Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I cried and told him that I loved him. He gave me a quarter and told me to call someone who cared. I threw the quarter in his face and ran. I waited for the bus, but when I got on, I realized I was 25cents short of the fare. I walked home in the rain. FML
I agree, your life sucks (80383) - you totally deserved it (14013)

Your ex must obvious listen to Travis Tritt as his heres a quarter call someone who cares is one of his songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLG2jaVdUMo

wow... I feel horrible about laughing at the irony of that situation... You're ex sounds like a dick, good thing you broke up with him anyway. Call me :)
For once in my life...I find it hard to differentiate between YLIF and YDI...!
I'm cruel.

that's so mean. as if it's not bad enough that he's the one doing the breaking up, he didn't need to take that cheap shot. sorry girl <3
#11 - On 02/21/2009 at 7:43pm by somegirl
Always sad to hear about a break up. Seriously unlucky on the money front, though I must admit it did make me laugh :)
I hope it wasn't a long walk.
But at least when you're covered in rain people won't see the tears.

Mabye he's didn't want you to do some manipulation stuff which typically begins with "I love you." and ends with you berating him for some trivial thing.
#18 - On 02/21/2009 at 8:48pm by anon
Hey, at least you got to make a statement :)
@#6 -- that phrase has been around forever.
#19 - On 02/21/2009 at 8:51pm by RD
a quarter short and the bus driver didn't cut you a break? that's shitty.
#20 - On 02/21/2009 at 8:53pm by tony
You should have kept the quarter and nailed him in the balls.
#22 - On 02/21/2009 at 9:18pm by Myr1435
You deserved it. He tried to give you bus fair but as always women are never grateful.
#25 - On 02/21/2009 at 10:37pm by acr91276
#25 umm no shut up
ugh guys are assholes.
can't live with them can't live with out them.
#27 - On 02/21/2009 at 10:48pm by lacey
The girls on this site are vicious. No that is really funny.
I love how we assume that this girl is a saint, she could've cheated or lied about something.
i hope you dont mean you litterally ran away after throwing said quarter. thats mildly embarrasing.
#29 - On 02/22/2009 at 12:33am by strutaway
#21 she said she was a quarter SHORT
But I have to say... This is one of the funniest/saddest FML lol
BTW your BF is an ass...
#30 - On 02/22/2009 at 12:59am by ArivO
YDI for saying you love him when he's dumping you and YDI when you didn't carry enough money with you for a cab fare, let alone bus fare.
YDIx2
#32 - On 02/22/2009 at 2:11am by sdrfsdf
A quarter? You bf is dumb because it costs 35 cents.
But yeah, that sucks what happened to you. Oh well, you'll always get better, it's only temporary.
#33 - On 02/22/2009 at 2:42am by NofolkDude
You sound like a drama queen. That's probably why he dumped you.
#34 - On 02/22/2009 at 3:13am by Emily
haha #33- 35 cents?! wow, boys ARE dumb (i'm assuming you're a boy)
#38 - On 02/22/2009 at 1:03pm by slo
wow, lets point out all the broad generalizations in this comment thread
1. the lesbos that keep saying "boys are dumb" and crap like that. yea, no one cares if you hate men, keep it to yourself/your girlfriend
2. She could have cheated which would explain the bf's coldness. we don't know.
3. the assumptions on cab fare/bus fare. Maybe it was a different bus than normal, or her bf usually gave her rides.
4. the phone debate is unnecessary. the point is that he didn't care, not that he was going to give her exact change to call someone who really did care.
5. that her bf is an ass. see number 2 again.
So really we can only look on and laugh (i know i did) So lets stop all the money arguments, and definitely the male vs female stuff, cause frankly, no one gives a damn. thats to you #27 and 38. And zach is right, girls on this site are sometimes quite vicious. sometimes :)
omg i feel so sorry for u! wat a fuckin jerk! u shouldve punched him instead and than ran off!
#40 - On 02/22/2009 at 4:51pm by canadainboi19
Fuck tht, makes me feel fucked up, btw no one else in the bus had spare-change?
#43 - On 02/22/2009 at 8:20pm by maui
I think you need better taste in guys if you end up loving someone that would do something like that. You deserved it.
#44 - On 02/22/2009 at 9:14pm by Linds
That bus driver's an asshole for not letting u on if ur a quarter short
#45 - On 02/22/2009 at 9:26pm by JE
thats so sad, i bet ur really hot 2...good girls are hard to find
#46 - On 02/22/2009 at 10:04pm by 20batman09
Your bf is a f*cking ass, regardless of what other people might say.
