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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm pretty sure stealing sauce from a main chain restaurant of any source will have absolutely zero impact on the CEO of that business. Sometimes stealing isn't actually stealing at all when food establishments are throwing away edible food on a daily business.

You should have casually popped in at moms house.

1. You didn't have to go in all angry. You could have just gone in and politely asked for it. 2. Find a food bank or local church that can help you.

A better way of doing it is get a receipt from someone that just ate some Wendy's and do exactly what you did and get free meals lol just make sure to get the receipt from someone that went through the drive through like a friend or something

You still have access to a computer?

If you're that broke to where you have absolutely nothing you can eat for so long you'd resort to that.. Then how did you pay your Internet bill(or phone bill if using iPhone) so you can post this? If you're so starving and poor, sell your computer .-. Hahaha

#150 - I'm assuming OP is either unemployed or in need of a better job. Either way, both a computer and a phone can be vital. Many places will only accept online applications anymore (or at least, that's what I noticed from my experience) and I'm sure OP would want a phone that a potential employer could call to set up an interview. Or maybe they're getting paid soon, but after paying their bills had no money to tide them over for the few days between paying bills and getting their next paycheck.

I'm actually just kidding ha I've been there too .-. Sucks when you get your paycheck on the first of the month and you have use every bit of it on bills right away and are broke till next payday -.-
