Today, I asked a guy if he could buy me a pack of cigarettes, since I'm still under 18. He took my money, went into the supermarket, and must have slipped out a side-entrance, because he never came back. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a man in a hurry asked me for a light. Not being able to find my lighter amongst the muddle inside my handbag, I handed him my lit cigarette so he could light his. He took it from me, started smoking it and walked off. FML
Today, my loneliness pushed me to buy a pack of cigarettes just so I had to show my ID to the clerk, hoping he would wish me a happy birthday. I don't even smoke and he didn't say anything. FML
Today, my friend and I wanted to get some alcohol (we're under 21). We went to a liquor store and asked a random guy to go in and buy us some vodka. After giving him $20, he said he had to go turn off his car, then he'd get us the drinks. He got in his car and drove off, with my $20. FML
Today, a homeless guy asked me for a cigarette. Knowing that I only had a couple left in my pack, I gave it to him. He opened it, took one out and thanked me profusely. A bit surprised, I went on my way. Oh yeah, that's right, the pack contained the money I'd withdrawn from an ATM. FML
Today, when I went to the gas station to buy beer, some underage punk outside asked me to buy him booze. I told him to get bent, but the dumbass cashier had seen me talking to him, and refused to let me buy alcohol because, "This is obviously a sting." FML
Today, on my way home from grocery shopping, two young adults around my age came up and asked me for a lighter. Thinking they just needed it to light a cigarette, I handed them my only lighter. They immediately ran away. I got robbed for a 1.99$ lighter. FML
Today, as he was going out, I asked my father if he stop by the store and buy some tampons for me and toilet paper for the house, because we have been out for the last 5 days. He came home with a 30-pack of beer and cigarettes instead. I just started my time of the month and we have no more money. FML
Today, I gave a man a cigarette. He spent the rest of the day so far following me around, telling me all about his medical history, and chasing after me when I got too far away. I couldn't get rid of him for hours. FML
Today, I picked up a carton of cigarettes for my stepfather from the store. He smokes the equivalent of nearly half my paycheck a fortnight. FML
Today, I was picking up my little sister from school and while waiting I decided to have a smoke. I was caught and was told to go to the principal's office. I'm 23. FML

Idiot. Hopefully they were expensive kinds so you learn your lesson.

Definitely FYL, now you have to wait for next week's allowance before making yourself feel important by pretending to be an adult again. On a side note, the guy probably worked there if he went inside and never came out. No one's going to slip out an emergency exit or shimmy out a bathroom window to steal your damn five bucks.

Exactly what I was thinking, but we already know the op is stupid. He probably never even thought that maybe the guy was about to start his shift or coming back from lunch.

So deserved! You shouldn't smoke anyway, it's really addictive and bad for you.

You're just as bad as those kids who paid a stranger $20 to get them alcohol. You definitely deserve it for trusting a total stranger to get you something you're not supposed to have while you're under 18. I'd quit the premature smoking habit if I were you. It gets worse when you get older.

That's why people under 18 aren't allowed to buy cigarettes. They're too stupid. I mean, what did you think wanna gunna happen when you gave a stranger at a gas station money???

Back in the day when I was a minor, I did it plenty, never had someone rip me off.
