Today, I was working retail when a group of older gentlemen came in looking for a good sound system. I showed them a top-range system and gushed about it in detail, trying to close the sale. One of them snorted and said, "See Dave, girls like her are the reason ball gags were invented." FML

Today, I was trying sell a customer a top-of-the-line surround sound system. Apparently he was aware that I work on commission, as he threatened to buy the system elsewhere unless I sang Rebecca Black's "Friday" in front of the whole store. Goodbye, self-respect. FML

Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML

Today, I was at the store when I saw two extremely hot girls. I walked into their aisle and they looked at me and smiled. I stopped and pretended to look at something so I could listen to what they were saying. They started laughing and walked away. It turned out I was reading a box of tampons. FML

Toxic much?

Today, while out shopping, I could hear what sounded like two grown men talking about me, and they were being pretty gross. I turned around to scold them and it turned out being a dad and his 13-year-old son. He said he was, "teaching a son to be a man", and that my ass was "grounds for discussion." FML

A cashier's life

Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML

Today, I was at the store buying some feminine products. At the cash register, the clerk said to me "Dude, you know those are for girls right?" I am a 30 year old woman. FML

Catchy turn of phrase

By boinger - 03/06/2009 05:23 - United States

Today, I meant to express to my friends that I was enamored with a young saleswoman I had encountered at a store. I wanted to tell them that she was quite petite and that I am, in general, attracted to petite women. Instead I said, "You know? I like little girls." FML

Today, I went into a music store to look into getting a new guitar. I picked up one that I was interested in and tried it out quietly. A sales representative approached me and asked me to "stop the noise and leave the guitars for serious customers." I've been playing for almost ten years. FML

Today, I went downtown with my friends. A group of guys came up to us and started hitting on everyone except me. Then one of them said, "Do you girls hang out with her to make yourselves look better?" FML

Today, I was at a gas station when the cash register made a sound effect similar to one from Sonic the Hedgehog, and I pointed this out. The cashier then saw fit to go on a rant about how I need to stop focusing on video games, and get a life and a girlfriend. FML

It's both an s&m thing and a torture device. Generally s&m, so it was kind of a perverted comment about how she probably talks a lot during sex too.

I'd say it's more patronising than perverted, saying that she talks so much generally people were compelled to inventing the ball gag

It's a ball that you stick in someones mouth to prevent them from talking/screaming to loud most times during sex some times they have holes in them so one can place ones dick in and they can't refuse said dick hope this helped :)

Perhaps next time your aging grandparents visit you should spend time with them instead of spend it gaming. He probably was doing it in hopes that you could talk or spend time together. So, YDI

57 - remember that one episode where Drake sang "The girl next door is not the girl next door"? I'm still confused about it.

Wow, I'd have gotten the manager for sure to deal with that. Honestly, you could file harassment charges. You don't have to take abuse like that from customers. I'm in retail believe me I know. I'd have screamed and said oh my god how dare you touch me there, help, help. Maybe then jerks like that will learn.

So you would invent a rape charge? Girls like you are the worst kind of people; the man was rude but he didn't break any laws. Pressing for harrassment charges is an extremely petty and immature way to act that just shows that you have no idea how to respond like an adult to a situation like that

125: While I agree that it's a bad, bad idea to pretend something happened that didn't (it's stories like that that create a culture of disbelief for people who ARE assaulted), the OP was indeed sexually harassed. Women have the right to do their job without disgusting comments like that.
