Today, while bagging at a grocery store, a customer had me use some canvas bags he'd brought with him. This wouldn't have been a problem had they not reeked strongly of cat piss. FML

Today, I rang up a very rude customer. He was covered in cat hair and so were his reusable shopping bags. I’m very allergic to cats. FML

Today I had a customer come into my office smelling like feces, urine and body odor. I tried not to get sick to my stomach but failed miserably. I threw up in my trash can in front of him. It now smells like feces, urine, body odor and vomit in here. FML

Foul

By cdubb27 - 11/10/2010 06:00 - United States

Today, while at the gym, I noticed a foul smell while on elliptical machine. I figured it was the little old lady on the machine next to me. It was so bad I had to leave. When I got in my truck, I realized the smell had followed me. It was me. My cat had pissed on my workout clothes. FML

Basic bitch

Today, a customer yelled at me because I gave her a wrinkled bag. I work in retail, and the bags are all cheap plastic. She wouldn't stop, even when I gave her three different bags. FML

Training day

By smalls727 - 22/11/2016 17:46

Today, I was at orientation for my new job. There were only 6 other people in the training. Throughout the whole entire training, I kept smelling cat piss and moved further away from the other person, only to later get in my car and realize my cat had peed in my purse. FML

Today, I came home after a short trip. Walking through the door, an overpowering smell indicated that in my rush to leave I'd forgotten to bring the cat litter tray indoors. The place was covered in cat urine. It was as if I'd created a cycling ecosystem of evaporated urine turning into urine rain-clouds. FML

Today, for the third time this week, I had to clean up after someone who pissed themselves in the beer aisle at the grocery store where I work. FML

Don't engage with the nutjobs

Today, a customer came to make a return - a bag full of clothes without tags that weren’t from our store. I kindly told her she couldn’t return them. She had a full blown meltdown, pulled down her pants, urinated and defecated on the ground. Security escorted her out. My coworker and I had to clean it up. FML

Today, the entire back room of Walmart smelled like cat piss. No one else complained, as they all claimed they couldn’t smell a thing under their masks. I, on the other hand, have a headache and nausea from the overpowering scent despite my mask. FML

Deliverude

Today, I had to take a delivery to a known hoarder. I was braced for the sight of the house, but not the naked fat guy and the smell of dead cat when he answered the door. To top it off, they didn't even tip me. FML

Dude you're allowed to refuse them, especially if it can be classified as a health hazard. If you had been allergic to cats (as I am) that could've put you in hospital.

The bag smells like cat piss, looks like he let the cat out of the bag.

I feel a little sorry for you because of the few minutes you are subjected to the stench of cat piss. I feel sorrier for the poor schmuck in Customer Service who will soon get blasted by an irate customer claiming your store sells food that tastes like cat piss!

I once had that happen. I told my customer "diddles went piddles in your bag." She was very embarrassed for not noticing it but we had a good laugh about it anyway.

Oh God, something similar happened to me once when I was doing some volunteering. The lady's bag stank of old Indian food and to my horror, I realised that my hands got covered in days old curry juice. Had to ask a colleague to cover for me while I went to wash my hands 2 or 3 times. Disgusting. FYL indeed.

When someone becomes a hoarder (or has a brain full of Toxoplasma gondii) they become immune to the smell of cat pee. Or maybe the asshole can't smell much anyway. Either way, I pity them for caring that little.

This is the fault of Capitalism. Unless they can profit from bag upgrading or whatever, a capitalist's goal is to give out the least for the most. Hence cat per bags.
