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?

Not being able to tell the difference between $2 and $101 is too drunk to drive. YDI completely. Stop complaining and be grateful you didn't kill someone instead.

hmm a few beers to make you mistake a 100 for some 1s? maybe not.

So you've learnt 2 lessons today. 1) When drunk, it's hard to tell between the $1 and $100 notes. Consider removing the $100 notes before a night on the booze, or moving to a country that has $1 coins so it's impossible to mistake them. 2) It's never a good idea to drive home when you've been drinking. Heck, the damage can be done way before risking your life and the lives of everyone on the road by drink-driving. Not to mention the fact that a DUI ticket is probably a little more than $100...

he never said he was drunk, although he was still being stupid if he drank a couple and not just one, and he sold have just been a moron for not paying attention to his money and carring a $100

That's what you get for being a prick and carrying around $100 bills.

First, the legal limit in most states is a BAC of .08. For most drinkers a few beers won't even get you close to that. Second, it is probably safe to say that everyone who has ever carried cash has given someone the wrong bill by accident at some point. Third, even if the OP can afford to carry 100s in his wallet, it can still be an FML. He could have easily used it for something much more 'fun' than tipping a valet. Fourth, people should realize that OPs don't post on this site because they want commenters to tell them that what they did was stupid. Most of the time there is a good chance they already know that. They post here because what they have to say is entertaining. At any rate, the guy should feel good for making someone's day regardless of whether it was intentional.

At least you made another person's day. That's probably a better use of your $100 than spending it on drinks at a bar.

You deserved it. If you were so drunk you didn't realize that that $100 bill wasn't $2 (do they have $2 bills in the US? Canadian here. :S), you were far too drunk to get behind the wheel of the car, asshole.

And how is $2 to park a car cheap?! What does that take, 30 seconds to do? If you think about it, they could make a decent amount off of $2 tips.. Imagine how much they really make. I'm pretty sure they're overpaid for what they really do. $2 to park a car is by no means a bad deal.
