Today, I bought a brand new flat screen TV. When I brought it home it didn't work. Furious, I walked into Best Buy and yelled at a guy in a tucked in blue polo and khakis. I asked him why it didn't work and he said he didn't know. I kept screaming. He didn't have a nametag. He didn't work there. FML

Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML

Today, I bought a brand new TV that cost a pretty penny. I took it home and it had a defect. After a lot of arguing, I was able to exchange the TV for another one. I got it home and it worked amazing. Later on, we had a bad rainstorm, which flooded my room and screwed up not only my new TV, but my PS5, Xbox, and laptop. FML

Today, I walked into Best Buy to buy a 42" widescreen TV I'd been saving up for many months. As I walked in, a man stopped me and handed me my wallet that I'd accidentally dropped. I thanked him. Five minutes later at the checkout, I opened up my wallet to realize it was empty. He had stolen everything. FML

Today, I was chewed out by a lady who claimed the laptop she bought wouldn't turn on, and that she wanted a refund. She yelled and shoved the laptop at me, not even listening when I told her I didn't even work at that store. FML

Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML

Lost

Today, I got lost at Best Buy. Meanwhile, my mom freaked out, and they called out my name over the intercom. When I walked up to the desk and they saw I was 17, the employees burst out laughing. FML

Today, I went to a store to buy a 43-inch TV that was on sale. The sale was so good that they sold out on the floor. I went to guest services and asked the employee if they had any in the back. She literally went to the back of the room, let out this god awful fart, came back out and said, “Sorry, we don’t.” FML

Even if he had a name tag, why would you yell at him? "Hey, you work here! You must know exactly what's wrong with the TV I bought from some other employee a while ago! "

It's likely not a problem with the T.V. You seem to be really, really stupid, so I'm betting you forgot to plug it in.

you are a jerk, you probably did something wrong and that's why it won't work, if the TV is broken, well best buy isn't gonna screw you over, just EXCHANGE IT, NO YELLING REQUIRED MORON.

Hah! What a putz, it's people like you that make the genuinely good/smart people (think everything you're not) want to take all you people out and re-create the world...lol, sorry I got a little carried away. Anyways, it's also the people like you that come in that myself or boyfriend (we both work at Best Buy), put in their place when they act like a flaming jack-hole that think they deserve everyones respect, no matter how they are acting. You just happened to get a little taste of your own jack-holeishness (or at least I hope that made you realize you're a complete tool, although I'm sure it didn't), I'm only sorry the guy you yelled at didn't do anything back.

Chill. There was no reason to be furious and start yelling. Shit happens. Sometimes stuff doesn't work. That's why they have return policies.

Lmao! I agree with #11and #13 on this one. "Today, as I cruised through my local Best Buy, a random man who I've never seen before starts yelling at me about how his new tv doesn't work. He screams at me, "Why don't you know how to fix it?!?!!" I reply with, "Uhm..I don't know." He then storms off and walks away. I later then realized he thought I worked there. I've never worked at Best Buy in my life. FML." Or something like that. This is so something I can see a member of my family doing. Try and look for the nametag next time. Also, yelling honestly doesn't solve one thing. It usually just makes things worse. Good thing he wasn't really an employee there. Because if that was me you were yelling at... you wouldn't even be writing this FML. Which is more of a FHL.
