Love: Today, I was at a restaurant with my boyfriend. He wound up drinking...

Today, I was at a restaurant with my boyfriend. He wound up drinking a whole bottle of wine, and when the bill came he drunkenly yelled at the waiter, claiming it should be free, because he's in the military "fighting for your freedom". He's a mechanic in the National Guard. FML

Same thing different taste

By fuck you, dad - 27/09/2012 18:36 - United Kingdom - Brighton

Today, I was eating out at a restaurant with my family. My dad had drained most of our bottle of wine, so thinking he'd be a little less uptight than usual, I reached over to pour myself some. He swatted my hand away and started yelling at me for being a "degenerate drunk". FML

Today, I was bartending. A guest was getting belligerent so I had to cut him off. He called me a bitch and threw the rest of his drink in my face before storming off. The belligerent asscandle was my boyfriend. FML

Today, some guy walked into the restaurant I work at and ordered enough food to serve the entire National Guard of Texas. He thanked us by leaving a $0.50 tip and shitting on the bathroom floor. FML

Today, I took my boyfriend to a family dinner. It went well, until my dad got drunk and started telling everyone about how "midgets" are assholes and are ruining America. FML

He's a good man

By no booze, no boyfriend - 04/06/2013 20:31 - United States

Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me from jail, expecting me to bail him out. He'd tried to buy a load of booze at the liquor store and came up short by ten cents. The cashier refused to be short-changed, and he figured the only reasonable reaction was to punch her in the face. FML

Date night

By feminist - 17/06/2009 15:25 - Canada

Today, I got into a heated argument at a restaurant with a guy I am seeing because he refused to let me pay for the bill and I thought it was sexist. When he finally agreed, I gave the waiter my card, only to have him return a minute later telling me it was declined. FML

Today, my boyfriend got drunk and had a fistfight with a dumb teenager, which was bad enough, but he also lost the fight, which was just pathetic and embarrassing. FML

Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. Within seconds of getting my drink, I spilled it all over the table and my scarf. When the waiter was helping clean up the spill, he knocked over my boyfriend's drink. All over my pants. FML

Today, it was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. We had dinner reservations to an expensive restaurant and planned to see a movie after. At least, we did, until he called to tell me he'd volunteered to work tonight. He won't get off until 2am. FML

Considering you have to put up with that kind of embarrassment, I hope they DID give you a free meal.

So my husband is a mechanic on a jet and is deployed with his jet quiet a bit.. So don't feel the need to make a comment about something you know nothing about. Mechanics get deployed all the time.

He is still in the Military.

a lot of people are misreading this. yes, his profession is still valuable, and no one should make less of his position. however, as a mechanic in the national guard, i highly doubt that he's "fighting for your freedom". i don't think OP was trying to put her her bf down, she was just stating that no, he's not fighting for your freedom.

Um. Excuse me? I sure as hell fought for freedom when I deployed and I'm a mechanic. In the national guard. but I was active at the time of my deployment. jeez. without us, all those other soldiers couldn't do their jobs cuz they break everything and would have anyone to fix it.

Mechanics are just as important as infantry or anyone else.

It's sad that you think there are insignificant positions in the military. Go try doing something sometime, OP.

Half of you have never been to basic, that alone would kick your ass into next century but if you can make it in after that then you should be proud of any part you take in helping our country. Wtf do you do for work? could you tell me if a hurricane hit your town that you would be out there in it helping? no, but he would. If he didnt help fix their trucks, how would they get out there to help the stranded and sick? You're ****** up for putting him down like that. I wish you could get your ass kicked in basic training. then you might have some respect.

Hey, he has a point still. If it wasn't for him working on the vehicles and keeping th on pristine condition, the troops wouldn't be able to do what they do, so in a sense he is fighting for our freedom.
