Today, my roommate and I were watching TV, and he ordered a pizza. After it was delivered, I took a slice. He yelled at me for taking his food and told me to stop mooching off him. I had to cover his rent last month and he still hasn't paid me back. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was bitched out by a pizza delivery man. I didn't have the cash to pay him for a pizza I didn't even order. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza online to be delivered to my apartment. After an hour of waiting, I called the pizza place to ask what the problem was. Apparently, the people at the apartment below me took my already paid for pizza and ate it. FML
Today, my roommate and I had to pay our first installment of rent. He's nowhere to be found. FML
Today, my roommate came home from work and yelled at me for my dinner being too spicy. The same dinner he denied stealing. FML
Today, I opened the door to a pizza delivery guy. I hadn't order any, but I thought maybe my roommate had. As he handed me the box, I said, "Thanks, you too" when he told me to enjoy my meal. He stopped, looked confused, and said, "Wait, what?" before leaving. I then realized my roommate was out of town and I’d just taken someone else’s pizza. FML
Today, I told my roommate she had to pay $55 to replace a piece of the oven she broke. She told me I was being selfish and decided to illegally break our lease because I was, "making her feel unsafe." Now I not only have to pay for the oven repair, I also have to pay her next two month's rent. FML
Today, I texted my flatmate to ask him when he would be paying his portion of the rent, since he has told me he would be late this month. He wrote back to inform me that he had moved out last night while I was away, and that he won't be paying me anything. FML
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, I ate dinner sitting on the floor. My petty roommate got pissed off during the weekend and decided the appropriate action would be to lock all the furniture in her room and refuse to give it back. FML
Today, my roommate played a crazy April Fool's joke on me by not paying his rent this month. Good one. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sucks about him not paying you back, but you don't just take things without asking.

First off, what kind of word is mooching, I mean, how should you be supposed to have a serious talk when he uses that kind of vocabulary ;D second, why didn't you just say : oh yeah? pay the rent! , eat the slice and go back to watching the film?..I mean, your roommate is clearly not in the position to be stingy about anything if he doesn't pay rent OP..

He also should be eating cheaper stuff than pizza if he can't pay rent.

Your roommate is a douche for not paying rent, but unless you have an arrangement where he pays you in pizza, it's still really impolite to take someone's food without asking.

Tell him you'll take it off his tab

If you can pay his part of the rent, why don't you live alone? Kick his worthless ass out!

maybe he took it out of his savings or maybe got a loan from a family member? he just said he covered it he didnt say how. maybe it was a one time kind of deal.

Well like if you didn't ask for a piece I can see why he got upset like at least ask, and yes it is unfortunate that you aren't being paid back but really just make it clear to him your upset about it and if he's a decent person he will pay you back but if he doesn't than tell him he's going to need to find a new place to stay.

A bunch of people said it's impolite to take your roommates food, which it is, but if a roommate and I are hanging together and one of us orders a pie, we either talked about sharing, or it should be implied on whether or not there will be any sharing. Saying I'm ordering a pie," or adding "for myself, do you want to order anything?" And if I'm behind on rent the least I can do is share my pizza.

Well, that's you and your flatmate, but the OP said the flatmate ordered a pizza for himself.

foh, no the OP did not, he said were watching TV together and the roommate ordered pizza. My point is if you are hanging out with someone and you order a whole pie, you ask "Hey are we sharing this?" "I'm getting this for me, do you want something?" Some kind of question. Generally you don't eat a whole pizza in one sitting, and you offer to share with people kind enough to pay your rent. Itinerant I'd let him keep at least one, because happiness has some value, unless they were completely irresponsible.

The fact that this was posted from Bangladesh puts me in awe. I'm so happy that FML is a universal thing and isn't something restricted to only western/European countries. :')

Call him out on it. Also what kind of a dick orders a pizza and doesn't share.
