Mood: Ruined

By WhyMe - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - Wareham

Today, I went to work in a great mood, something that doesn't happen often. It was shortly ruined after some lady yelled at me because I accidentally shorted her one penny. Yep. One single penny. FML

And she gave you her two cents worth. Figures.

Some people really need to change their attitude.

Here in Canada, we got rid of the penny a few years ago. No problems like this FML anymore here. :D

People still whined for a while after that was introduced though! Because you didn't get your two cents back when you ordered your XL Double Double.

I worked at Tims then. It was such an issue!

What's her problem? I'm not even that cheap, and I'm in college!

How much did you have to spend to collect 50-80€ of change made up of 1/2/5 cents?...

Funny, my grandfather would probably go nuts too, certainly not for a penny, maybe a nickel or a dime. It's not the amount he says, but the principle.

Your grandfather is a smart, wise man.

I actually had the same thing happened few days ago. lady got pissed like I shirt changed her like $100

some people just want to be Dicks others just want their one extra penny.

For those of us non Americans, how much is a penny worth? 5 cents, 10 cents? How much are we talking here?

It's worth approximately 1/100th of a dollar. Ask a stupid question...

It's a cent. 100 cents to a dollar. Whether it's a stupid question depends where the asker is from. UK, it's silly as our pennies (official name, not nickname) are 1/100th of a Pound. Elsewhere, maybe they've just never heard it before.

Arwen_Evenstar - It's a stupid question because it would have taken 0.521 seconds to google it (I timed it).

I do believe you just took the time that Google said it took to search for your answer. So you did not time it. And you went out of your way to search it and post a comment. I do believe you are the idiot replying to a 'stupid' question.

I have awkward moments like that when the change is usually a penny because some people give them to you or they don't and I just stand there awkward to see if I am or not

I DO APOLOGISE, HERE IS YOUR PENNY!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Well, it all depends if you have the gerber life growup plan because you will save pennies a day
