Health: Today, one of our regular customers came in and was telling me...

Today, one of our regular customers came in and was telling me he bought an assault rifle. I told him not to go off his meds and shoot up the store, as a joke. Later, my manager told me that the guy is on antidepressants and was discharged from the military for being "mentally unfit." FML

Today, one of my customers told me he was going to kill himself when I explained to him that I wasn't going to be able to deliver him the gallon of milk he wanted. I work in a pharmacy, dispensing medication. FML

Today, a customer threatened to come back later and shoot the whole place up. Why? I didn't give him a discount on his beer. My boss's reaction when I called the police: "Why didn't you give him the discount?!" Last week he bitched me out for letting a girl off for being a few cents short on hers. FML

Today, while working in my pharmacy, a patient told me that he sometimes wants to jump the counter and skin me alive. He has no more refills, and his doctor is out of town for the week. FML

Today, a customer's credit card was declined. His totally reasonable reaction was to threaten to put a bullet in the back of my head. FML

Today, after finally getting rid of an extremely rude, abusive customer, I muttered that I could kill people like her. I didn't know my manager had heard me, until a pair of police officers arrived. He'd reported me for "threatening to murder a customer". FML

Today, my short-tempered, alcoholic boyfriend proudly showed me the rifle he bought. This guy regularly swears at his own sneezes and often flies into fits of rage because it's hard to get his shoe on. Time to move out. FML

Unfair

Today, I was dismissed because of my company's strict "no drugs" policy. Yesterday, I had a talk with my team leader and confessed that I have to take antidepressants; this arse then reported it to the management, and they fired me because they are not aware of what these pills contain, and it could affect my performance.

Today, a customer came into the store I work at to ask why I hadn't killed myself yet. A month prior, that same customer told me to kill myself. All I did was compliment her shirt. FML

How does someone who's mentally unfit get a licence to an assault rifle. I'd change jobs! He'll be baaack

#5 kevlar would not do a thing to protect you from an assault rifle. Those bullets would kill you in seconds. You'd need one of those ceramic vests they use in the military. Not that i support the military.

mrdotkom, go to hell. Support the military, even if you don't support the war. They're the ones who are fighting over seas to keep you safe HERE. Asshole. Unless the guy got he rifle illegally, I call a fake. You can't have a license if you're on ANY kind of mood altering drugs.

Agreed. They won't let you have a gun for bring dishonorably discharged

Just because he was mentally unfit doesn't mean he was dishonorably discharged, but if you mean on general yes, they cannot own guns.

Don't assume anything too easily. Really, just don't say the first thing that comes to your mind. Think twice before you say something possibly rude or hurtful.

This is why we do not joke about mental-health issues. Ever. it's the same as physical health issues. Your brain (the part where you have chemical imbalances that affect emotions) is a body organ, right? But definitely, alert the cops that this person bought an assault rifle. You may well be doing him a favor.

Jesus people, there is a difference between HAVING DEPRESSION and MURDERING PEOPLE. Though he could shoot himself.

#13 is right, if he was discharged as mentally unfit for service he couldn't get a weapon legally to save his life. There's no one who would sell a rifle to someone like that.

@15 "But definitely, alert the cops that this person bought an assault rifle. You may well be doing him a favor." Or you may send him over the edge so he starts shooting people. Sorry but the cops nowadays shoot first and ask questions later. That's all they need is a tip that someone has an assault rifle and you'll see the guy on the evening news for getting shot up. Look at the little old lady who was shot because the cops got a tip that there was a drug dealer in her house. They didn't knock and blew her away.
