Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. Turns out his dad is the asshole customer that I complain about all the time. He recognized me too and spent the entire dinner making passive-aggressive remarks about how bad of an employee I am. FML

Watch out for the New Year
It's time to say goodbye to the current year, but when the goodbye goes wrong, it's a different story. Be careful, you might want to stay at home. More…

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. After hundreds passive aggressive comments, my boyfriend and I went into the kitchen. I started complaining to him about how his parents were horrible and mean. Little did I know, his parents had followed us in and were right behind me. FML

Today, my parents met my boyfriend for the first time. They spent the entire meal trying to convince him to dump me, all while I was sitting right next to him. FML

Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML

Welcome to the family!

Today, I met my new boyfriend’s parents, hoping that they would like me. They made subtle, mean comments during dinner and made me feel like total crap, all because my boyfriend left his ex-wife for me. They don’t get that we’re both good and compatible for each other, and that’s what matters. FML

Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

Today, I had dinner for the first time with my boyfriend's parents. It was awkward enough without his mom asking, "So, what do you do for fun, besides my son?" FML

Today, after meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time, I found out that he, his sister and their father enjoy talking loudly over the person who is currently talking, because what anyone else says is not worth listening to. FML

Meh, it doesn't have to be anything epic, there are just some people who treat you so incredibly disrespectfully that you will always remember them. Bark at you, never respond to anything nice you say, act pissy if the system takes too long for them, absolutely lose their shit whenever you have to tell them no due to things out of your control.

Man, I don't understand people saying "maybe you'll be able to get on if you're nice enough!" No. Someone who is consistantly an arsehole to someone in customer service, then can't restrain from being nasty at dinner with them is not going to come around. Good luck with that one, op. :/

Wow, that's ridiculous. And childish. I feel bad for OP and the boyfriend's whole family for having to put up with him. If he honestly thinks you're that horrible at your job, all he needs to do is avoid your register/area while you're working. No need to ask for your service just to be a jerk, and certainly no need to bring it up in a completely unrelated setting. He should take the time to get to know you as a person. I know some of the cashiers at my grocery store pretty well, and a few of them are really nice people but horrible cashiers. I've never felt the need to go through their registers and be an asshole to them... I usually just go through a different line and say hi on the way out. That way I don't get frustrated with them, they don't get made to feel bad, and we can be friendly instead of hating each other. Everyone wins. I just wish more people had this attitude instead of the father's attitude...
