First day
Today, after I'd told everyone I would finally be starting meal prepping to save money, on the very first day, I forgot every container in my fridge, so I still had to buy my lunch during my lunch break. FML

Today, I accidentally overslept and missed a morning breakfast at work, one I never get to have when it happens. Not only did my boss say nothing about me being absent, he even asked me if the food was good. FML

Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML

Wealth gap
Today, a coworker threw my lunch in the trash. They'd just got back from holidays, and I use the same containers they do. My leftovers "looked like something they'd eat", so they thought it was something they'd forgotten before going on holidays. It was leftovers that I'd been spacing out, trying to make last till payday. FML

Today, after calling my bank to see where my paycheck was, and waiting on hold for my entire lunch break, my boss told me she forgot to submit my deposit. I was relying on that money to pay for lunch today as I used all I had for bills. Looks like I eat tomorrow. FML

Today, while working at a chain restaurant, I forgot to charge someone a few dollars for extra toppings on the side. My stingy boss took the time to take that money out of my paycheck. FML

Today, we got our Christmas bonuses. Instead of money, the company decided to give us all lunch boxes with the company name on them. I went ahead and put my lunch in mine, then put it in the break-room refrigerator. Apparently so did all the other employees. Now I can't find mine. FML

Well played
Today, during lunch, my coworker offered me her food, claiming she was full. I was still quite hungry, so I accepted it. Halfway through eating the sandwiches, my boss walked in and started interrogating people over who took his lunch. I quickly realized I was the one eating it. FML

Today, I forgot to bring my lunch to work. I got so hungry, I resorted to eating antacid tablets from the medicine cabinet for lunch. FML

Today, I realized the person I had been habitually stealing bag lunches from at work made me a canned dog food sandwich. FML

I'd steal a random meal and tell that person theirs was left out. Bummer

Last time that happened to me, the whole table got free desserts and I discovered the world's best pistachio ice cream. You'll make out like a bandit once you mention it the restuarant's management. In the meantime, ease your hunger by "stealing" your co-workers' leftovers. It's not really stealing since you actually own it all!

Hahah my comment (#18) had the same idea but is on its way to get buried

40- Perdix was joking about taking a co-worker's leftovers. You said that you would have taken a co-worker's meal, then you would have lied to said co-worker that their meal had been forgotten. Those two concepts are very different.

Sucks for you! I don't get why you got them lunch, they won't like you for anything other than the fact you bought them food!

Because some people do nice things without an ulterior motive.

At least you were being nice and it doesn't hurt to skip a meal :)

It hurts if they're a recovering anorexic or have another form of eating disorder. One of their co-workers would assume that they fell off the wagon and try to get them help again. All because a restaurant forgot to give them their meal.

It's always a guilty moment when someone's lunch is forgotten during work.
