Today, I went out with a friend to grab some food and we were served by this really cute and fun waiter. Stepping out of my comfort zone and deciding to do something crazy, I left my phone number on the bill. I got home only to realize that I forgot to pay the bill. FML

Today, I took a friend out for what I thought was date. After dinner was over and I paid, she pulled the bill out and wrote her name phone number on it for the waiter. FML

Today, I left my number on my receipt for a cute waitress. As I was leaving the bar, she came running out and called me over. I obviously got excited. Turns out I'd forgotten to sign my slip. FML

Today, I had a really cute waitress at lunch. I decided to leave my number and a $50 bill for a $15 check. When I left the restaurant I realized I still had the $50 but a $1 bill was missing from my wallet. I've been getting threatening text messages all day. FML

Today, I went out to eat with my friends. When the bill came, all three of them had "inconveniently" forgot their wallets at home. I ended up having to pay. It was a $178 check. FML

Dine and dash

By talkomatic713 - 18/07/2021 09:58

Today, some friends and I went to IHOP. We joked about not having enough money, and as it turns out we were $5 short. We put down what we had and left. Upon getting to the car, I realized I'd forgotten my phone, and had to go back. I made eye contact with our waitress, our money in her hand. FML

Today, I did a "dine and dash" and left my phone in the restaurant. The owner answered my phone call. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. When it came time for us to leave, I saw him write something on the receipt for our waitress. I managed to get a quick look; it was his number. FML

Today, I went out to eat with a friend. I was supposed to be paying, but when I tried to, there wasn't enough money in my bank account. She didn't have money with her either. FML

Today, I accidentally left my cell phone at the restaurant. When I realized my mistake, I went back to see if anyone had found it. They said no, so I gave them my number to call if it turned up. I realized later that I'd given them my cell phone number. FML

Today, I got a chance to have dinner and a movie with a girl I've liked for a while. I ran late, so in a hurry to make the movie, and trying to be smooth for her, I told the waiter I'd "take care of him" if he made it fast. He did. When he brought the check, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. FML

I'm sure they'll call and you can sort it all out then.

Lol, OP should go back and personally apologize and try to laugh it off. Don't wait for them to contact you that still makes you look scummy.

1- Actually, that'd be brilliant if it was intentional. It guarantees he'll call you back and you can both laugh over it, you go pay the bill, have some idle chit chat, and you may get a date out of the deal, with a great story to tell the grand kiddies one day on how you met and married grandpa. ;) Good luck, Op!

15- exactly! And on the off-chance that they don't call back for whatever reason, OP gets off with a free meal!

If you'd really wanted to step out of your comfort zone, you would have asked him for his number straight in the face ;-)

28 don't believe everything you hear. It's insulting to assume all women are the same.

33, It's idiotic to take every little thing like that as an insult, especially since I was going off of what I've heard from the 3 out of 4 sister I have who bother with dating, and a couple of my closer, female, friends. Yes, it is a bit of a generalization, but it's no more of a generalization than you putting your personal beliefs as fact.

You do realize OP would still have the bill if he/she didn't pay it, right? This means the waiter wouldn't even have OP's number...

Uh. No... Not true. Most places bring your receipt to the table and you leave the money there. Therefore it is possible to leave the receipt on the table.

A desperate girl gets a "cute" waiter to call her? I'd say that qualifies as "Genius!"

This FML is adorable! I'm sure they'll settle the payments and then OP can go on a date with the waiter.
