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, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by a drive-thru on the way to his place. I asked him to order a Coke for me, at which point he asked if I wanted to make it a Diet Coke. FML

Sorry, I didn't mean…
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 a Diet Coke with my meal from a fast food restaurant. Turns out, they didn't give me diet. My blood sugar spiked and I was sick for hours later. I'm a diabetic. FML

Thanks Karen
Today, I was taking a customer's order when she said she'd better go for a salad, because she was getting fat. She was actually very slim, so I told her she wasn't fat at all. She took one look at me and snorted, "Yeah, not compared to you, that's for sure." FML
first time at McDonald's in months...

Today, I was at McDonald's. As I left the counter with the food, I heard the cashier mutter, "Fat ass." I turned around and demanded to see the manager. Once he came and heard the situation, he looked at me and said, "Well, it's not like he's wrong, right?" FML

Today, while on a date, I accidentally ordered "diet water" instead of saying "diet coke". FML

Today, I was on cloud nine when the beautiful waitress I frequently ordered takeaways from told me she didn't need to take my name as she remembers me from before. When I got my food, I saw the sales slip. On it she had written, "Cheeseburger - Fries - Coke - Nerdy guy with bad haircut." FML

Today, I was at a work lunch, and the waiter brought me a soda I hadn’t ordered. I thought it was a free mistake, so I took a sip. It was actually my boss’s drink. As soon as I noticed, I tried to give it back, but he just stared at me and said, "It’s fine. I’ve already seen you drink it now." FML

Assume the worst, huh?
Today, I was sitting in McDonald's. A lady came up to me and started complaining about the bad service, and asked for the manager. I told her that I didn't work there. "But you must, someone that fat has to work here!" FML

I really hope you obeyed the cardinal rule of the food industry & waited til after you got your food before telling the waiter what you thought of them... If not, you ate something extra with your food... Pretty much gauranteed...

Yeah but nowhere in the FML does it state that the waiter's a grammar Nazi, so why would she bother misusing "your" like that? :/

You would think people who are so judgemental could use your and you're correctly. Apparently not :(

As a waiter, I see so many fat cows who think that because it says Diet it is good for them. You'll get the tubbies coming in and ordering the biggest meal they can, and then topping it off with a Diet Coke... more often than not, they'll have 3 or 4 glasses of it too.

I'm a big girl and I drink diet coke simply because I like it better than regular coke. Not everyone just drinks diet sodas because they have no calories. I think most diet beverages taste better than the regular ones.

Ok, just because a lot of fat people order diet cokes does not mean you can openly insult them, ESPECIALLY during your shift. It's just unprofessional, rude, and not needed during the work place. I'm guessing you are the waiter in the story or you have taken lessons from How-To-Get-Rapidly-Fired Fred Dickbred.

They're still not getting the added calories from the soda even if the meal is high-cal. One bad thing + one neutral thing is always going to be better than two bad things.

And your point is? Waiting tables is a tip-dependent job. There was no call for such a rude comment, no matter what the waiter thought or what OP looks like.

Obvious8: You don't know what your customers think, in all actuality, and you don't know exactly why they order the diet coke when they do. It also doesn't make sense to mock people for making a good choice when they have already made a bad choice. It is erroneous and illogical to suggest that one should do ALL-BAD or ALL-GOOD and nothing in-between (for the sake of dignity).

You should have reported her. She would have been fired. If she said that to you, she must be mean to other people too.

Damn, did you break the first three booths you sat in or is he your ex? That's pretty brutal for an unprovoked insult, I can't see any other way op would deserve that.