#48 - On 02/23/2009 at 9:40pm by pchama
payphones don't even cost .25 nowadays. he was a quarter short of a good joke!
also in which case you could've thrown 1 quarter at him and kept the other for the bus ride.
#49 - On 02/24/2009 at 10:59pm by heyadasf
This is actually sad, unlike most of the FMLs in here. He sounds like a jerk, and you deserve better ;)
what an asshole.... Call someone who cares? Hell round up your FML posse and we can go kick his ass.
#52 - On 02/25/2009 at 12:01pm by Ditto
All boyfriends have the potential to be dicks and your ex is a plain example of being a dick. I would've kicked him if I was you.
#53 - On 02/25/2009 at 10:22pm by FL
aww you poor girl :(
Im so sorry that happened to you :(
Everyone deserves a guy that treats them nicely... and that guy was a big jerk :(
#54 - On 02/26/2009 at 9:25am by peteypiranha128
Walking back home through the rain after a break up is good therapy - it reminds you that there are more important things in life. Like a hot shower, warm, dry clothes and a hto cup of tea.
#57 - On 02/28/2009 at 6:07am by peterchen
Wow thats the only story here ive ever felt sympathy for. im really sorry that happend to you
#66 - On 03/05/2009 at 12:51pm by CountDown681
give me your boyfriends number... i will show him what i can do with a lead pipe and he will never leave his home again... i swear.. im now pissed at him and i want to give you a hug you poor thing... i love my ex girlfriend .. shes my ex because she doesnt want to wait for me because my mom doesnt want me to date till im 18.. im 17 and she wouldnt even wait for a year.. and i have been sitting to the sidelines going behind her parents back making out with other guys and her telling me about it
#67 - On 03/05/2009 at 7:50pm by lllstrikesmember
i cant believe nobody would give you a quarter.
i would have!
#70 - On 03/08/2009 at 11:11am by lalala24
Dudes a fag. Sorry for that shit, but damnn, tells a good story. If you live in Worcester, Massachusetts Ill go show ur ex a disappearing act...all I need is a quarter and a narrow esophagus :P
#71 - On 03/08/2009 at 2:30pm by unbelievable1
Robocop
Kanye West
About the baddest girl I ever seen
Straight up outta movie scene
Who knew she was a drama queen
That'll turn my life to Steven King's
Up late night like she on patrol
Checking everything like I'm on parole
I told her there's somethings she don't need to know
She never let it go (ooo ohh)
what a douche!!!!!!
that totally sucks, to be dumped and find out that you're in love with a complete douche.
i hope the quarter hit him in the eye or something!
To everyone being mean to her: Uh no, some guys really are assholes who break up with innocent women in horrible ways. Some guys do it to look manly, and hide being emotional so the girl can't talk sense into them.
No, I'm not a lesbian. Or bitter. Just empathetic and giving her the benefit of the doubt.
Honey, you are better off without that sociopath! :P So sorry that happened to you.
#78 - On 03/15/2009 at 6:44pm by Princesscrystal
I don't know you, but I want to give you a hug and shoot your boyfriend. Hope you're feeling better soon
I'd have to kick the living shit outta whoever did that to you. Can't even begin to sympathize. Here's to better luck and relationships in the future.
If I saw someone to that to their girlfriend, I'd probably walk across the street and flatten the cocksucker.
Fuck 'im. Not worth a second of your time. There's guys out there that'd never dream of doing that to a girl (myself included) - - keep looking.
Im sorry its a dick move. But thats hilariously shitty, at least now you have a story to laugh about....?
#83 - On 03/17/2009 at 1:03am by username112232
lol sorry but i just remembered payphones are $0.50 now, the ass didnt even give you enough... I agree very shitty but also pretty funny...
#84 - On 03/17/2009 at 1:06am by username112232
aw i'm sorry to hear that. Your ex is a jerk and you're better off without him. And that whole quarter thing was stupid, immature, and unoriginal. Hang in there.
wtf.. did he seriously give you a quarter? how unoriginal and tacky of him. you are sooo better off without that loser..
#89 - On 03/20/2009 at 11:21pm by PinkSkullzPR
=\ No one should be that rude... and if he's lucky enough to have had someone feel so strongly for him that they'd still love him after he ended it, he's a dumbass for what he did. *hug*
#91 - On 03/22/2009 at 10:11pm by podrummer9209
hahaha.
you people need to stop saying shit like "oh you can do so much better than him" or "omg guys are dicks"
this isn't a fantasy world. your dates aren't always your fucking soulmates.
#92 - On 03/26/2009 at 4:24am by mister_moops
its ok..that happened to me once too. except he gave me a dime to get a life. i threw it into his neck. i needed a dime more to buy cigs
damn, that totally blows, i hope you weren't wearing anything that's water unfriendly...
