Entitled

Today, a man yelled at me for what seemed like an eternity when I told him his child wasn't tall enough to ride a roller-coaster. His daughter was about 3 years-old. The coaster is the second tallest in the world. I deal with morons like this every day, at minimum wage. FML

Today, I was at a waterpark with my friends, waiting in line for about 45 minutes to go on the biggest ride there. When it was finally our turn, the lifeguard at the top pulled me over and measured me to see if I was tall enough. I wasn't. FML

Today, I was at an amusement park with my kids. When we were on the Ferris wheel, I discovered my fear of heights. I hyperventilated, screamed from our seat "LET ME OUT! OH GOD LET ME OUT!!" I also began crying hysterically. They stopped the ride for me to get off. I'm a 45 year old man. FML

Today, I tried to tackle my fear of heights by riding a rollercoaster. Once we were near the top, it malfunctioned, causing it to stop, and we all had to get out and climb back down. My girlfriend laughed at me for how scared I was. FML

Today, I was in a store when a child looked at me and said to his mother "look at that tall man!" His mother replied "he's an evil giant isn't he, darling?" I then mimed being an evil giant to make the kid laugh. His mother slapped me. FML

Freaked out

By Cliffhanger - 10/05/2023 06:00 - United States

Today, I went to an amusement park with my family and we all decided to ride the tallest rollercoaster. As soon as the ride got going, I realized I'd made a huge mistake and was too terrified to open my eyes. I spent the entire ride screaming, with my hands over my eyes, and afterwards my cousin called me a wuss. FML

Today, my kid was lying on the floor in Morrisons screaming, no matter what I tried to do, until another mother came, picked him up, and dumped him in the trolley seat. She then looked me up and down and said, “Girl, he’s 4 years-old and 3 feet tall, grow some fucking backbone.” She was so right too. FML

Today, at work, a midget came in to buy beer. Not only was he almost as tall as me, he got offended when I had to card him and explain that the manager told me to card everyone, and that it wasn't because he was short. FML

Today, I was working as a character at an amusement park. I was walking with another character and we went over to a baby girl. She smiled and laughed at my co-worker. When she saw me, she started screaming and crying. FML

Today, while working at a certain California theme park in full costume, I was approached by a kid in line, who looked at me and exclaimed, "Hey look, its Indiana Jones!" which felt pretty amazing. His sister, who was maybe seven years old, glanced over at me and said, "No, he's way too fat." FML

Shut up

Today, I was working as a manager of the local movie theater. A six year-old came in with no parents or anyone else. When I asked him where his parents were, he looked at me and said, "Shut up white boy, I don't have to listen to your shit." I just got told by a six year-old. FML

It sounds like you would be doing the world a favour by adding his daughter to the Darwin awards list and ridding the gene pool of her fathers influence ahead of time. Sorry you have to deal with shit like this OP.

Top Thrill Dragster definitely isn't three year old appropriate.

Wait, what? You actually advocate the death of a 3-yr-old by putting said child on the 2nd tallest roller coaster in the world?! Solely to spite the father's lack of concern for the safety of his daughter? And if the 3-yo child doesn't happen to "win" a Darwin Award while on the ride, then that child might possibly be quite psychologically damaged for life nonetheless.... But that's okay to you, too? Sounds like you've already won the Darwin Award for Empathy.... :-(

This is why we stay in school! Yes, you still get verbally abused by morons, but the pay and benefits cushion the blows.

Not always. There are plenty of high paying jobs where the crap isn’t worth the money. I left two.

Just because someone works a minimum wage job doesn't mean it's okay to abuse them. And a lot of people take low-wage jobs while they're in school to pay the bills or have trouble finding a job after they graduate and have to take a service job. Show some ******* respect.

When I was a kid we went to amusement park three years in a row. First year I got to go everywhere, second year I was too short and was only allowed to go with a parent, third year I was too short to go at all... I grew up (or didn't) with the change of safety regulations. Was the parent mad because he couldn't go because of his kid? Nah, doesn't matter really. If the kid had been upset I could sympathize but the parent should realize the regulations are there for a reason.

"Sir do you want your child to DIE? Honey your daddy doesn't care about you but I do, you are not tall enough to ride this ride safely, you could be KILLED. unless your daddy wants to sign away any rights to sue for killing you by allowing you on this ride, you can't ride this ride yet." sure might get ya fired but might be a wake up call for the idiot entitled daddy.

I had a job like this as a teen. Not gonna lie, I got a kick out of telling adults that they needed to follow the rules. Whenever I got an attitude, I just said Ill call my boss and security and they can discuss it. “I paid so much money to get in here, let em ride!” “The stick says they’re too short, so ... no, they can’t. Thank you for your patronage.”

That’s not necessarily how it works. OP could be in high school or college. And some amusement parks (Disney for sure) has internships where college students can come work for a year. Just because someone’s working a minimum wage job doesn’t mean they’re under qualified for other things. They could just be working part time for other reasons.
