Today, after having a few beers at a bar, I gave my ticket to the valet to get my car. I tipped the man $2 and he gave me a huge smile and thanked me a lot as I left. I thought the guy was just really appreciative for those $2 until I got home and saw one of the $100 bills in my wallet was gone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML
Today, after finding $50 on the sidewalk this morning and feeling like the luckiest person alive, I got a parking ticket for $60. FML
Today, a customer handed me a 100 dollar bill. He then told me that it was my tip for doing a good job. He snatched it away just as I touched it, laughed, and said, "Just kidding." He then took his money and left the store. FML
Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML
Today, I was complimented by my guests about the great of service I was giving them. They then left me a $2 tip on a $50 tab. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket. I put the ticket in my bag and accidentally left the bag in my friends car. When I returned, the car window was smashed, my bag was gone. I had to call the police department and ask them to send me a new ticket, on top of the $1000 or so I'd already lost. FML
Today, I was working as a Valet driver. After getting no customers for 5 hours in the pouring rain, a woman driving by stops and asks me for directions. Before leaving, she said, "I should probably tip you for that, since that's probably the only money you'd get all night." She didn't. FML
Today, I went to have a drink with my friend. On the way I withdrew 20 bucks and when I arrived at the bar I realised I had taken my credit card but not the banknote. FML
Today, I put my paycheck in my wallet, intending to cash it in the next day. Later on, I met up with a friend and went to a party. I ended up getting so drunk, I gave away my $400 check in exchange for a pack of smokes, thinking it was a $5 bill. FML
Today, I was waitering at the restaurant that I work at when I collected a credit card bill that was worth $120 and a big zero on the tip line. Angered, I turned to a co-worker and said "I knew this asshole wasn't going to tip me." The guy was standing right behind me with $30 in his hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

FYl for losing the 100 dollars unexpectedly but on the other side think of it this way. That guy is probably going to go home and tell whomever *wife, girlfriend* about the generous person who left him such a nice tip. He probably thinks you genuinely meant to give it to him and I am sure that made his day. SO although it would suck being out 100 smackers you prob made some guy happy.

Everyone else that the valet dealt with that night probably got awesome service. So even though you're out 100 bucks, at least a lot of people benefited from it. I'd say YDI. Next time try to be more organized.

YDI. but think of it this way: the karma circle noted your impending impaired driving and cheapness. your due was losing $100. coulda been worse. you could have lost 200, or if you were really an asshole you could have hit someone/thing.

I agree with #49. Also, I'm not going to say you deserve it, because I don't know your life and situation, but you really shouldn't carry two hundred dollar bills in your wallet. You could've been mugged, forgot your wallet in your inebriated state, etc. I also agree with someone who said, "Consider it a good deed. Everything happens for a reason."

OMG it took me so long to get this fml LOL I’m so use to being canadian, that I thought the fml read ... Today, after having a few beers at a bar, I gave my ticket to the valet to get my car. I tipped the man a “toonie” and he gave me a huge smile and thanked me a lot as I left. I thought the guy was just really appreciative for the “toonie” until I got home and saw one of the $100 bills, which the valet had stolen from my wallet was gone. FML At first I was thinking 1. if this fml is real then all you need to do OP is go back and report the valet 2. why would anyone leave their wallet inside the car in plain sight with $100 bills inside of it before going into the bar. That would have been a ydi 3. why was the valet overly smiling at OP in the first place, if he didn’t steal the money until after he got the keys and tip from OP. It was such a wtf moment, but then after reading the comments I realized ooh op is american that explains it. Only a drunken american idiot could have confused $2 for $100, with their one coloured money and worthless 1$ bills.

Similar happened today to me, I was sure i gave the cabby a 5$ bill, but i had given him a 10$ bill, so I refused the change. 5$ isnt as bad as 100$ of course, so FYL.
