Today, at work, I saw a lady leave her infant in a display crib so she could go shopping. When I stopped her and told her she couldn't do that, she said, "Well, I do it all the time." FML

Today, while shopping, a lady came up to me and asked if she could borrow my baby because, "Y'know, I'm in a hurry and they'll let me checkout first." FML

Today, I spent an hour setting up a delicate display stand at work. Not five minutes later, a woman barged in with her little kid, who immediately went up to the display and tipped the whole thing over. When I called attention to the mother, she just scoffed, "Isn't this your job?" and left. FML

Today, while I was shopping, I spotted a lady who had the last of an item I wanted in her cart. She went off to the dressing room, so seeing my opportunity, I went and grabbed it from her cart, and put it in mine. I hadn't noticed her bratty-ass daughter next to the cart, who then yelled, “I saw that! Mommy! Some lady's stealing from your cart!” FML

Today, I had a shift as a carer in a high-rise disability home, and working with a lady whom was once a midwife. She had a toy baby, and was rocking it. When I asked her what she was going to do what the baby so she could come to lunch, she casually threw the baby off the balcony and shrugged. FML

Today, at work, I was taking a woman's measurements while she held her screaming baby. To silence the infant, she whipped out her breast right there and started feeding him. Moments later, he puked breast milk all over my desk. FML

Today, I was waitressing at work, when a woman decided to change her baby's nappy on a table. One moment I was asking her to leave, and the next, she was shoving a fully shat-out nappy into my hands. She asked me to get rid of it and fetch her baby wipes. FML

Today, my boss pulled me aside to chastise me for being "off task" because I was chatting with a co-worker while working on a project. She then spent a half hour chatting with the same person about what daycare she should go to for her new baby. FML

Today, I overheard a lady tell her child in a store that, “If you don’t stop crying, I’ll tell that guy over there to take you away.” She was referring to me. FML

Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML

Today, I went clothes shopping. I took my little daughter into the dressing room while I tried some clothes on. She somehow managed to open the door while I was changing. A lady outside then bitched me out for "exposing" myself to her kids. FML

And then one day she goes back to get her child, and it's not there....wonder how she will feel then.

She would be screaming and causing a huge scene of "Where is my baby!?" then sue the crap out of the company.

They had to get rid of the play area in the mall I work at for the same reason. Parents kept leaving their children in there by themselves so they could shop.

This is actually more of a "**** Her Life", than a "**** My Life". How does this situation affect your life in any way? Other than posting it on a FML website?

And you didn't give her some sort of spiel? (I'm thinking something along the lines of the mother abandoning and forfeiting the right to her infant, and the company being allowed to use him/her as needed for advertising or display. I know it's probably messed up, but the mother would probably stop doing shit like that. I'd hope.)

OP, this is why I work overnights; I rarely see customers. Its quiet, peaceful and almost all of the shift gets along. Most good I did was call animal control for a dog locked in a car, no windows door and thr ac wasn't on. But working 3rd shify also helps with grocery shopping! I'm out of the store in 10-15 minutes once it opens.
