Health, Embarrassing and Work: Sorry…

Sorry…

Today, I was working at Old Navy. A girl came up to me and did a bizarre dance. Not knowing how to react, I imitated her to be friendly with the customer. Then she stopped cold. Her friend stormed up to me and yelled, "You jerk! Why are you making fun of her? She has Tourette's, you know!" FML

A cashier's life

Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML

Today, I was at a restaurant, and I saw my friend. When we made eye contact, I made a creepy face at her and twitched my arms to make her laugh. A woman looked over said sadly, "Oh my God, that poor girl!" She thought I was "special." FML

Today, I got bitched out by some lady in a Walmart because I looked at her funny while she was on the phone, loudly bragging about "slapping the shit out of" her kids. FML

What the…?

Today, whilst in the break room at work, a girl I don’t know walked into the room. She gave me a look of utter disgust, then turned and walked back out of the room. I was so shocked, I burst out laughing. FML

Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML

Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Chill out, Carol

Today, a very large lady was sitting down and panting as she watched me stock the bottom shelves at my store. Apparently, being able to squat down and stand back up repeatedly means I'm mocking her, and she threatened to report me to corporate. FML

Today, I was shopping in the mall. A cute store worker kept checking me out, so after I picked a few things I went up to her and started flirting. After a few seconds, she cut me off and said, "Actually I was watching you because you look like someone who would shoplift." FML

Today, although I can't dance, I decided to go to a club. A really cute girl asked me to dance, and I politely declined. She kept insisting, so I finally said okay. A few minutes in, she stopped, looked at me, and said, "If you're going to make fun of my dancing, I'm leaving." FML

You absolutely disgust me. If you still have your job, consider yourself VERY lucky. You're in need of some serious sensitivity training. I work with people with disabilities and I've had people fired for far less than that.

get over yourself. I work with disabled people and I still wouldn't get someone fired for this. what's wrong with you? you're complaining about sensitivity when you completely lack empathy

#11 Get over yourself, not everyone works with disabled people and is instantly able to recognize who has what disability. WTF else was this guy supposed to do? How was he supposed to know?

#11 Shut the **** up. Your the kinda person that sickens me. Do you know there are many genetic disorders that people CANNOT tell from the outside appearance? There are people out there who are ignorant to these things. Your the kinda asshole I flame everyday for this kinda shit. ******* stupid bitch.

#12: Exactly, how the hell is this guy supposed to react? Especially if he didn't know about the tourette's? I don't think there's any way he could have responded to that that wouldn't have gotten the same crap from the bitch that berated him.

#11 People like you who think just because someone has some disability that they deserve special treatment and "sensitivity" piss me off. If everyone just acted like it was normal and joked about it (dancing with someone with has a similar tourettes issue) then people wouldnt get so upset about it.

I agree 100% . I've got Tourettes but at least I know how to laugh about it . it pisses me off when disabled people always bitch that they want to be treated the same as everyone else yet they demand special treatment? biggest crock of shit I've ever heard .

I agree completely I'm autistic among many other things. I HATE it when people give me special treatment. It's one if many of my pet peeves.

I agree. I'm hard of hearing, and have a learning disability. I don't get why some complain about wanting to be treated the same but want special treatment. I don't want special treatment, never have unless it gets me out of something I don't like.

Wow, people need to chill the **** out... how would you know she had Tourettes? You didn't know her already, and you were thrown off by the odd dance, so you did what you thought would make the customer feel comfortable... you were trying to relate. If you KNEW she had Tourettes, it'd be a different story. I'm on your side with this. #11 - Calm down. Did you read the whole thing? He obviously didn't know she had Tourettes. #4 - lol!
