Today, after a long day at work, I was starving, so I stopped by the drive-through for something to eat. When I got home and hurriedly opened the bag, all I found inside was napkins. Thanks, McDonald's. 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 McDonald's to get breakfast. I sat my food down at a table and went to get some napkins and a straw. I returned to the table to find that my food was gone, and could hear nothing but "SUCKKAAAA" trailing from the entrance to the restaurant. Some jerk stole my meal. FML
Today, after a long, horrible day at work and some fighting with my family and my girlfriend, I decided to cheer myself up by going to McDonald's for a change. I burst into tears when the cashier told me they couldn't make me a Mars McFlurry because they'd run out of ingredients. FML
Today, my mom opens at McDonald's, and I go with her to chill before walking to the bus stop. The lobby was closed. I had to shit so bad, I was knocking on the door, and usually they let me in, but nobody noticed. I had to shit so incredibly bad. so… I went into the car and found an old McDonald's cup and some napkins… FML
Today, I opened my front door to see that someone else's McDonald's was delivered to me overnight, but the food was all moldy. The one time I get free food… FML
Today, McDonalds charged me 21 cents for a honey mustard packet. The jerk manager made me break a $50 bill. So I grabbed all their napkins, carried them into the parking lot and tossed them all into the air in protest and drove off. Down the road, I realized I left my wallet at the counter. FML
Today, after a long and exhausting day at work, I had no energy to do much of anything, so with that in mind, I got Arby's on the way home. When I did get home and was trying to carry the bag inside, it ripped open and spilled my food all over the driveway. FML
Today, while using the restroom at McDonald's, a hand reached under my stall and took the remaining toilet paper. FML
Today, after stopping to pick up dinner at a fast food joint, I got a nosebleed. I immediately reached into the bag to grab napkins and began stuffing them up my nose, only to find out too late that a mustard packet had burst in the bag. FML
Today, I was waiting for my food at McDonald's. I watched the most obese, sweaty man sneeze into the chips, wipe his nose on his hand and use his hand to shovel chips into a bag. They were my chips. FML
Today, I was exhausted after a long day at work and didn't feel like cooking so I went to a drive thru. I placed my order, went to the window and paid. I then drove off without my food and didn't realize it for a couple of blocks. I was too embarrassed to go back and get it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is why you check to make sure they got your order right before you leave!

Hey at least he got the healthiest meal you can get :p
EduJav321 24
Why didnt check what was in the bag before leaving like any normal, decent person
jazzy_123 20
specially since McDonald's always ***** up the orders. It should be a habit to check the bag as soon as you receive it.
IloveToLaugh143 21
OP, you didn't notice the lack of smell, weight, or heat. You didn't deserve this, but you also can't place all the blame on McDonald's either.

Instead of getting into the habit of checking the bag before you leave, why not just DONT go to McDonald's? No one is that tired or that hungry that they need to subject their bodies to that shit. You deserve it. Shitty food and shitty service. Next time make yourself a pb&j if you're desperate. And I sound judgemental but I really don't care. I don't understand why anyone ever needs to eat fast food.

bitch, mcdonalds is ****** awesome
jazzy_123 20
141, because when you're too damn hungry to make food and you want it FAST then you go get FAST food. You don't have to be such a negative Nelly.

We can't blame him when one is tired all of our senses are weak.
xsydneyx123 28
Lol. You didn't expect good service, did you?

The bastards always forget my sweet and sour sauce!

After two years of working at McDonald's and giving the best service I can, I gave up because the customers were assholes. A vast majority of them treat workers like they're trash. But hey, my motto was always 'At least I'm getting paid to work here, not paying to eat here!'

After having worked 2 years in McDonalds myself, i completely agree with 98. I honestly feel that customers should be handed an iq test at the door to be completed before being allowed in. If they get below 20 they should be barred from entry. Although, that would cut off the majority of McDonald's customers...

