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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my favorite restaurant with my mother. The food took a little longer than usual to arrive and my mom threw a fit, complete with kicking and screaming, in the middle of the restaurant. My mom and I are both banned for life. FML
Today, I planned a lunch out with my mom for Mother's Day. She seemed excited about it and "couldn't wait!" She never showed up. FML
Today, I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice dinner before prom. Her parents followed her in, and joined us to "keep an eye on me." They interrupted all our conversations, ate an expensive meal, then got up and walked out when the waitress brought the $95 check, leaving me to pay for it. FML
Today, at the restaurant I work at, my own mom refused to give a tip and complained to my boss. FML
Today, I went to eat with my girlfriend, her parents and my mother. My mother complained about every aspect of the service. When I told her she needed to assert herself, she took her pocketbook and hit me over the head. The whole restaurant stared at us while she yelled "Is that assertive enough?" FML
Today, I went to a restaurant that I always go to, and one of the cute waiters gave me a discount. My mother called me a whore in the middle of the restaurant, then slapped me when I cried. FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML
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 mother gave me a reprimand for my table manners when I didn't ask for someone to pass the vegetables I could have gotten myself. She then let out a raunchy fart at the table, and had the nerve to yell, "Did you ask to be excused?!" as I vacated the area. FML
Today, my friend and I went to a really expensive restaurant. We got really bad service, so halfway through the meal we decided to dine-and-dash. Turns out I left my purse in the restaurant. With my I.D. and everything inside. FML

What are parents teaching their kids these days?

Sounds like quite the role model you've got there.

That the servers do all the hard work for no pay! I hate dine and dashers, despicable people, let alone an adult teaching their child that. Disgusts me.

She could have just told you she didn't have enough money. It would be embarrassing but surely better than dine-and-dashing your own child. Unless your mom's a total bitch all along, in which case, FYL OP.

Sounds like she's a total bitch because it was her idea and she said it was her treat.

22- if the mom knows she is going to a fancy, expensive restaurant, then she should've brought enough money

You spelt atheist wrong...

I hope you brought money. Even though she was supposed to pay it's always good to have cash on you. And when you see her again make her pay you back.

Or, if OP wanted to guarantee that the business received their money but didn't want to pay her mother's bill OP could have talked to the manager about what happened, paid her half of the tab and gave all of the mother's information (Name, address, phone number) to the restaurant. The business wants the money, not to put someone behind bars (in cases such a this).

That's a good idea. I'll have to remember that if I am ever dine-and-dashed.

I'm sorry but that's just too funny. Lol, but really mean too. But really funny, if my mom or dad did that I'd laugh so hard but be so pissed that I had to pay o.O

You seem to be conflicted at the moment.

She did kind of raise you, so you're even. Sarcasm.

OP could have been raised by an aunt and is visiting their mom for a meal.

Wow lol. Get her back somehow, Karma's a bitch. It was just too good to be true. Sorry OP.

Oh don't worry, karma is a serious bitch, just like your mom apparently.

I really can't stand assholes like that, especially when they're supposed to be someone that is supposed to support, love, and cherish something as close as a child.

Sorry, OP. Did you call her on your phone?
BellaBelle_fml 23
No, she called her mom on her B.S.
