Today, I went over to get some ice cream. I found a rare parking spot in front of the store, and even had change in my pocket. After feeding the meter, A lady comes up to me and tells me that the meter was free after 8 o'clock. I paid 50 cents for it. I was 50 cents short for my ice cream. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, my daughter asked for a dollar to buy ice cream from the ice cream truck while I was on my computer working. Out of my wallet she took a fifty dollar bill. The ice cream man got a big tip before driving off. FML
Today, I went to buy some frozen yogurt. I filled up a cup and the cashier rung it up. The total price was $6.92. I only had $5 in my wallet. So I gave her the $5 bill and went to my car to get more money. Little did I know, there was no money in my car. So I drove off. Leaving the $5 behind. FML
Today, I was so broke, I couldn't come up with enough change to pay the parking meter at my job. FML
Today, after finding $50 on the sidewalk this morning and feeling like the luckiest person alive, I got a parking ticket for $60. FML
Today, I walked ten miles to pick up my car from the towing station. Turns out there was enough change for the parking meter in the glovebox after all. FML
Today, I got a $20 tip from an old lady I delivered pizza to. Ecstatic, I walked back to my car where there was a $30 parking fine waiting for me. FML
Today, I gave my friend a ride to town so she wouldn't have to pay the $10 to park. While waiting to pick her up, I grabbed a bite to eat. Upon returning to my car, I found a $55 parking ticket on my windshield. FML
Today, I waved money at a passing ice cream truck and it kept going. So apparently I can't even get a date with a Sno Cone. FML
Today, I was at work, when this guy came in and paid for his ice cream, then handed me a dollar. I've never gotten a tip before, so I looked at him and said, "Thank you so much, I appreciate it." He stared at me with a weird look for a moment, and then said, "Can I just get that in quarters?" FML
Today, while working as a parking booth attendant, I decided to be nice and give a woman free parking. I said, "Give me a high five and I'll give you free parking, since I already did the paperwork." She said, "I'd rather pay," with a really disgusted look. I also had to redo the paperwork. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is one of the many reasons that I never pay for anything with cash that I can use a card for :-)

He could mean using a debit card. Those work on a "how much cash do you have" basis. When you run out, you can't buy anything with it until you replenish your account. Or they could be like a friend of mine and just using a credit card so they can establish good credit. Credit cards really aren't a problem if you pay your bills like you're supposed to. OP: It's a pretty mild thing to post an FML over, but I don't see why everyone is giving you guff for wanting ice cream. Like no one else has had a strong craving for a specific food and gotten disappointed when they couldn't obtain it... It's normal. However, there should have been a sign on the meter saying when you didn't need to pay, so you should have been paying attention. Plus you really should try to carry at least a little extra cash on you. I clicked both YLIF and YDI for that.

Hey, I use a credit card for most everything, and I am debt free. There's a difference between using a credit card, and using a credit card improperly. I get cash back and make money off of my credit card, so don't judge.

I think you're just a moron for not knowing your city codes for meters. Forget the overbearing desire you had for ice cream.
