Today, at the bank where I work, I escorted a very short woman to her safe deposit box in the vault. I left her alone, knowing she could use the phone to call the reception when she was ready to leave. We later realised the phone was too high for her to reach. If glares could kill… FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I held the door open for a woman and her kids on my way out of the bank. She started accusing me of patronizing her, and when I just let go of the door in protest, she deliberately leaned in so it hit her in the face. I felt the glares from the entire bank as she pretended to cry. FML
Today, I helped an older guy with his safe deposit box. He said it was perfect for holding his ex-wife's remains and laughed. I laughed because I thought he was kidding. He wasn't. FML
Today, it was my second day at my new job as a bank teller. I got locked in the vault while alarms were being tested. I was in there for an hour and none of my coworkers had even noticed that I'd gone missing. Gee, thanks. FML
Today, while working at a cell phone store, I helped an older woman learn how to use her newly updated phone. After trying to help her for over 20 minutes, she threatened to throw her phone at my head. FML
Today, I went to the bank to make a deposit. While I was waiting on my transaction, the bank tellers were making fun of me. I could tell cause I heard them through the speaker. FML
Today, as I walked into the bank, I tripped and bumped into a security guard. He thought I was assaulting him, so he pinned me to the floor and called for backup as he held me at gunpoint. FML
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML
Today, while working my overnight shift, I went into the isolation room to find some items for a former client. The door fell shut and the magnetic lock went to work. Both unit telephones and my cell phone were lying on the desk, and I waited four hours for my supervisor to rescue me. FML
Today, I saw a woman struggling to hold the elevator. Trying to be helpful, I jumped forward and pressed the “close doors” button, thinking it was “open doors.” The doors shut right in her face. I had to awkwardly ride up ten floors in silence with three witnesses. FML
Today, I was at the supermarket when an elderly lady asked if I'd grab some coffee for her from a high shelf. The moment I took my hands off my almost-full shopping cart, she made off with it. I ended up getting thrown out by security after she claimed I was trying to steal it from her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't feel too bad OP, you didn't know that when you left her there. And she got out eventually.

That's what I was thinking. It's not either one of their faults.

She should've went to Gringotts Wizarding bank, the employees there are probably be just as short as her :p

But phones don't exist in Gringotts - just remember goblins shouldn't be trusted ;)

Genes made her short.

It's probably best if you left religion off this site; I've noticed most god-based comments getting downvoted. No, I'm not just saying that because I'm atheist.

what the hell kind of comment is that? You: lets leave religion off this site, but just so everyone know, I'm an atheist

Not just this site, most sites which are not an actual religious site will have comments about religion taken in a negative form (downvoted, flamed etc.). Well, certainly any sites I have used anyway.

Even on religious sites, there is hate. Why can't we all just respect each other and our religions?
deathhill3 40
I know there will always be hate, even on religious sites, but I would've thought that the non hate posts would greatly outnumber the hate ones on religious sites, were as the opposite tends to be true on non religious sites.

37, things would be way too peaceful and way too nice. We can't have happiness in life. Nono, we need to make each other feel miserable for no reason at all and attack each other based on our differences.

If you believe in God, (which I do, not that it makes a difference right now) then God caused genes to make her short.

hokie don't forget environmental factors as well!!

Well it's not your fault. But then again its not hers either. I say blame nature and whoever placed the phone
XDsmileyDX_fml 24
It was only a little problem. I'm sure you'll laugh about it later sometime.
Kyle17206 11
Not sure if that was a pun or not...
XDsmileyDX_fml 24
And the results are in... It WAS a pun :D

I don't think that she really should be mad at you. It's not your fault that they installed the phone higher than her.

You shouldn't have given her such short notice

This pun is revaulting.
