Today, I accidentally asked the cashier at Wendy's how much their 99 cent chicken nuggets were. I guess he is still laughing at me. FML

Today, I saw a man help an elderly lady with her tray at the local McDonald's. I wanted to do something nice for him, so I added a couple extra nuggets in his meal. He later came up to me and told me I was dumb and didn't know how to count, and that was why I was working at McDonald's. FML

Today, while I was working at McDonald's, a man and his wife ordered a Sundae. I gave the guy his sundae and realized I'd forgotten something. I said, "One second sir. Let me grab your nuts." I realized what I said when his wife gave me the death glare. FML

Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML

Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML

Today, while working at McDonald's, a woman asked me what came on a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit. Trying not to laugh, I respond, "Bacon, egg, and cheese." She then realizes the stupidity of her question, and launches three dollars worth of quarters at my face and says, "Laugh at that, jerk." FML

Today, working as a cashier, I had a customer come through and ask to purchase a bag of ice. I asked, "Eight pound or twenty pound?", referring to the clearly marked weight of the bags. He replied, "What's the difference?" FML

If you say "five" you might get a bonus nugget for yourself!

The customer may always be right, but they are usually also pretty dumb.

I've noticed people in food service get a lot of questions like that. It's either that or "what are your chicken nuggets made of"

This reminds me of people asking how much items are when in the 'pound shop'. I swear they do it for laughs sometimes but I'm sure it's very frustrating from your side!

I bet you work at Wendy's (I work there too) and people come thru and order something from either Arby's, Chick-fil-A, or McDonald's

when I worked at McDonald's, people came in daily and asked for a whopper. After months of asking if they meant a Big Mac, I would just put their order in as a Big Mac. No one ever complained at least. People just get confused sometimes. I'm not sure how, but they do.

I have that to. ( I work at McDonald's currently) the worst part is that some people are dead serious and are confused when I say we don't sell them.

I did that once to the poor McDonald's employee. I felt so bad for being stupid that the next day I went Burger King and ordered a Big Mac. The only problem with that is, the poor guy was so confused because he couldn't find the Big Mac on his key board.

When worked at a fast food restaurant, i was once asked if the bacon in a burger was vegan. The customers in these places are just special.

The customer was probably spaced out, it happens to me all the time until I realize...

Today, I drove past a firehouse that had volunteer firemen taking collections. I take out a $20 and start to roll the window down when I remember my window was broken. I ended up driving by, holding the $20 against the window, staring at the fireman. Now the fireman thinks I was taunting him. FML

Today, at work one of my co-worker was oddly nice to me; and my boss, who usually always says hi to me, didn't look or speak to me. Later that day I found out that I was going to be fired, not because my boss told me but because my picture was missing from the wall of employees. FML

Today, I learned my dad is the kindest, most generous, hard-working soul anyone has ever met. He'll give someone the shirt off his back if they need help. Except for us, his immediate family, whom he screams and cusses at daily, expects to do everything ourselves, and thinks we're incompetent when we need help. FML

Today, I finally shared some of my insecurities and difficulties I’m experiencing with a close friend. The response was great, they listened, and gave advice. Later I met another friend, who said that they’re here for me. Everyone was just trying to help, but now almost everyone I know knows. I feel worse than before. FML

Today, the guy I'm dating found out I have severe arachnophobia. He downloaded a picture of a huge, hairy spider and set it as background on my iPhone. I can't even unlock my phone, as every time I try, the spider pops up and I drop the phone. He laughs every time I do it. FML
