Today, I dined and dashed. Upon reaching my car, I realized I had left my seven year-old daughter in the restaurant. FML

Today, my mom and I went out to a fancy and expensive restaurant per her request; she told me it was her treat. After we ate our meals and the large check came, she excused herself to the bathroom. She didn't come back. I was dine-and-dashed by my own mother. 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
Today, while visiting family, we went to a restaurant to eat. Towards the end of the meal, I went to use the restroom. When I came back, everyone was gone. Everyone had actually gotten into their cars and left without me. I have no idea where I am and no one is answering their phone. FML

Maybe they took her as payment. She'd probably be better off than with you.

You guys sure go hard on him. Did you even happen to concider that he might not have been able to afford food? Your all good and holy mindset makes me want to vomit. People like you, are the best material for manipulation.

then he shouldn't go eat at a restaurant, it's common sense, if you can't afford it don't do it! and you obviously have never worked in a restaurant so shut up.

If he/she "can't afford food" then he/she has no business being in a restaurant! I am sure that if OP had even $3-$4 something could be purchased from the dollar menu at McD's or the grocery store to suffice for a meal. If not, there is always the food bank or soup kitchen! Dining and dashing is THEFT and yes, many restaurants make the waitress pay for it. Dine and Dashers are the scum of the Earth stealing from waitresses who do not even make minimum wage! A$$hole...

Seems like you guys haven't tried starving in your life before. If i would be starving and my kid would be starving , i would do the exact same thing as OP. Desperat times require desperat measures.

Thing is, we haven't heard anything about him being too poor to afford food. All we know is that he went to a restaurant and wasn't going to pay them, and it's a bad idea to just make up some mitigating circumstance that you treat as a fact.

I did not treat it is a fact. All i wanted to say that it might be not as simple as it seems. People are too fast to judge.

Of course everybody's going to be hard on this guy. The idiot was stealing, WITH his kid, and then he LEFT THE KID BEHIND when he tried to run for it! I don't care if you are starving, there are other options available. Don't stick up for a complete asshat, please. It only makes you look ignorant.

@205 - I can't tell if you're being serious, or are just really, really dumb.

The OP had a chance to share exonerating circumstances. They didn't. There's as much reason to assume they had an actual need to do this as there is reason to assume they're a jerk. So don't get on your high horse about people making an assumption equally qualified with yours. Just as it could be more complicated than it seems, it can also be exactly as simple as it seems. I don't see the OP coming forward to clarify or offer any additional context.

You are an imbecile. If he can't afford food, how can he afford a car? So if he is poor as hell, it is ok for him to steal a car... or even better, steal gas from petrol station too? Even beggars have more integrity and morals than him (AND YOU) Dumb idiots like you piss me off so much. THINK (if you even have a brain) before you open your damn bloody mouth.

This has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever read in my entire life. Grow a ******* brain and think before you post stuff online.

Dine n dash= your a douche! That poor waitress. Many places make the server pay for the meal if you dine and dash which means not only does that person have to serve you but then has to pay because your an a**. & your kid should be taken from you.
