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! "

You're yelling at someone who isn't a Best Buy employee for something which in most cases isn't Best Buy's fault? lol, somebody is a silly head.

Even if he was a real employee, he's working on the retail end for probably less than $10 an hour. He didn't make the TV, he didn't break the TV, he probably doesn't even know how to fix a TV. He's just trying to make some cash. Besides, a sales receipt does more than yelling ever could. How would you like it if I came to your place of work and started yelling at you for something you didn't do? It's just rude. I don't even screw with telemarketers anymore. I figure they hate their jobs more than I hate their jobs.

"Today, a customer left our store and swore never to return because another customer chewed him about about a defective TV we sold him. The Customer Service counter was 10 feet away. FOL."

Even if he was an actual employee, he didn't break your tv, asshole.

So you walked in and started screaming at the first " employee" you saw? Way to throw a temper tantrum like a five year old.

You probably forgot to plug the thing in, idiot. It doesn't take much effort to be a decent, respectful human being - some people definitely need to work on that.
