Today, my young son and I were in line at Subway. I guess he got bored and started to insult the teenage girl behind us. I tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. Eventually the girl punched him in the face and left. As my son cried uncontrollably, everyone else there clapped. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to Subway. A lady was in the line with her toddler. The kid screamed in his bid for attention, while his mother and the cashier ignored him, to the point that his voice became a loud screech and the sandwich artist couldn't hear me. I bellowed, "SHUT THAT KID UP!" Silence and glares followed. FML
Today, while working at Subway, a man ordered a sub with avocado. When I told him it was no longer available, he screamed, spit in my face and ran out, pushing over an innocent bystander in the process. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son got so enraged at a fly that kept harassing him, that he ended up slapping himself in the face as it flew by him. This caused him to fall out of his chair, at which point he broke down into a mess of tears, humiliating me in front of everyone. FML
Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML
Today, while I was standing in line at the store, some guy insulted the girl in front of me as he walked past. She turned around and socked me in the face. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my husband and our 6-year-old son. My husband kept stealing popcorn from the guy next to him, to the point where the guy punched him in the face. The movie was stopped, the police were called, and my son is now inconsolable. FML
Today, my son got a beating. Apparently, he went to a club, waited until he saw a couple of girls pulling a duckface for a photo, then rushed over and threw pieces of bread at them. Their boyfriends, not too surprisingly, didn't appreciate this. I had to drive the idiot home from the hospital. FML
Today, I saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant when I heard a young girl telling her father she didn't think she was pretty. When I got up to leave, I walked past her table and told her she was beautiful. Her dad then punched me in the face. FML
Today, my son trained his little sister to walk up to strangers and whimper: "My mommy punches me." FML

Not only would I have clapped too, I would've burst out laughing. Your son had it coming.

Of course, because it's not like EVERY PERSON goes through a phase before teens where they're a hassle. genius.jpg

You obviously didn't try very hard to stop him from what he was doing. Doesn't anyone believe in disciplining their kids anymore?!

Apparently spanking your children breeds bullies and emotionally distraught teenagers. I was spanked.. I turned out alright, I work 5 ten hour days a week, probably more than I can say for anyone in my age group that wasn't spanked and instead rewarded with Subway.

Sometimes it's just the kid. I've seen wonderful parents who discipline their children, but kids can turn out to be little *****. It happens more often than people think.

I was spanked as a kid and dont regret it. Its not necessarily about the spanking its about how you go about it. You're teaching your child right from wrong and the consequences of the wrong actions.

Well, it's good that someone was ready to teach him a lesson, since apparently his mother can't.

Well that's a parenting fail on your part...

If your child is say 5 then the teenager should have not done that if your child is 10 then yeah he deserved it. I'm sorry though you obviously didn't control him enough. If I was you I would have removed him and told him you would go home and make a sandwich.

You don't make a kid who is in trouble a sandwich. You make him do chores and then make his own food. If he's old enough to bully people, he's old enough to assemble a sandwich.

If the kid was young (5-10) I'd be concerned that the parent wasn't able to get him to stop. An older kid definitely deserves it. With a younger kid, that's a parenting failure.

I have had to click YDI because there is no "your son deserved it" option. Perhaps you should have slapped him first. Or taken him outside at least. I hope you joined in the clapping.

Somehow, while reading this fml, I mentally pictured the scene with cartman and his mother.

hope you didn't buy him anything at subway after that episode. Sounds like you got a spoiled kid who doesn't respect you, be a more strict parent.

Taught your son a lesson, didn't it.
