Today, I went to a new deli in town. While waiting in line, I hadn't made up my mind on what to order, so I let the guy behind me go instead. Turns out he was the hundredth customer, and they gave him his lunch for free. FML

Today, while standing in line at a local Mexican fast food place, I was feeling generous and let a little kid behind me go in front. Turns out he had a list, and was ordering food for his whole family. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my food. FML

Today, I went in the diner I always pass by and ordered a sandwich. When I asked how much it was, the waitress replied, "Don't worry, honey. We give free meals to the homeless on Thursdays." I was too ashamed to deny it, so I just said thank you and left. FML

Today, after standing in line for most of my lunch break just to buy food, some asshole with a cart full of stuff cut in front of me. He claimed that he was there the whole time, and the whole line, plus the cashier backed him up. I missed lunch. FML

Today, I was waiting in line for what seemed like forever at the only open lane at the grocery store. The guy in front of me took his sweet time and had multiple cards rejected, before finally pulling out a $100 bill and demanding exact change. He was buying a carton of milk. FML

Today, a customer complained he never got his sandwich, even though I put it in the oven, dressed it up and served it to him. When I went to clear his table off, I saw the sandwich basket. We had to give him his money back. FML

Today, whilst working at Subway, I took an order for 6 footlongs. The entire process took 15 minutes due to the customer's hesitant and glacial pace. When it came to paying, he pulled out his wallet, looked inside, looked at me, and walked quickly out of the store. FML

Today, during lunch, my coworker offered me her food, claiming she was full. I was still quite hungry, so I accepted it. Halfway through eating the sandwiches, my boss walked in and started interrogating people over who took his lunch. I quickly realized I was the one eating it. FML

Today, I decided to work on my social anxiety by ordering some food. I waited in line, practicing my order in my head all the way. When I got to the front, I said my order with no mistakes. The cashier just stared blankly at me until I mumbled, "Never mind..." and left. FML

Yay! I wish more crap like that would happen to indecisive people. Make a quick decision and live with it! If you screw up, come back next week and try again.

No such thing as a free lunch.

Yeah, there is. . . if you are the 100th customer. I guess it's not "free" because the other 99 customers really pay for it.

Technically, #30 is right because the Deli did pay for the stuff to make the lunch.

It's ok, you wouldn't have been able to decide what you would have wanted for a free lunch anyway.

I'd slap a bitch! The bitch who was taking orders that didn't see that you were in fact the 100th.

The 100th in line, not the 100th customer.

Did you not read the FML? OP didn't order, therefore OP would not have been counted. The man who was behind OP got the prize because he actually ordered something.

Omg! Wow so you get to pay $8 and now feel the need to write an fml. It's not as of you didn't already expect to pay. There is no real out of pocket expense here.

Oh wow that really sucks like wow imagine that having to pay for your food, well don't sink too low into depression after having your dreams of a free meal dashed to pieces. I mean that is what this site is for right? People who have to pay for their lunch and feel sad about it?
