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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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
Today, I gave my niece a $100 bill instead of a $10 so she could buy ice cream. When I realized my mistake, she never returned it but thanked me and gave me a big hug. Now I don't have money for gas or food all week. 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, 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 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 the mall, I saw a girl crying that her ice cream had fallen on the floor. Feeling generous, I bought her a new one. She threw it on the ground, laughed, and came over to her mom and told that I was bothering her, so the mom called security. FML
Today, I had to go down to the county police department to bail out my kids who thought it would be a good idea to try mugging an ice cream truck driver. FML
Today, I had to watch my neighbor's daughter for 10 hours. She wouldn't eat anything I had to offer, so I ordered a pizza for $19 + a $5 tip = $24. Her father came by to pick her up, thanked me, and gave me a $20 bill. I effectively just paid to watch his kid. 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, a lady handed me a $10 tip on a $45 bill. I was happy with it, since it was more than 20%, until she came back in and said, "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong amount." I handed it back to her and then she gave me a dollar. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If she was young enough to think using a fifty is ok, sounds like she wasn't old enough to be going out to the truck alone, so.... yup this ones on you OP.

Is it really warm enough in New York for the Ice Cream Man to be doing rounds.

It was probably just a pedophile.

If your daughter isn't old enough to know the difference between a $1 bill and a $50 bill, then she shouldn't be old enough to know how to take money from your wallet and she's not old enough to run outside the house to visit the ice cream man. You deserve it. Consider it a $50 fine for not taking care of your parenting duties. If you don't start soon, dealing with your daughter will get much more expensive as she gets older.

I wonder how old your daughter is... Hell, for all we know, if your daughter is old enough, and you weren't present during the time of transaction, she could have kept the rest for herself.

$1 dollar Popsicle + 1 Shiney New iPod shuffle = $50, yeah your daughter's a smart one.

it's your fault for letting her get her own money, but then you have the icecream truck driver who basically robbed you.

The icecream man thanks you for the tip! :D He will no longer stop by your house in fear that you will want your $49 back :)

I'm thinking your daughter is 38, lives at home and weighs in at about 350. I'll bet she scarfed down about 30 bucks worth of frozen treats, and gave the ice cream guy 20 bucks to show her his cherry Popsicle and two scoops of vanilla ice cream.

That was quite the colorful description, Perdix.
