Today, I walked into a gas station and saw some $.25 gum. It looked good and I thought I had a quarter in my pocket. I found no change in my pocket once I got to the register, so I pulled out my credit card. The cashier laughed a few seconds later when my card was declined for a piece of gum. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML
Today, I was so broke that I paid for a $0.28 candy bar with my credit card. FML
Today, my card got declined at Subway, so I walked to the nearest cashpoint thirty minutes away to frantically figure out how much cash I had in my card. As I went to pull my card out of my purse, it slipped from my grip and fell into the sewer. The guy behind me snorted with laughter. FML
Today, when paying for gas, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet back home. After a moment of panic, I managed to remember my card number. I paid, blowing the cute cashier's mind, and drove away, before my car started sputtering and slowed to a crawl. I'd used the wrong fuel. FML
Today, I was standing in the gas station, pulling out my wallet to pay the $100 of gas I just filled my car with. I opened my wallet and found a note saying "borrowed money for food". FML
Today, I handed a middle-aged woman her change of $0.75 with three quarters. She looked at the change bewildered and threw the coins down, asking if she thought I could get away with only giving her thirty cents. I had to explain to her how much a quarter is worth. FML
Today, I was at the gas station with my grandma. After I slid her card and began to pump, I convinced her that it was a lot easier and more convenient to pay at the pump with your credit card instead of paying inside. She yelled as I realized I went $20 over what she had to spend. FML
Today, I pulled into the gas station to fill up only to realize I had forgot my wallet. By the time I went home, got it, and came back, the price had gone up eleven cents. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop with the change I got back after buying a ball. After having waited in line for around twenty minutes, I was told that only credit cards were allowed. I'd left my wallet in my car because I thought I didn't need it. FML
Today, my boss asked me if he could pay me in gum. Thinking he was playing around, I agreed. He wasn't playing around. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Most places won't even let you use your card for something that cheap, they have to pay a fee every time someone charges. They'd lose money.

I totally agree with you. It's really annoying when someone needs to hold up a line, paying with their credit card for a pack of gum. At the store I go to, they don't make you sign recipets if the total is under $5. Stupid, you should have $5 on you, the interest probably costs more...

People like you need to cut up that card and start spending your money and not relying on the banks money to buy you some 25cent gum. No wonder the world is coming in a recession, its people like you that need to be blamed.

#40 no moron should pay for a pack of gum with a credit card, the interest is more than the gum itself.

don't feel too bad...a lot of places won't let you make a purchase with a credit card unless you spend a minimum amount...most places it's a dollar, some it's $5. i used to work at starbucks and it's the same there...not even 99 cents works. it has to be a dollar or more, otherwise it "declines" the card.
