Today, I finished a website that I have been working on for ages for a friend. He tried to repay me by offering to teach me to play table tennis. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I beat my extremely competitive friend in a game of pool. He responded by breaking a pool stick over my head. FML
Today, I played a table tennis final in public. After winning, I went to shake my opponent's hand. He doesn't react or move. It was only the first set. FML
Today, I was playing tennis with my friend. He hit a ball up high, and I slammed it down, thinking there was no way he would get it. Feeling pretty good about it, I turned around to celebrate. As I turned around, I got smacked in my face. He got it. FML
Today, after playing numerous games of poker against my friend, and him telling me that I'm the best poker player he's ever met, I went out and played for real money. I got totally destroyed, lost all of my money, and was laughed out of the building. FML
Today, I went to play pool with a couple of friends. I'm not very good at this game. My friend beat me fair and square. Twice. He's blind. FML
Today, I spent all day doing a project for myself and then for a friend who's sick. Turned out it was a prank everyone in the class was pulling on me. I missed a baseball game because of it. FML
Today, my girlfriend beat me at ping pong, twenty to three. She said I let her win because I don't respect her, then stormed out of the room. I'm just really bad at ping pong. FML
Today, a friend wanted to show me a game he bragged he was the best at. I beat his score on the first try, and now I have a black eye to prove it. FML
Today, I was teaching a ten year old how to play piano. Halfway through the lesson, she made a minor mistake, which, trying to be a good tutor, I corrected her. She smiled up at me, paused, then slammed the key cover down onto my fingers. FML
Today, I handed my friend a $50. I paid her to take care of my farm on Farmville, feed my fish on Fishville, and flip my burgers on Cafe World, while I went on vacation for a week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for not setting terms before starting the project. How does it feel to be used?

Never, ever work for friends. Disagreements can cost friendships. Simply offer you help as a friend, but don't expect anything in return.

a little info on whether youd agreed on payment earlier or not is kinda necessary here. Your lack of forethought into this fml suggests a trend. If so, ydi

There's a few conclusions I could come up with,The first being you never established that he was going to pay you anything,and he was saying it in a friendly manner,he will teach you how to play table tennis! YDI on that count But... The second is that you established he would repay,but not with what.In this case I can imagine you assumed money,but he's not a very good friend and took advantage of you.(Does anyone rem the one where the old lady payed the guy with "anything from her goodiebag",essentially the guy got payed with a toy car for cleaning her attic.)If this is the case FYL.

Should have discussed this on the front end. YDI.

If he's really your friend then why would you charge him? Unless you paid to make the website, that sh*ts expensive

Table tennis is a great game. More importantly, you shouldn't expect anything in return if you don't discuss it in the beginning. FYL + YDI

Show him the code and tell him to figure it out.

At least he's trying to return the favor