You guys can down vote me to oblivion for saying this, but honestly mcdonalds workers don't get enough credit. You all run your mouths but i can bet you that you have not worked in fast food if youre complaining like that. A lot of these workers are teenagers trying to save up money and i think mcdonalds is run pretty damn well considering how young workers are and how busy it is most of the time. Its as simple as checking your order before you leave...its really not that hard i can assure you
makitokito 14
Its also not that hard to follow an order on a screen in front of you. Around here its pretty clear you need a college degree to manage working fast food.

I have worked in a fast food place. I am not claiming that I got every order perfect, but I never forgot to put food in the bag.
jkmartinjk 16
@180, it's certainly not difficult (a monkey could do it), but unless you work for the Westboro Baptist church, you deserve to be treated with respect at your place of work, and everywhere else for that matter.

I'm NOT loving it. That is exactly where I went to when I got off work this morning and it tasted horrible. But yet I went lol

OP this is why you check the bag before driving off!

I've gotten home from McDonalds before to find they had forgotten the meat on my burger. It was literally just buns and condiments. I haven't been and will never to go another McDonalds again because of that.

I've had almost the same thing happen, I ordered a sausage biscuit for breakfast and got just the biscuit. How do you forget the sausage in a "sausage biscuit"??
cryssycakesx3 23
they never mess up and give you something better though... :/
Simplyeatapples 15
Good thing you never went back... The food is crappy anyways..
freckleface221 19
This is why you check to make sure they got your order right before you leave!
cryssycakesx3 23
yeah, I can't help but to say YDI. McDonald's is known for ******* shit up and everyone knows you check your food before you leave. completely worth it to take a few moments and make sure you don't just get a napkin sandwich.
Joshwarrior 39
Yeah they should have checked and 2 they should have noticed that the bag weighed like nothing. Op got screwed but to some extent deserved it
nightbirdblue 27
I thought the whole check what they gave you was common for any type of drive through, pick up, or delivery service. If you aren't sitting down in the restaurant, then there is a higher chance of someone being lazy and thinking that you won't bother to come back to complain.

This is also why I never do the drive thru. It's just as fast if not quicker to park. Get out and talk to someone face to face

You didn't notice the lack of McDonalds smell once you got the bag?
BellaBear90 27
Or the difference in weight....
91hayek 31
Ahh yes I know that smell. The smell of late nights and drunk fights and lazy nothings that I will regret in the morning when with a sore head, broken body and self hate, I take a huge dump that somehow has taken the smell and transformed it into something even worse than I remember, thus completing the cycle of self loathing that comes with eating McDonalds.
sunshineb81 16
#7 mcdonalds smell is so strong that the napkins and the bag alone would smell like greasy food. Work in fast food for 5 minutes on Amy shift and your entire body will smell like French fries. Trust me.
sunshineb81 16
*any shift. Darn auto correct. Sorry
cosmicriver 17
If a heart attack had a scent, it would be...wait for it....McDonald's.
cosmicriver 17
That was interesting, quite decent and intriguing, as far as writing about McDonald's goes. You just made the process of eating McDonald's, digesting it and dropping it off at the pool sound interesting, and rather deep. Are you a writer? I am not being facetious.
cosmicriver 17
Hmmm
91hayek 31
Not a writer. Yet. Just a guy who once lived on nothing but McDonalds, terrible cider liquor, noodles and hot sauce for a month. Terribly unhealthy but greatly insightful into how much your body can take. You want insight into your lifestyle? Pay attention to what comes out of your rectum.

That must have been a lot of napkins for you not to realize!!!
ironichalibut 24
Maybe all they ordered were ketchup packets, so it could've been hard to tell. Either way, I'd have gone back and complained that they'd forgotten my ketchup packets.

The napkins are probably better for you than the crap they put in their food
uoeno_fml 20
They're made from trees so that's a vegetable, right?
squarecircles 13
At least more fibre anyway
Shaowolf 17
They should've put baby oil in it as well...
OysterPearls 33
Baby oil? What did you have for breakfast this morning?!
cryssycakesx3 23
that surely sounds delicious...
graceinsheepwear 34
Well, now we know that #10 uses baby oil and napkins for his self McFun.

Check your bag next time..
