Today, while shopping, a lady came up to me and asked if she could borrow my baby because, "Y'know, I'm in a hurry and they'll let me checkout first." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, I saw a lady leave her infant in a display crib so she could go shopping. When I stopped her and told her she couldn't do that, she said, "Well, I do it all the time." FML
Today, while I was shopping, I spotted a lady who had the last of an item I wanted in her cart. She went off to the dressing room, so seeing my opportunity, I went and grabbed it from her cart, and put it in mine. I hadn't noticed her bratty-ass daughter next to the cart, who then yelled, “I saw that! Mommy! Some lady's stealing from your cart!” FML
Today, I waved at a baby while standing in line in a store. It started screaming. Its mom looked over in mild concern and gave me a disturbed glare before moving to the next checkout counter over. FML
Today, while at the mall, a lady dropped her credit card while in line to buy something. I came over, picked it up and gave it to her just for her to shove it in my hand and scream, "She's stealing my wallet! My wallet!" The police came. FML
Today, at work, an old lady came through my line to buy some groceries. She told me she lost her purse and was a little short. It was busy, so I pulled out my little purse and gave her the money she needed. A few minutes later she returned with my boss, insisting that my purse was hers. FML
Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML
Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML
Today, at my job as a cashier, a man and his 3-year old son got in line. The father said, "Give this to the pretty lady," looking at me. The kid looks at me, looks at his dad, and walks over to the next cashier. FML
Today, while in line at the supermarket, I told the lady behind me that she had a cute baby. She shot me a disgusted look and straight up accused me of being a pedophile. FML
Today, the lady in front of me in the checkout line had a pacifier hanging around her neck, but I didn't think much of it until it was time for her to pay. She reacted to the $250 total by crying like a baby and very loudly asking me to put the pacifier in her mouth to calm her down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd heard of pretending to be pregnant to get a seat on the bus but this is new to me

Tell her you rented the baby from the lady at the checkout counter. Then watch her being banned from the store or worse

How will that let one cut in line..?

The only way I can think of it helping is if it crapped itself and is stinking the place up

What a bizarre woman. I hope you just stared at her blankly she scuffled away awkwardly.

scuffled is such a strange word :). its like a cross between shuffled and scuttled. off topic i know but your word choice amused me.

I thought a scuffle was like a fight

Tell her she's a moron and to wait in line like everyone else.

Nobody else could possibly have anything to do except her. That's a baby-boomer level of entitlement.

From now on I will never yield to mothers with babies in line! I can't believe I've been fooled this whole time...

The only people I let infront of me are the elderly and disabled (cane ect.) sorry moms I know you got shit to do but not willing to allow u in front unless you got like 3 items and I got a full buggy.

I never expect to cut in line when I have my kids with me (7 month old and 2 year old). The only time someone let me go ahead of them was when I was buying medicine for my baby and he was screaming his head off. I think everyone was relieved when I left the store.

There are actually disabilities you can't see that makes it hard for people to stay on their feet for too long. (I have a fused hip, so if I'm up for more than a few minutes, my feet start to ache.) However, even if disabled, unless it's an emergency or they have less items, I wouldn't agree to cutting in line at all.

Tell her if you could wait for 9 months, she can wait 5-10 minutes...