#94 - On 04/07/2009 at 4:21am by brkn_hearted
I agree with #39. Yes, some guys can be total assholes, but we know nothing about the relationship. He could have broken up with her because he thought it would make him seem manlier. He could have broken up with her because he caught her sleeping with another guy. Just because he broke up with her doesn't mean she's an innocent girl who never does anything wrong. It doesn't mean she's a cheating whore, either. We just know what's in the story.. I'm not giving either of them the benefit of the doubt.
Either way, it's fucking hilarious and slightly sad at once. Your anger at your boyfriend cost you a (relatively) fast, dry ride home.
But here's an idea: Throw the quarter at him, then pick it up. Yes, he could have been giving it to her to be an ass, but spiting people by giving them money isn't generally a good idea.
thats horrible... some people just take their significant others forgranted sometimes.... guys and girls do it.... its sad really...
You threw the quarter at his face? You should have PUNCHED him in the face and shoved the quarter up his NOSE! lol
#100 - On 04/20/2009 at 6:22pm by nicelyjohnson
i feel your pain girlfriend. no matter what you may think of him right now he was clearly not worth 1 of the 25 cents you threw at him.
#101 - On 04/20/2009 at 8:32pm by ughwhatever
The only thing more adorable than the people posting about how he threw away a good thing and making it sound like he'll never get to date again is the oh so tough people talking about what they'd do to the boyfriend. As stated in other comments, you people don't know anything about the story other than he dumped her with an unoriginal line. Having been in a similar situation (sans quarters and cheesy lines), I have to agree with #18. Thank god for the people keeping it simple and saying it was sad or it was funny.
Also, I have to wonder if #78 even knows what a sociopath is.
#102 - On 04/21/2009 at 12:04pm by MozillaFirefox
yeah, kick him in the balls, it hurts more than throwing a quarter at him.
#103 - On 04/22/2009 at 8:11pm by BPerlmutter
thats ironic and funny... but i feell bad for you.
so sorry, hun.
#105 - On 04/26/2009 at 10:54pm by caladalada
sociopath means no remorse, right? so he doesnt sound so stupid...
dont judge me
#106 - On 04/26/2009 at 10:56pm by caladalada
wow, your ex is an asshole. sorry about the walking home in the rain part, but seriously you're better off without him!
#108 - On 05/05/2009 at 7:05pm by Polka_Dots
ha ha. that really sucks.
but if you want to look at the bright side, if you had actually taken the quarter instead of throwing it in his face you would have looked pretty pathetic.
#109 - On 05/08/2009 at 8:39pm by ertw
You poor thing! I'm so sorry! I'm giving you a mental hug right now. :)
#112 - On 05/23/2009 at 1:24am by linzilady
That sounds like the kind of breakup one would see in a movie.
Dramatic and heartbreaking
#114 - On 05/30/2009 at 7:05pm by emodude44
That sounds kind of hard to swallow, but if it is true then you must have done something bad enough to make him that cold, like cheated on him. Or he's just a prick and you're better off without him anyway. Can't tell if this is an FYL or YDI without more info.
#117 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:35pm by DarkMirror
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!
That sound so fake but it was funny. If thats real omg I feel bad for you but guys are dicks!
wow this reminds me of a similar situation that i had except i made it onto the bus and since it was raining my jeans got soaked and during the bus ride my pants dried but my butt part didnt since i was sitting on it and when i got off people were pointing and laughing at me behind my back because apparently it looked like i peed my pants. i feel your pain :(
#121 - On 06/17/2009 at 11:52pm by chinezeghurl
Good, you shouldn't have used his quarter. I don't know where guys get off acting like this
#123 - On 06/27/2009 at 5:23pm by GrimReaper973
Well...even if you HAD called someone...woulda spent the quarter and been short. Shoulda showed the bus driver ur titties.
i give that dude props! i definitely gotta do that to this girl im dating cuz shes too clingy...
#128 - On 07/25/2009 at 6:55pm by cod4_freak
what a dumb ass how freaking insensitive can you get!? you deserve better than him, and good luck. i know youll find somebody worth your tears. and when you do, he wont make you cry.
#130 - On 08/10/2009 at 12:27am by obviously_damned
thats what you get for being from canada, get out of my website
#131 - On 09/12/2009 at 12:54am by IHateTheBritish
the people that r chewing the guy out are stupid. the chick needs to grow up...its girls like her that make us look weak.
Remorseless Shitheads. Try being in love sometime. hope it kills you. if that was you, you'd have probably slit your throat.
dont worry about that pathetic s-o-a-b, he'l never be worth more then the coin he gave you.
