Today, I was at the gas station with my grandma. After I slid her card and began to pump, I convinced her that it was a lot easier and more convenient to pay at the pump with your credit card instead of paying inside. She yelled as I realized I went $20 over what she had to spend. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, when paying for gas, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet back home. After a moment of panic, I managed to remember my card number. I paid, blowing the cute cashier's mind, and drove away, before my car started sputtering and slowed to a crawl. I'd used the wrong fuel. FML
Today, I stopped at the gas station to fill up my tank and get some snacks. I paid the cashier, then got back into my car, totally forgetting to pump the $50 worth of fuel I'd just prepaid for. Too bad I didn't realize until my car came to a sputtering stop about a mile down the road. FML
Today, I pulled into the gas station to fill up only to realize I had forgot my wallet. By the time I went home, got it, and came back, the price had gone up eleven cents. FML
Today, I went to the gas station, paid the clerk, and drove off without pumping any gas. FML
Today, a woman came into the gas station where I work, yelling because her credit card wouldn't read at the pump. I politely told her that I could set the pump up for a set amount, and she could swipe the card at the register. Her response? "You need Jesus." FML
Today, a woman came through my drive-thru and ordered a latte, but the bank had closed off her cards and she was short 30 cents in cash. I felt bad, so I paid for her. When I went home, I told my dad what I did, thinking he'd be proud of how he raised me but no, he said I'd wasted my money, and made me feel bad about it. FML
Today, I was so engrossed in a phone call that I drove off without pumping gas after I'd prepaid $50. FML
Today, I was shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart with my mom. As we pulled up to the cashier, I noticed it was a really hot girl from my school. Trying to be cool, I told my mom that I'll be paying for the purchases. My debit card was denied. My mom had to pay. FML
Today, while driving my grandma home from a family dinner, I had to pull into a gas station, because my tank was almost empty. She became convinced that someone would kidnap her while I went to pay, and eventually threatened to blow us up by tossing her lighter at the gas pumps. FML
Today, my aunt and I went shopping. When we got to the store, she said she forgot her wallet, and I told her I would buy some things for her. When we were at the checkout, I was a dollar short. She said, "Oh, I'll get it!" and pulled out her wallet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It is easier. Just have someone competent doing the pumping.

Sometimes people like you just need to realize that you're not always right and don't always know what's best for other people. Next time, do as your grandma asks and you won't have an FmL to write.

I don't know about you guys, but I thought this conversation was going a completely different direction when I first skimmed it and saw "I slid it and and began to pump".

What are you talking about, lilhellian? Autocorrect is not to blame for your post...just had to rush to be almost first, didn't ya?

It's also apparently a lot more expensive to do.. At least when your grandson has ADD

Its going to be a lot more expensive when you realize that someone spent 2000 dollars using your credit card. I never trust those machines all those new ways to make a duplicate of my card, I'll stick with cash.

if someone overcharged your card by 100x what you spent, you would probably emd up rolling in money from suing their asses off. that is identity theft and its very illegal, and the chance of someone you paid with a card stealing the number and spending your money is astronomically low. at least not without you being reimbursed. cards have anti fraud safety nets set up as well. your fear is illogical.

Is your emoticon supposed to be a deformed pig? or is it a double Hitler mustache? I'm confused.

Or next time, he could watch how much he's pumping and pay attention, then he would have been right.
dontpanic_fml 32
Exactly, 14. Because he is right, it's a lot easier.

Or put a limit on how much you want to spend so you cant pump too much.

FY grandmas life.

No problem. She can always dig through dumpsters for food until the next Social Security check arrives. She'll be amazed by the high quality of the food that people put to waste. After that, it's Cash Only. Of course, if she sees the vast financial upside of dumpster-diving, she'll have tons of money to blow on pretty baubles for you!

My grandma would have tried to get her money back lol she's cheap

Cheap or frugal? Most grandparents don't have lavish incomes to live off of. They have to spend their money wisely. And OP should def pay the diff for the fk up.

Wow, you had to pay more because you didn't pay attention. Thats the ultimate wordplay.
