Today, while at work as a cashier, one lady's total was $1.32. She handed me the dollar, and then apologized. When I looked at her, confused as to what she was sorry about, she went wrist deep into her bra, grabbed some change, and quickly put it into my hand. It was wet and it smelt. FML

I'm actually surprised this one got published. But it was 90 degrees out, and my hand smelt like boob sweat for a good half hour until I was able to go a scrub my hand clean.

I used to work in retail and it was so gross when people got money from their bra!! I know it's convenient but I don't want to touch your boob sweat, thanks.

Eww. I work at store, and Ive worked in coffee shops and I hate getting money from a bra or sock. Iwas telling my dad a couple days ago how gross it was. I used to keep my money in my shoe when I was in my teens, I feel so bad about it now

She apologized at least, but that's just nasty.

Smelled* sorry but it's a pet peeve of mine

Sorry, but an even bigger pet peeve of mine is when people correct others who aren't incorrect. It can be spelt (or spelled) "smelt" or "smelled."

Sorry, but you're supposed to "smelt" metals in blacksmithing and metallurgy (or in reference to the fish), it's proper to use "smelled" in reference to scents. And "spelt" is used in Britain, not here.

Personally I think spelt/smelt sound better than their -ed counterparts in some cases. Such as "his hand smelt of fish". Though in this FML I think smelled would sound better, but that doesn't mean that smelt is incorrect.

"In American and Canadian English, the verb smell makes smelled in the past tense and as a past participle. Outside North America, English speakers use smelled and smelt interchangeably, and neither form is significantly more common than the other. For North Americans, smelt usually means (1) to melt or fuse ores, and (2) any of several small, silvery fishes of the family Osmeridae found in fresh waters of the northern hemisphere. Smelt as a form of smell is not unheard of in North America, but it is rare (see the Ngram below), appearing mainly in the rhyming jocular expression whoever smelt it dealt it (and its variants). This ngram suggests that smelled may now be more common than smelt in British English (though this does not mean that smelt is wrong)" [sic]

The "we don't except boob or sock money" sign is a great invention...time to put one up... I could see a few dollars in her brassiere but not spare change...

Unless you're trying to encourage people to use boob and sock money, you may want your sign to read "We don't *accept* boob or sock money." Not trying to be a grammar nazi, just trying be helpful and make sure you get the sign you actually want and not the exact opposite!

Another reason I refuse to ever be a cashier. Lol

Screw the bleach. Time for fire! I'd try to burn those hands off and hopefully start fresh!

May want to get some germx, just incase that happens again.

you don't have hand sanitizer at your register? where i work every register has hand sanitizer, including the fuel center.

A lot of places don't have sanitizer at the clerk's station, especially not at Petrol stations. An old Asda I used to work for never had anything like that unless a manager paid for it themselves.

I mean, at least she apologized before hand. Someone else could have just as easily done it and then walk off without saying a word.

I said that and then FML messaged me and said I was trolling and had been warned.

If people are going to do that, the should use a sandwich bag and put it under the strap.
