Meanwhile, in Westboro…

Today, I was ringing up a lady and her daughter at the shoe store I work at. The background on my nametag is a rainbow, and when the daughter saw it, she asked her mother why it was so. Her mother looked at my nametag, then me, then turned to her daughter and said, "Because he hates God, honey". FML

Today, I was walking through the store when I saw a little boy point to me and say something to his mom. I was out of earshot at the time, but I got close enough just in time to hear the mom reply, "God says we have to love everyone, even if they're ugly." FML

Today, a woman stopped me and started chewing me out for wearing a pentagram necklace. I explained to her that is wasn't a pentagram, it was a Star of David. She continued chewing me out because apparently that still means I hate Jesus. FML

All you need is hate

Today, I wore a t-shirt that had a rainbow-ish multicolored design when I went to drop off my daughter at school. Another parent threatened to “call the authorities” on me for wanting to “poison” children with “f**got memorabilia,” and to “stop pushing my agenda” on them. I’m a straight dude. FML

Today, someone came into the store I work at, laughed at my name on my name-tag, and left without even buying anything. FML

Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML

Storage wars

Today, I brought my daughter to work with me. When we walked in, a client was blowing up at my boss, all because as my boss was walking past his storage unit, he glanced in and was about to compliment how neat it was. After my boss left, I had to deal with the aftermath, which left my daughter terrified of this man. FML

Today, as I was bagging groceries, I looked down to see a 6-year-old urinating on my shoes and the floor next to me. I told his mother that he should take her kid to the restroom, only to be told to "mind my own goddamn business." I was later fired for arguing with the customer. FML

Today, a shifty customer came in to my store and was hanging around for about 30 minutes. Apparently, he took that time to put religiously-motivated anti-abortion notes into each and every pair of socks. In the following hours, I had 17 angry returns and was personally threatened twice. FML

Today, at my new job, I took some food out to a customer. Walking away, I heard a lady mumble, "Oh my God, you could never pay me enough to wear that." FML

Today, at work, a man walked up the escalator with his chubby kid next to him and asked me where the shoe section was. I said, "For you or your son?" He said, "For my daughter." FML

Hey, men can wear rainbow tags without being gay! That women needs to be punched or something for being stereotypical. Besides, I bet your a very FABULOUS man.

I can see why the little girl would submit a FML, but do you take this seriously?

Number 3, who could blame anyone if they did? I swear these religious fanatics have troubled minds. The poor guy can't wear some bloody colours on his name tag without being classed as gay?

Would this happen to be the same woman, that told her daughter another FML poster has a nose ring because her parents don't love her???

If there is a God, He probably likes people who love more than people who hate. So epic fail for this woman.

36, shut the **** up. We're not all like that and you're just as bad if you're generalising about an entire group of people. If I said "gay people are so stupid" I would get shitkicked.

#50, it's not the same at all. A religious person willfully chooses to ignore the work of science and intellectuals in exchange for a silly fairy tale. Gays are just sexually/romantically attracted to folks of the same sex, which has nothing to do with how intelligent they are. Re: the OP...Some people just like rainbows! Since when is that a crime?
