst into tears while she laughed and waltzed away. FML
Today, when I went to pay for my groceries, I accidentally handed the cashier a condom instead of my $20. FML
Today, I went to the store with my girlfriend. She needed to use the bathroom so I started looking at the books. It wasn't until the manager shot me a weird look that I realized I'd wandered down too far and was looking at bridal magazines, holding tampons, dog treats, and hair spray. FML
Today, I bought some makeup supplies at the supermarket. The cashier snorted and muttered, "Not enough in the world for you." FML
Today, I was at the supermarket checkout. I handed over my items, which included some tampons, tissues, and toilet roll. The security guard standing beside the cashier remarked loudly, "I'll be damned; she's flowing from every hole!" FML
Today, I had to admit that I'm an alcoholic when I spent my last dollar bills on Southern Comfort instead of tampons. FML
Today, the self-checkout machine at the grocery store kept yelling, “PLEASE PLACE ITEM IN BAGGING AREA” while I frantically tried to scan everything. An employee came over and said a bit too loudly, “Ma’am, you have to scan the condoms before bagging them.” Of course there were people around to giggle. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Doesn't matter if she was right, she acted unprofessionally. I'm so sorry she treated you like that. You'll find someone special.

I realize you must care about what others think, but it really doesn't matter what they think. Don't feel the need to fake it.

Should've said "Tomorrow I can get a girl, but tomorrow you'll still be ugly."

Another virtual hug :3 that bitch won't matter tomorrow OP, so why should they matter now? :)

There was an article on MSN that talked about how there are loads of single women in Australia . It said even the churches were saying that women maybe needed to lower their standards some. Then I also read that Australia wanted eligible single men to come there. How are you single in a target rich environment ??

I agree! Why does it matter if you don't even know the cashier ._. Some people keep their sex lives private anyway.
PuggieKid 22
I hope the cashier felt guilty and ugly when she saw you like that! ;(.
chanta24 10
Hence why she's a grocery cashier....don't need great people skills. Sorry OP
denden_mushi 11
I wonder if it wasn't so much of the lack of sex the made the cashier say that, but the size of the condoms that were bought. Maybe the op got the biggest size so the cashier snickered at that.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
So you walked Out like a little bitch to prove her point, eh
Shrike 24
Ahh, now I know why you became a divorce lawyer. Representing yourself is definitely cheaper than paying someone else to do it for you.
iAlissa 34
I bet this comment makes OP feel even better about himself.

Oh my Shrike that was such a burn it's more like cremation. This is going in FML QDB.

I'm sorry, but I fail to understand how not having a sex life and walking out of a store have anything to do with each other.
seacadet 18
I gotta be honest... I kind of agree with him here.
captainObviously 15
Way to show him he deserves it!!
luckyd880 12
Next time bring a girl in with you while you buy the items. That'll show that cashier!
vewwe 20
I am sorry but why should he show the cashier? People should stop caring too much about what others think. What's important is how you feel about yourself!
grace31297 14
And self worth is generally generated from the confidence that you get from others. "Don't care what others think" is easier said than done. If somebody gives you a compliment its a completely different story. You're not just going to ignore it. Hence caring about what others think and how they perceive you.
vewwe 20
I agree with you that it's important to get appreciation from others. It's always a boost for the self-confidence. But in this case, I don't see why it would be a good thing to show that rude cashier that "hey I have a girlfriend, I get to have sex everyday". First, she probably wont care. Second, OP will still know that it's not true and the only thing that will make him feel better is probably that he got his revenge...

Wow, you should definitely report that comment to her manager. Such an unprofessional move on her part for saying that.
kirasant 19
Report her! Seriously. She doesn't know you were just doing it to appear to have a sex life. You could have been buying them for someone else, or for some awesome water ballons. The cashier shouldn't have picked on you.
PenguinBitch 44
Even if she didn't say anything, what the hell were you going to do with the condoms? Practice safe wanking? Don't feel to ashamed of yourself OP. C'mon, she's a cashier who probably works at a liquor. Wrong place. -_-
hama806 19
It would have been "unprofessional" if say a pharmacist, said something like this. A cashier, last I knew, is not a professional. Therefore, it was just a snide remark.
botanistjessica 24
I work at a gas station part time to pay my way through college. That doesn't mean I don't act professional. If I said something like that to a customer and my boss found out, I'd likely get fired.
perdix 31
#5, chances are the manager will take one look at the OP, laugh, high-five the cashier and give her a raise. Is that what you want?
SillyGirl4602 23
It still means she was unprofessional. She could get fired for that.
Marcelb 17
29 - You just went full retard. Never go full retard.
Czech_Zidane 14
In that case even the manager has some boss who OP should complain to about the manager's unprofessional behaviour. And this is why a lot of supermarkets has a "phone number for complaints" - OP should report the btch to her manager and call at the "complaint department" as well.
Omfgitsmia 15
So you went out of your way to "prove" to a cashier who doesn't care that you have a sex life? Why not stay home and save yourself a few bucks?

Employees like that piss me off. I work with people all day and rule #1 is regardless of how shitty your day might be you NEVER take it out on the customer.
greenie213 23
Unless your a life guard. Yelling at that dumb eighth grader is a job requirement, and it makes you feel better too.
BrandiLush 31
I'm a prison guard so I get to be a bitch to everyone that pisses me off. I love my job.
greenie213 23
Dang. You win.
TomPusslicker 21
A female prison guard, theres something sexy about that. Maybe im picturing it wrong. Probably.

That someone might be on the otherside of the world or be in a different time period, however.
