Today, a customer at the restaurant where I work reduced me to tears by screaming at me, as I nearly knocked out his 2-year-old with the kitchen door, after he let the little boy play on the floor behind it. Apparently, it's my fault I can't see through solid wood. FML

Today, I was dining out with friends. I saw a mom instructing her young child to go to empty tables and take whatever cash had been left. I discreetly told the manager. He confronted the woman and pointed right at me. As she was being thrown out, she tossed a very heavy mug at my head. It hit me. FML
Today, I stopped two little boys from spitting over a railing at the piano player two floors below in the department store I work at. Their mom complained to my boss about me. FML
Today, my manager cussed me out for being unable to keep a customer happy. That "customer" was a senile old twit who had wandered away from his carer, thought our shop was his living room, and demanded to know who replaced all his furniture. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I slipped on a crayon a little girl threw on the floor, causing me to drop the tray of water I was carrying, making me spill it all over her. After getting cussed out by her mom, I was fired for making a customer unhappy. FML
Today, as I was bagging groceries, I looked down to see a 6-year-old urinating on my shoes and the floor next to me. I told his mother that he should take her kid to the restroom, only to be told to "mind my own goddamn business." I was later fired for arguing with the customer. FML
Today, I was bringing a table a bowl of soup at my waitressing job. A new customer taking off his coat threw his elbow out, violently knocking the soup out of my hands and onto his baby in a highchair. The baby screamed; I had a panic attack. FML
Today, while taking to-go orders at my restaurant, a customer called saying he wanted his food well done. He even said, “Burn it to a crisp.” Which is what I told the kitchen. When he came to pick it up, he opened his food, inspected it and screamed, “Not this burned, you damn retard!” and threw it at me. FML
Today, my boss asked me to help train his son, so I put him to work cleaning tools covered in oil. He didn’t warn me his son has a violent temper, and would overreact at being asked to work for a living by dumping the bucket of tools on my head, breaking my glasses and concussing me. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML

I see nothing wrong with a human door stop. However, it should be the dad because he clearly has no mental activity.

I was being sarcastic, hence the quotation marks

You could have used the quotation marks around the word always. Not the the whole sentence.

Put either "/s" or "/sarcasm" at the end of the sentence you want everyone to know is sarcastic.

Sarcasm doesn't translate to the written word very well.

We don't really care for legal action in tbe UK. It usually doesn't solve anything. Just costs a lot of money.

Oh honey that's awful! You did nothing wrong and you know that, I'm so sorry he yelled at you. It's his own fault for letting his son play there and he should be ashamed of his actions. I hope everything goes better, I'm sorry.

He's either a total tool, or is blaming you to try to push away his own guilt feelings - for being a total tool and idiot parent.

Sounds terrible for all parties. Poor kid, poor you and the dad probably freaked out and spoke out without thinking. Hopefully the kids was ok.
