Fight and Work: Public freakout

Public freakout

By selfdefense - 12/10/2009 04:16 - United Kingdom

Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML

Today, after finally getting rid of an extremely rude, abusive customer, I muttered that I could kill people like her. I didn't know my manager had heard me, until a pair of police officers arrived. He'd reported me for "threatening to murder a customer". FML

Today, a customer at work made threats against me and my two-month old son. Instead of following policy by notifying the police, my manager apologized to him and told me to leave. FML

Anger issues much?

Today, my coworker got angry at a mean customer. She came to the back where I work and started punching the wall repeatedly. When I tried to intervene and stop her from breaking her hand, she punched me in the stomach and uppercut me. FML

Today, I got fired from my job. I caught a customer taking pictures up my skirt, and my boss fired me for calling the police and "making a big deal out of it". FML

Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML

Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML

Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML

Today, I briefly had the coolest boss in the world. He stormed over to a nasty customer who was giving me hell, and he absolutely laid into her. It lasted about 10 seconds before he collapsed from a major heart attack. A coworker's already blamed me for not pacifying the customer in the first place and causing all this to happen. FML

Appropriate force

Today, I'm recovering from being pepper-sprayed, beat with a baton and Tased, and arrested for assault. I'm a bouncer and was trying to remove a drunk asshole from the bar when the police showed up. FML

If the person is assaulting employees or other customers, they are no longer considered a customer.

Oh wow. That sucks. What did your boss expect? That you would let this guy beat the crap out of you and your co-worker? :S Oh those bosses these days.

Go to wrongfultermination.com and check it out. You have a right to defend yourself.

This FML would have been funnier if he threw some fecal matter at you before hitting you and your co-worker (and not his fecal matter, either).

fight it and sue for wrongful termination. also sue on the grounds of your boss being incompetent and sue the customer for assault and causing you to lose your job

Before calling others stupid maybe you should learn the difference between attacking a customer and defending yourself against a customer. Attacking means you are the aggressor and self-defense means the customer is the aggressor and you are protecting yourself from harm.

Eat a bullet, dipshit. Grammar and proper spelling are the basis for communicating on the internet. It isn't just homework to keep some teacher busy. I'll call you out all ******* day when you say something that ******* retarded.

Yeah dude... the ****'s wrong with you. ******* run-on sentence that just swears and says nothing insightful; while others came up with empathetic comments regarding "wrongful termination" and how "self defense" was necessary, you came up with "fuken employee handbook", "utter retard", and "learn to read". No wonder you got pwned by bds.

#28, do you really expect that almost incoherent reply to convince anyone you're a lawyer?

Get a lawyer. I'm pretty sure that even in the UK you're allowed to defend yourself if someone attacks you, in or out of work. Your boss is an ass.

Unfortunately in the UK we look at the law differently and our rights for self-defence are shit. There are loads of cases of people getting arrested for beating up someone who broke into their home. We're supposed to be good little citizens and wait for the police.
