Today, I was chatting with a customer who comes regularly to my job. He sticks his hand out and I put my hand on his, thinking he's giving me a high five. He was just waiting for his receipt. FML

Today, I went to a café and got some soup. When I was done, a nice waiter came over and offered to take my mostly empty soup bowl. I quickly ate the last of it, looked up smiling and said, "Thanks!" The soup dribbled out of my mouth and onto his hand. FML

Today, while eating with my kids at McDonalds, my son put his hand up and wanted me to give him a "high five." I went to give him a five, but he moved his hand at the last second and I ended up slapping him in the face. Now everyone there thinks I'm a child-beater. FML

Today, at work, I watched a man throw up in his hands, dump the contents on his plate, then eat the things it "didn't touch." I had to wash his plate. FML

Nice try

By Peel - This FML is from back in 2008 but it's good stuff - France

Today, while I was leaving a restaurant, the very handsome waiter, whom I had been trying to hit on all night, said to me, in front of everyone, "Why did you write your phone number on the table with hearts around it? You know I won't call you." FML

Today, I was checking out a customer who seemed quite friendly. As I finished, he reached slightly over the counter and I impulsively reached out and shook his hand. He gave me a dumbfounded look and said, "Can I have my change please?" FML

Near the knuckle

Today, as a waitress I served someone who was hoping their food would come back faster than expected. I replied, “Fingers crossed!” just for the person to show me they had no hands. FML

Kinda funny. What made you think it was for a high five? Have you never been out to eat before?

Well doesn't the waiter usually pick up the plate, or say something? Instead of just holding their hand out in silence?

#4 : Agreed OP, FYL. And isn't the waiter supposed to take the plates himself ?

Maybe they shouldn't accept it as an FML, it's FML's fault *them tune from X-Files* I had a good one about Diarrhea they didn't accept it...

#5 agreed. The waiter is meant to take your plate, not get you to hand it to him

Uhm what? That's not an FML. #4: This isn't funny, or that embarassing. We don't expect tragedies but neither do we wanna see some lame bullshit. "Oh, I high-fived a waiter but it turned out that he wanted my plate!". Boo-*******-hoo. If you want lame stories then make a site of your own. This just really proves how so many people devalue their lives for pathetic incidents. I'm gonna go break my favorite pencil and write here because now my life really sucks and I'm depressed. Grow up people, and be sympathetic towards those who have serious issues or those who truly have something worth sharing. Seriously. Stop making the tiniest issues so damn dramatic.
