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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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

Why do so many people think you deserved this? He is obviously an idiot you won't go out with again. Geez it was a first date...

After staring at this FML for over five mintues I eventually worked out why it should have been so easy. But I'm still not certain if I got it right... It doesn't make someone stupid if they can't work it out. Some people (like me) are not very mathamatically minded. He may have been nervous -- seeing as it WAS the first date. Or it could have been a mental blank. Don't be so harsh. If that's the worst thing you can think of I'd say he sounds like a lovely guy.

It should have been easy because percentages are out of 100%, and therefore if the bill is £100, the amount of tip is the same as the % you want to give (It's 15 btw)

is 15% of £100 the same as 15% of $100 since £100 is $160? Does that make sense? For the record, 15% of 100 is 15, to prove I'm not that dumb.

Really? Not that dumb? 15% of 100 is 15 never mind if its £ or $. It's not as if the guy decided to convert it into dollars and then work out the percentage.

Yes, 15% of £100 is £15, just as 15% of $100 would be $15. The reason the £/$ difference is being pointed out is for people who are saying $100 is a lot for a meal, when it's in fact the equivalent of US$160 that the meal cost, so it's even MORE expensive than they think it is.
