Butter fingers

Today, I was in a fancy department store. I was wearing my travel backpack. I was turning around after paying at the checkout and my backpack hit a metre-tall display covered with necklaces. It went crashing to the floor, hitting another display table laden with jewelry that collapsed under it. FML

could have been worse. could have been a rack of dishes and glasses.

Honestly, I worked a few retail jobs before escaping from that grind, and that kind of stuff happened all the time. As long as the customers were at least apologetic and didn't just swan off like "Oh well, your problem now!" we never got bent out of shape over it. Yeah it's embarassing, but don't lose sleep over it.

yahh..and you would of had to pay for all of it

Did they find all the stolen loot in your backpack? About your name "two-hours-to-pick-up": Is that the amount of time I'd have to chat you up before you slept with me or before you'd give me your phone number?

Considering you already paid, you should have run!

@3 thats pretty funny if your being iroonic hah

really who gives a tihs... new moderators... fml is not what it used to be

I think it's more than half the stores fault because most department stores have their displays cramming into the aisles so even someone with just a purse on their shoulder is easily capable of the same thing. same in grocery stores. I hate the fact that you can't even turn around without being in danger of bumping some stupid display.

Our transaction is complete. The boy may leave.

Agreed... If you're not going to class or not hiking up a mountain - what the hell are you wearing a backpack for? Ewww. You're distressing my gay sensibilities.

What if OP biked? Like when I go biking or for a long walk I don't bring my purse. Imagine biking with a purse haha that would be soo awkward

This isn't really an FML, especially since you didn't state whether or not they made you pay for it. Definitely a FML to the employee who has to take care of it though.
