Today, I went on a date, the first one I've been on since my last boyfriend broke up with me 6 months ago. We were at a restaurant, and at the end of meal he insisted on paying the bill. He wanted to leave a 15% tip but couldn't work out in his head how much to leave. The bill was for £100. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went on a date that went well, until the bill came and she quickly shoved it in my direction, then went to the loo. Rude, but I thought nothing of it… until our waiter took pity and told me I’m the fourth guy she’s had this week who'd been made to pay for her. I paid half, then went home. 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, 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, my date left the restaurant because I didn’t agree with his opinions about the mentally disabled or mixed race couples, etc. Basically, a real scumbag. He also left me the bill, and it turned out he had all the most expensive menu items, including a £120 bottle of wine. It cost over £300 total. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me to a movie after days of not seeing me. This long-awaited date involved me paying for food and my movie ticket when he ran out of cash again. He then dumped me as we left the theater walking to his car. Yes, I financed my own breakup date. FML
Today, after dating a guy for 2 months, things seemed to be going well. I offered to buy dinner and trusted he would keep in mind that I'm a college student on a budget. He picked the restaurant, ran up the bill over $100, made me pay, and dumped me right after. 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, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. After dessert, he went to the bathroom so I quickly called the waiter over and paid the bill, thinking it was a nice gesture. When he returned, he broke up with me for "emasculating" him. FML
Today, I went on a date at a restaurant with a guy. When he promised I wouldn't have to pay the bill, I didn't think he meant we'd be dining and dashing. FML
Today, I was on a dinner date with a guy I really like. I guess I was on my phone too much because halfway through the date he sent me a text saying how much my half of the bill would be. FML

That isn't that bad. Atleast he wasn't making you pay :)

be glad someone spent $100 on a first date for you, when it's just a dinner.

Has anyone thought that the bill was 89, 93 or something like that and he was trying to figure out that %? Op just rounded it to 100 for the fml.

Yeah, it's one of the most annoying traps if you travel a lot. Most of the time, you're just trying to do what is reasonable and appropriate. In Australia, tipping up to 10% is OK but not required, Germany, it'd be seen as too much, Japan, completely crazy, US, stingy. There are also weird situations, like in a bar - some places you leave change, some you 'buy the bartender a drink' every couple of rounds. It's impossible to guess how it works. If a guy brings room service and you tip them, do you have to tip them again when they pick up the trolley? The permutations are endless. The ones I DO object to are either where they keep the change without asking, or like you said, abuse you for making a simple mistake. It's simply not possible to get it right every time, so why act like a jerk about it instead of asking calmly if there was a problem?

I am tempted to give the guy the benefit of doubt by assuming that the bill was not exactly 100£, but rather something along the lines of 99.73£ and being the perfectionist he is, he tried to work out 15% of the exact amount.
