Today, at work, a little girl came in and asked if we had any dance clothes. As I showed her, I asked if she was in a competition. When she said yes, I crossed my fingers and told her I hoped she would win. Unfortunately, I didn't cross them properly and I accidentally gave her the finger. FML

Hi all! Original poster here. I understand most of you don't think it's possible to accidentally stick your finger up instead of crossing them, but it's kind of an in group joke with all of my work friends that we flip the bird to each other. I guess habit took over! I am so ashamed, but at least she didn't realise what it meant and her mother wasn't around!

Well, let's hope she's too young to know what it means.

I'm still trying to figure out how crossing your fingers looks anything like flicking someone off. Sure you weren't subconsciously resentful? Working in retail can do that to people.

How do you accidentally give someone the bird? Big difference between crossing them and flipping a little girl off. Good luck with the angry mumma beat that's sure to follow

By that i meant the FML was strange, not fake. Just making that clear.

You flipped off a sweet little dancing girl? What's wrong with you, OP? Did ya kick any puppies or knock the canes out from under any sweet little old ladies, too? Hope I never come into your store if I'm ever in the market for a tutu.

You'd better hope Chris Hanson wasn't watching. He doesn't care if you slipped that little girl a finger accidentally or whether it took weeks on online seduction, he just wants To Catch a Predator.
