Today, my landlord asked to borrow my truck to move some furniture. When she returned it, I noticed she had filled the gas tank up. I thanked her for doing so, and she handed me the receipt and said "just add it to next month's rent". FML

Today, my dad agreed to let me borrow the car to go rock climbing with my friends. He'd just filled it up with gas, which is how I realized halfway back home that one of my "friends" had siphoned well over half the gas straight out of the tank. FML
Today, while borrowing my girlfriend's dad's truck, I had to pay $120 to prevent it from being towed. I was parked right in front of my apartment unloading heavy furniture into my garage for not even 20 minutes while the apartment manager, who called the tow truck, watched us from his balcony. FML
Today, I took my partner’s car to fill with gas because mine was in the shop. Out of habit, I put diesel into the tank. We discovered it three hours later; the tow bill ate my weekly budget, the mechanic sighed through the repair estimate, and I spent the evening on hold with roadside help. FML
Today, I returned home from a 2-day trip. Before I left, I told my brother to move my car across the street when the street cleaner passes by. Turns out, he used all my gas and got so wasted he forgot to move my car. I got a big ticket that he said he'd pay for. He's unemployed and lives off me. FML
Today, I went to start my truck that I had parked in my driveway after a long haul. The fuel gauge indicated I had a full tank. I didn't fill up. My neighbours' son decided to fill the tank with water with a hose, 150 litres worth on top of diesel. His dad's response? "Kids eh, what ya gonna do?" FML
Today, I was standing in the gas station, pulling out my wallet to pay the $100 of gas I just filled my car with. I opened my wallet and found a note saying "borrowed money for food". FML
Today, my landlord emailed me, stating that she hasn't been receiving my rent. After some investigation, I found out she's been using the money to buy booze, and hasn't been putting it into the house owner's account. FML
Today, I'm so nice, I allowed my landlady to use my freezer in the hallway. In exchange, she's so nice, she feels entitled to take my food being stored in said freezer. FML
Today, I was helping my elderly landlady (75 years old) carry in her groceries. She said "Thanks" and then handed me a notice of eviction. FML
Today, I let my brother borrow my car, as he had a job interview. I told him the tank was nearly empty and gave him $20 to put some petrol in it. Ten minutes later, he calls me, saying the car won't start. He filled it up with diesel. It's a petrol car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Are you serious? I"m sorry but I was taught then when you borrow things you return them in the same condition if not better. I always borrow my friend's truck and fill it all the way up regardless of when/where/how long I used it. Even after he tells me I don't have to, it's been ingrained into my head by my parents and I've yet to meet someone that didn't like the gesture.

Buy her a birthday present (or Christmas, whatever the hell). When she says how much she likes it, hand her the receipt and say, "Just deduct it from this month's rent."

Get the tires replaced, make her pay for it, because it was her heavy weight that wore them out. Now, if you want to imply something with that sentence, you have my blessing.

Wow! How ungrateful!

Others have made a good point: just don't pay her back. Nothing in your lease covers a situation like this, so she can't evict you. Plus why should you have to pay for gas SHE used? If she got the truck with the tank half empty she should have filled it back up to that point. Of course not paying her will probably piss her off, causing her to look for a legitimate reason to evict you, so be careful. Regardless, this isn't an FML or a YDI. Why has this site become a forum for people to complain about stupid shit happening in their lives?

I hope you know that you do not legally owe that money. If I were you I would charge the going rate for however long she "rented" your truck. ****** bitch

Make up a receipt for the rental fee, mileage charge, airport fee, local sales tax, state sales tax, federal excise tax, death tax, etc. and make sure it is WAY more than the gas cost. Deduct the difference from your next month's rent check which should contain both receipts. She'll say she didn't know you charged for your truck, so she assumed it was free. Then, you tell her that you didn't ask her to fill up the gas, so you assumed it was a gift. Plus, it's the right thing to do when you borrow someone's vehicle.

fun fact, plexico, back in the day (which was was a wednesday, by the way), they did not have trucks to orrow, and did not refill anything with gas. they borrowed other forms of transportation and filled them up with slightly different liquids "...Cause Justice is the one thing you should always find You got to saddle up your boys You got to draw a hard line When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune And we'll all meet back at the local saloon And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing whiskey for my man, beer for my horses..."

Add the amount she spent on the gas then deduct how much it would have cost her to rent a truck and see what she has to say about that.

That is really rude of her, but I wouldn't really say its an FML. I mean you probably would have filled the tank anyways and now you don't have to waste the time getting gas.

Get rid of the reciept. No way can she prove it then.
