Today, I held the door open for a woman and her kids on my way out of the bank. She started accusing me of patronizing her, and when I just let go of the door in protest, she deliberately leaned in so it hit her in the face. I felt the glares from the entire bank as she pretended to cry. FML

Today, I was leaving the grocery store when an old woman started yelling at me for not holding the door open for her. She accused me of being "everything wrong with the younger generation". It was an automatic door. FML

Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. FML

Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML

Today, at work, I decided to try and impress this girl walking behind me by holding the door open for her. As she was walking through, I inadvertently pulled the door too hard. It slammed against the wall and ricochet back, hitting her right in the face. FML

Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML

Child labor

Today, I was dining out with friends. I saw a mom instructing her young child to go to empty tables and take whatever cash had been left. I discreetly told the manager. He confronted the woman and pointed right at me. As she was being thrown out, she tossed a very heavy mug at my head. It hit me. FML

She should join the Italian national soccer team, she'd fit in just fine

I think you mean the Netherlands national team. Did you not see that overly dramatic fall near the end of Mexico's game with them? She'd fit right in with her fake stunts.

Too bad you didn't say, upon her crying, "She's just mad because I told her about the rash I gave her last night".

People are assholes. Just remember if she's that desperate for attention she must have a pretty miserable life

Wow. What a bitch. I feel sorry for her kids for having such a stupid attention seeking mom. She's probably single too.

No good deed goes unpunished! I hope you don't let one ungrateful bitch put you off holding the door for people in future, I don't know about other people but when someone actually takes the time to do that for me it always makes me smile, even if i'm having a really shitty day.
