Money: Today, my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant so I could apply...

Today, my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant so I could apply for a job, and we decided to eat there. After we finished, I went to start the car. When we got home, I asked him how much the bill came to. Apparently he didn't pay. I had already given them my completed application. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. When it came time for us to leave, I saw him write something on the receipt for our waitress. I managed to get a quick look; it was his number. FML

Today, I went out with a friend to grab some food and we were served by this really cute and fun waiter. Stepping out of my comfort zone and deciding to do something crazy, I left my phone number on the bill. I got home only to realize that I forgot to pay the bill. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner date. Our waitress was really sweet, so we talked about leaving her a big tip. When we got home, we discovered we both thought the other person had left it. FML

Today, my boyfriend came to my work, at a drive thru, in my car, and then got mad at me because I wouldn't give him free food. In his anger, he put my car in reverse and backed out of line very quickly, only to smash into a paying customer. FML

Today, I was on a first date. When the bill came, he refused to pay for my $6 salad. I had to go ATM-hunting to pay for my $6 salad. FML

Today, my boyfriend was seated in my section at work. As he sees me his face drops... he's on a date. He had forgotten I work there. I had to serve him and his date, and they didn't leave a tip. FML

Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. FML

Today, I went to Waffle House to talk to the manager about getting a job. My boyfriend now wants to beat up the manager for giving me his number so that I can call him whenever I'm done filling in the application. FML

Date night

Today, I got into a heated argument at a restaurant with a guy I am seeing because he refused to let me pay for the bill and I thought it was sexist. When he finally agreed, I gave the waiter my card, only to have him return a minute later telling me it was declined. FML

Today, I got a chance to have dinner and a movie with a girl I've liked for a while. I ran late, so in a hurry to make the movie, and trying to be smooth for her, I told the waiter I'd "take care of him" if he made it fast. He did. When he brought the check, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. FML

Genuine mistake because he thought you'd paid or arsehole? Go back, pay and offer a sincere apology either way.

This actually guarantees you getting the job, as you will now have to work off the debt.

I'm amazed that no one has told you to dump your boyfriend yet!

Who takes thier boyfriend with them when they apply for jobs? Why would you eat there? Also, No big deal, just call back, appologize and pay the bill asap. This FML leaves the impression that under other circumstanmce you would have left it unpaid. YDI.

Why wouldn't they eat there? If you're applying for a job at a restaurant and you also need to eat, it seems silly not to do both in the same place.

Just go back in and tell them you both thought the other one paid. I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time, and they would admire you for coming back to pay it.

Go back and apologize. Pay, tip your waiter. The longer you wait the worse it is.

OP should just pay, plus extra for the inconvenience, and apologize for the mistake while being very professional. It would be best to contact them first so they don't get the impression that you only paid after being caught.

You must finish the story. Did anything more happen?

You know, there is the chance OP's boyfriend was just pretending like he didn't pay to get a reaction out of her. Some people have that kind of humor.

Why did you left him behind so you can "start the car"? Do you drive carriage and had to prepare the horses for the long journey home? When I go out with my girlfriend we leave the establishment together. It's 2014: you push the key behind the steering wheel and vóala! The car is ready to go. Maybe you can still apply for a security job. After all, you've discovered a major security flaw in their restaurant: people can eat for free :))

I'm guessing you've never been to Michigan. It's below freezing there, and you need to warm the car up before you take it somewhere or it'll be a very uncomfortable drive.
