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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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."

op- don't pay her for using your truck and then doing the right thing in filling it up. everyone else- will someone please explain to me what the deal is with writing "First!!!!!" ? who gives a flying ****, especially when they don't actually comment on the FML.

so i'm not trying to be rude but your life is not ****** you would have had to fill it up anyways, and you kinda deserve it for expecting something for free. but at least you've got a full tank!

The landlord got to use his truck for free instead of renting one, plus he didn't ask her to fill up his gas tank, so why shouldn't he expect that for free? I don't really see your logic here.

You should add it to the rent but then deduct $50 for letting her use your truck

OMG Guys! Somebody who time traveled from the 1700s found FML! Welcome to the future, where Men and Women have equal rights. If you keep saying shit like that, you're going to be mauled by 50,000 women ;D

This man speaks the truth. If anything they owe YOU money for gas and mileage.

I hoped that the awkward spacing in 29's comment meant that they would make up a witty rhyme/song. No, it was simply an irritating waste of my life, reading it with nothing to gain.

Yeah, if they used gas for moving, it's on them. Don't pay for the gas or they'll be walking all over you.

i don't get it really... you got a full tank, that you were going to have to do anyway... and you don't have to pay a service charge? YLIA

What's with all the assholes on here who think that it is ok to borrow someone's vehicle, and not have to pay for the gas they used in the process?!
