Restaurants and Love: Nice try, loverboy

Nice try, loverboy

By Anonymous - 06/04/2009 05:07 - United States

Today, I had a really cute waitress at lunch. I decided to leave my number and a $50 bill for a $15 check. When I left the restaurant I realized I still had the $50 but a $1 bill was missing from my wallet. I've been getting threatening text messages all day. FML

Same thing different taste

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

Fat chance

Today, I left my number on my receipt for a cute waitress. As I was leaving the bar, she came running out and called me over. I obviously got excited. Turns out I'd forgotten to sign my slip. FML

Dine and dash

Today, some friends and I went to IHOP. We joked about not having enough money, and as it turns out we were $5 short. We put down what we had and left. Upon getting to the car, I realized I'd forgotten my phone, and had to go back. I made eye contact with our waitress, our money in her hand. 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, while working as a waitress, an attractive woman sat at one of my tables. When she paid, I decided to be bold and write my number and "Call me" on her receipt. She put in a complaint to my manager. 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

Goodbye Bill

By faith - 16/06/2020 23:00

Today, I went to a restaurant to order food with just a $100 bill. They no longer had what I came for, so I left. When I got to my car, I realized - no bill. I went back in for them to say they hadn't seen it, and they wouldn’t check the cameras. I know the lady working there picked it up since I was the only customer. FML

Today, I was working at my job as cashier. This really attractive girl that comes in walked in, so I mustered up the courage to ask her out, by writing my number on a dollar bill. She pays and a dollar is her change. I go to hand her the money when she sees it and says, "Keep the change". FML

Today, my friend and I went to a really expensive restaurant. We got really bad service, so halfway through the meal we decided to dine-and-dash. Turns out I left my purse in the restaurant. With my I.D. and everything inside. FML

Sharing is caring

Today, my parents came to the restaurant I work at as a waiter. After, I picked up the check to realize they had left me a $500 tip! We split the tips among the employees so I only got $50 back but I was still psyched. When I got home they asked me if I had noticed that they used my credit card. FML

1. Paying her to get a date? Classy. 2. How did you not realize how much money you were leaving when you specifically wanted to leave $50? 3. Not going back or even trying to fix your mistake hammers the nail in this coffin of YDI.

It's too late to make things up with the girl. Give up on that. But go back and pay your bill in full before they go to the police with your phone number. Honestly, it's the only thing you can do to make things right.

Just say, "this was a test that you failed." What you should have posted was Today, I tried to win a girl over by flashing some cash cause I have no personality. FML

Let's say you did lay down the $50. If she calls you and dates you because you gave her a lot of money, then obviously she's wants to date you for the wrong reasons. Next time, find a better way to pick up chicks.

Wow. So instead of going back to pay for the meal, you're whining on the internet about having an extra $50 in your wallet? Just go back and pay the bill.

23 kind of beat me to it. Americans can make fun of our money all they want - (though I've never seen a currency besides theirs that is all the same colour, so really they are the odd ones out...) but it sure lowers the risk of dumb shit like this happening. I grew up in Canada, so the money colours are engrained into my brain, and now that I've been living in Europe not only are the colours different but so are the sizes... if you want 50€ just look for a huge orangey bill. 5€? Tiny blue.

#23 and #37 beat me to the money comment.. i completely agree with them. YDI. Just go back and pay the rest of the bill.

I agree with the rest. Go back tomorrow and pay your bill. I can't believe you didn't as soon as you found out, particularly since you left your number! Depending on where she works, the $14 you didn't pay might have had to come from her pocket. You probably won't get a date but at least you'll stop her from thinking you're a cheap asshole.
