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.

YDI for wearing your pack in a store. It's common sense to take any bulky packs off when you go into a confined space.

@ 24,16,33 and others, when you travel around a country and move constantly do you really think you'll carry a suitcase with wheels? That's an FML by the way, sometimes the stores are so crowded you cannot move without hitting something. Especially when you carry all your life upon your back.

how come black people never wear backpacks into stores ? i respect them for that.

Without generalizing in any ways, that's maybe because there is less black people wearing travel backpacks... though I don't see the point of your comment about this black/white differenciation.

That's why I don't like to bring backpacks into the store.

If you didn't have to pay for any of it then this is an ANTI-FML!

In my harsh opinion, you deserve it for wearing a backpack in public. (Unless it's a turtle backpack, of course)

From your name, it seems as if you helped clean it up. That's really nice of you, at the store I work at, people knock things over and just leave it there and look at me, waiting for me to rush over to clean up after them.
