Bitchy

Today, I was mopping the floor at the hotel I work at. Before I could react, a gentleman stormed through the corridor and slipped and fell on the still wet floor. He complained to the owner, who bitched me out just to satisfy the guy. FML

Today, I cleaned the two staircases at the hotel where I work. Five minutes later, someone complained they were dirty. Someone had dropped soda and got mud all over them. FML

Today, I was shopping when I suddenly slipped on the wet floor and my basket and my groceries were flung everywhere. Moments later, one of the cleaners walked over holding a "wet floor" sign, saw me and laughed. FML

Slip up

Today, we were closing the restaurant early. I begin mopping as a couple walks in. The lady slips and falls, and to avoid a lawsuit, we offer them free food. After they left, I slipped on the freshly mopped kitchen floor with dishes in my hands. I didn't get free food. FML

Today, I slipped at work while putting out a "wet floor" sign to make sure the customers didn't slip. FML

Today, I tripped over a "wet floor" sign at work and hit the floor hard. The floor wasn't even wet. FML

Today, I was in my family's hotel room taking a dump. The lock to the bathroom was broken so we had made a deal: when the door is closed, someone is using the toilet. The maid didn't know that. She punched me in the face because she claimed I scared her. FML

Today, I was shopping in a store and an employee was mopping the floor. She mopped all around where I was standing then told me to wait until the floor dried to move. I had to go to the bathroom. FML

Today, at work, after a visit to the bathroom, the lock broke in my hand and the door was jammed. I called the janitor on my cellphone and told him about the situation. He told me to fill out a complaint and leave it in his post box. He then hung up. FML

Today, a customer at work said his table was dirty. I asked which one he was sitting at so I could clean it for him. For some bizarre reason he got pissed and called my manager over. He ended up reporting us to corporate, and my manager got written up. He's blaming me for everything. FML

Today, at my hotel job, I had to help a drunk naked guy back into his room. Earlier today, a fat old guy wearing only briefs came down to the lobby drunk as hell. I used to like my job. FML

Well, was there a sign? If not, it's your fault.

If there was not a wet floor sign, he could sue, from the stories I've heard from America.

There are supposed to be signs put up that says caution wet floor or something like that. Before you start OSHA regulator for businesses.

Got to love all the sue happy commenters on here! I'm sure OP would be facing more than a "lecture" if the sign wasnt up.

YDI for not using a wet floor sign. Especially in a hotel, where plenty of guests will be walking in and out. Someone either forgot to teach you about the sign, or the hotel is shitty enough that they don't care about their guests.

Until OP says otherwise you can't determine if there was a sign or not. Way to jump to conclusions.

If you were really bitched out JUST to satisfy the customer, then take heart in knowing it was all for show. I've seen that happen at tons of places. Annoying customer causes a scene and blames an employee... manager chews that employee out to make the customer feel better. Then, the moment the customer leaves, the manager turns around and takes it all back and praises the employee. It may be really mortifying, but hopefully you can get past it soon. Hopefully you don't have to get used to occurrences like this. If you do, you must have some pretty crappy customers and for that I am sorry.

That sort of behavior should be completely unacceptable. This gives customers the feeling they have rights they absolutely don't have. It is NOT "the customer is always right"...
