Paranoid

By MaddyN - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Forest Grove

Today, I almost got fired from work because a customer complained that I "threw up gang signs" at him. I was blocking the sun from my eyes. FML

Clearly, this person is blinded by their prejudice. I'm glad things worked out for OP before the situation for heated.

Perhaps the customer should have warmed up to the thought that OP simply had no burning negative feelings toward him.

Misunderstandings. He saw an accident about to happen and screamed "he'll hit her!"

Have you ever been to Earth? It's like a rule of life, if stupidity can be applied, then it will eventually be applied to such an extreme it will hurt your mind.

I'm unaccepting the challenge on 34's behalf. It's too early in the morning for anyone to properly deal with stupidity.

That's messed up. I remember a while back about cops roughing up or shooting a deaf fella cause they thought he was using gang signs.

OP may not be allowed to carry sunglasses if his work's dress code prohibits it.

With sunglasses on, OP can start making one liners to... make light of the situation.

Just because they're so ghetto that they expect everything to be gang related doesn't mean you should be fired

This comment is completely ignorant. Someone from an impoverished area with a lot of gang activity, or as you like to call it the "ghetto" would know better than to think that shading your eyes from the sun is a gang sign. The customer in this FML sounds like the type to label any and everything as gang-related or ghetto......

Are you ******* stupid? That's exactly what happened. They mistook OP shading her eyes as a gang sign. And as you said in your last sentence, the customer in this FML sounds like the type to consider all things gang related, which is what I said in my comment you dumb ****.

Haha damn bro I'm a waste of skin because of a comment I made on a website? You take this stuff way too serious lol. And to the other I guy, I get what you were saying,". You we're saying that anyone from the ghetto would know if it was a gang sign or not right?
