Embarrassing and Work: Leave me be

Leave me be

By hipster glasses - 16/08/2013 11:08 - United States

Today, I was verbally abused by a customer at my job. Apparently, wearing "ugly, thick-framed hipster glasses as a fashion statement is a HUGE faux pas." These are my actual prescription glasses, and "faux pas" is not pronounced "fox paws". FML

Today, while I was waiting for a bus, a nutjob-looking dude walked up to me, then hissed, "You hipster scum, you don't even need those glasses," before forcibly removing them and snapping them in half. I was wearing regular clothes, and those prescription glasses cost me $500. FML

Today, my wife and I went shopping for new glasses at a local store, but we didn't really get to actually buying one. On our way back, she warned me that my glasses of choice should in no way be 'those big arty ones'. When I asked her why not, she told me that I 'look gay enough already'. FML

Today, I thought the cashier said the new blouse I picked out was ugly as she was ringing me up. I'm really self-conscious about my fashion sense, so I snapped and started yelling at her. It wasn't until she was close to tears did I find out she said "lovely" not "ugly". So, that's another store I can't go back to. FML

Today, I inadvertently gave passers by the middle finger as I tried to stop my glasses from sliding off my face. FML

Today, a customer made a huge scene at work because all of our reading glasses are made in China, and apparently any "moral" person should be repulsed by that. FML

Today, at work, somebody stole my sunglasses. Fed up with the constant theft in my office, I stormed up to my boss, as he had long ago promised to catch the thief. He listened patiently to my rant before pointing out that my sunglasses were on my head. FML

Today, while out shopping, a middle aged man snatched my sunglasses off my face, threw them off the ground, and stomped on them, saying, "That’s what you get for trying to look cool, asshole!" I suffer from light-induced migraines. FML

Today, I was written up. Too many customers complained that I don't wear makeup or do my hair. I got written up for being ugly. FML

Today, my boss "borrowed" my prescription sunglasses off my desk. She crashed her car because they made her dizzy, and thinks I should pay for the damages. FML

Why the hell would someone feel the need to comment on another persons choice of eye wear? Talk about a fox ass.

It would be worse if your glasses were NOT prescription. Maybe they don't know how to pronounce French words, but they do recognize a fashion fad that's fading in the rearview mirror.

it's actually pronounced as 'fox piss'.

#23, no. I have a B.S. in French and the correct pronunciation is: GULL-uh-bull. :)

Like he has any right to insult your choice of eyewear anyways. Seems like he's the one who made the fuax pas here

Even if you were wearing stupid hipster glasses when you didn't need them, you still shouldn't be an ass like that. Well you know the bitch is obviously an idiot, so joke's on her

It's none of her business what kind of glasses you wear. She's just trying to feel smart by using words she doesn't know the pronunciation of. I swear, it's always dumb people who think they're so superior and intelligent. I once had a woman bitch me out for wearing an orange scrunchy in my hair.

It's actually faut pas

That's a French phrase and not the same thing.

But the saying comes from the french sentence "Il ne faut pas" which basically means "one shouldn't" or "one can't". So yes it is the same thing!

Nope. "faux pas" is French for "false step."

Opheliae 22

"Faux pas" strictly means a social blunder in the English language only. For the French, the equivalent word would be "gaffe." The full phrase using "faut pas" means "one must not" and is not the same thing.
