The strangeness of strangers

By Hank Gummyworm - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was working the register at our local McDonald's. After a strange man left a massive order, he said, "Can I pay you in gummy worms?" FML

it's pretty funny how desperate people believe that FML is the new e-Harmony! :D but, OP, if you didn't want the gummy worms you could've passed them my way.

what are you guys talking about? you can't pay mcdo's stuff with just gummy worms! you would need gummy bears for that, gummy worms are just worth the ketchup, if you order a ton of stuff, then you'd need gummy bears.

what would each gummy worm be worth in terms of U.S. currency? 1gummy worm= $1.00 ? 1 sour gummy worm = $500.00 ?

Hey, why get paid in layers? Gummy worms, you KNOW are beast, cheaper and more per bag, and were around longer... is there a word for someone who's an expert on gummy worms? haha

Isn't it suppose to be, "Can I pay you in gum?" Followed by OP's co-worker looking down with a sad face while saying, "No one ever pays me in gum."

Not just any gum, though. Trident Layers or no deal!

no, gummy worms tastes more squiggly-ish than gummy bears. gummy bears are just way better.

gummy worms are more sour and gummy bears sent sour at all. that makes them taste worse.

159, firstly, I have yet to see an actual funny comment from you. secondly, you don't smoke what you sell... that's like breeding with your own children, sick and wrong. -_- I don't even smoke and I know this, maybe, you should learn this.

tweetbaby what does smoking what you sell have anything what so ever to do what she said?

2 2
tweetbaby14 18

okay, I'll explain this to you, as simple as I can: good sellers do not get the munchies because good sellers focus on the money not being high. she said "if the seller has munchies..." implying they're smoking their supply. if you're old enough to be on FML, you should be old enough to put two and two together, buddy....
