Today, a guy asked me out and said he was going to take me to a fancy restaurant where they make the food in front of you. I love Japanese food, so I was really excited. We went to Subway. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me at dinner, which would’ve been nice if we hadn’t been dating for only two months, and dinner was at Subway. FML
Today, while working at Subway, I was about to take a guy's order. He quickly held up a hand and asked for someone else to make his sub, because he doesn't like "ugly people" touching his food. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date, destination unknown. I dressed up, he had a tux on. We went to McDonalds. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I got reservations for a romantic dinner, and at the end, fireworks would spell out my proposal. The whole thing had taken weeks to plan out and had cost me a lot of money. She proposed to me at a subway station first. FML
Today, I was asked out by a friend of mine. He's a doctor and works at a prestigious hospital, so thinking we would eat somewhere special, I got all dressed up. We ended up eating at his hospital's cafeteria, because he gets a small employee discount. FML
Today, in break from tradition, I proposed to my boyfriend. We were at a Japanese Pagoda. Water was trickling everywhere; the moment was perfect. While I was on my knee, after pouring my heart out, he looked wistfully out over the water and said, "So, I was thinking pizza tonight." FML
Today, my wife of three years asked me to meet her for lunch at Subway. When I arrived, she was standing in the parking lot. She handed me a footlong sub, said "I got you a turkey sandwich" and followed it up with "And I'm leaving you." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was taking me out to eat to his favorite restaurant. He said I could order whatever I wanted and he'd pay for it. He took me to Red Lobster, knowing full well that I'm allergic to seafood. FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy. As soon as we sat down at the restaurant, he immediately snatched my menu and said "You're having salad." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why did OP assume it was going to be Japanese? And why is she complaining about getting a free sandwich?

17- Some fancy Japanese restaurants show you barbecue your food, so it really isn't a mystery why OP would think that.
ClassyCommando 13
Lots of restaurants do that, and OP could have just asked "What restaurant are we going to?" and she wouldn't have had any further problems.

Hibachi resturaunts are amazing!

I'm also wondering why the OP automatically assumed that making food in front of you automatically implies Japanese food. On the other hand, the guy did say "fancy restaurant" so it was misleading.

#1 do u consider subway fancy then? lol come on man! OP, he was probably trying to b funny, if not, FYL, because im just wondering what he would consider NOT fancy if he thinks subway is...... lmao

Mc donalds, that's what.

The only restaurant I've ever been to that makes the food in front of you is Japanese restaurants. I know there are others, but I think it's the most common which is why OP thought that. But still, free food is free food, unless he made her pay.

He never said he was taking you to a Japanese restaurant, but if he drove past a really fancy place that serves food in front of you, stopped then drove to Subway then that would have been awesome. FYL if only for the fact that Subway is terrible.

It sounds like you just said yes because you thought he was taking you to a fancy restaurant.

I agree with 1. Maybe he can make up for it later by "eating fresh"

Why would you assume it's Japanese food? lol

Oh that's made my day! So funny!!

Because at japanese steakhouses they have a skilled chef perform cool tricks with knives and you sit around in a half circle and watch him showcase his cooking ability and the food tastes absolutely dandy. I take it you've never been to a place like that.

Ohhhh. How fancy! A place that makes sandwiches in front of you! Geez, and I thought he was going to take you to one of those tepanaki places.

Sigh... What people post just to try and be the first comment...
SpottedZebra42 14
No way! I thought the same thing too! Then again, I also thought for a second that I was reading an intelligent comment here....
zack11742 7
It was sarcasm jeez you people are harsh on here
R3TROxLOV3 32
No 85, it was a FAILED attempt at sarcasm. We're not being harsh, the comment was just stupid.
Furrywhiplash 14
Don't worry 85, the wickedness of the FMLers grows on you, you'll love to hate it eventually. Next thing you know, you will be cussing out some idiot for using "your" instead of "you're."
ProhibitionRose 14
85- wtf do you mean by "you people"?!
domking1315 20
#109 Imma take a wild guess and assume that #85 meant the people that commented..
ProhibitionRose 14
It was a joke. Jeez where's everyone's sense of humor tonight?
Michael_92 20
I left it at Subway.

Dammit, I thought I was getting my money's worth from their logo engraved napkins. Oh well
cmac86 24
In certain parts of North America it is the only option around, so to some it is really fancy.

An old bf of mine once told me he was taking me to this nice new restaurant, the golden arches. Turned out to be McDonalds.
