Today, I'm so broke after paying my bills, that I resorted to eating plain garlic butter from the pizzeria down the street for lunch. The worst part: to get the butter, I stormed in and angrily complained, saying they forgot to give it to me. I never even ordered a pizza. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was so broke and hungry that I went to Olive Garden and faked being stood up, just so I could eat their breadsticks. FML
Today, I was bitched out by a pizza delivery man. I didn't have the cash to pay him for a pizza I didn't even order. FML
Today, for breakfast, I made a butter sandwich. I'm that broke. FML
Today, I was starving and ordered pizza. They said it would take 30 minutes. When it arrived an hour later, I was so hangry, I didn’t even wait for the delivery guy to leave. I grabbed the pizza box, ripped it open, and immediately dropped it face-down onto the ground. I ended up eating a slice of cold, dirt-covered pizza like a sad, defeated animal. FML
Today, I'm getting over a nasty breakup, and decided to treat myself and order a pizza online. After waiting 45 minutes, I checked the site. Turns out, I'd forgotten to change the address on the site. I sent my ex a free pizza. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza online to be delivered to my apartment. After an hour of waiting, I called the pizza place to ask what the problem was. Apparently, the people at the apartment below me took my already paid for pizza and ate it. FML
Today, I was hungry and I was trying to buy the cheapest burger at Wendy's, but I'm so broke that I had to call my friends to lend me some money. Ugh. FML
Today, my roommate and I were watching TV, and he ordered a pizza. After it was delivered, I took a slice. He yelled at me for taking his food and told me to stop mooching off him. I had to cover his rent last month and he still hasn't paid me back. FML
Today, after a bad week I ordered a large pizza, ready to binge-watch TV. The delivery guy shows up, I hand him the cash, and he left without giving me my pizza. Exhausted, I watched him leave, like a confused puppy. I called the pizzeria; he'd left the pizza somewhere else, and couldn't re-deliver it because their driver was "done for the night.” FML
Today, I burned dinner because my girlfriend was yelling for me to help with a trivial problem. To salvage things, I ordered pizza. She spent the rest of the evening moaning that I ruined dinner, that we don't eat healthy, and that I "make us" waste money on food. FML

Quick thinking, OP. Try and use that skill and become a con artist :D

I wonder how did or would you deal with the following or next meal after this? Why not ask your friend or family to buy you something to eat or lend some money from them? And do you have or being looking for a job to feed yourself?

Paying bills is mentioned. I'm guessing they have access to money, just not enough of it.

What exactly is plain garlic butter?
Bibliovore 26
It's butter that has some crushed garlic and often salt and occasionally some other herbs mixed in. Some pizza places include a couple of presealed cups of the stuff, each holding a couple of melted tablespoons, for people to dip pizza or breadsticks into. But essentially, it's just butter.

I think perhaps it's time for a second or.. A third.. Job. May not be ideal OP but it is important that you eat more than garlic butter :( I hope things take a turn for the better, I've been in your shoes.

Some pizzerias have pizzas in back that are either screw-ups or cancelled orders. Usually the staff eats them, but I imagine if you explained your situation after asking if they do indeed have any extra pizzas, they'd probably give you a slice or two. I used to do that for a homeless man that used to hang around the pizza place I used to work at. Nobody minded.

You should have taken it to Olive Garden and asked to be seated while you "wait for your friends". Eat the basket of bread and then start crying and say your friends stood you up and leave.
