Today, after talking to the man whose car I scratched, we agreed that the damages and cost of repair were so low and instead of me paying I just buy him coffee. When I showed up he saw me, decided I was too ugly to have coffee with, and instead demanded full payment in cash. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, a guy hit my car, and I threatened to sue him after he started the conversation rudely. He told me to go ahead, because he doesn’t have any money or a job anyway, then because from his perspective he had nothing else really to lose, he kicked my ass. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop with my friend. The guy rang her up and said it was only a dollar as he winked at her $10 purchase. Then he rang me up at completely full price. She got his number and I got to be the ugly friend once again. FML
Today, I rear-ended a car on the parkway. We pulled over, the guy told me his car was fine, and then asked me out on a date. It was only when I said no that he decided he wanted his car fixed. FML
Today, my date made me pay him for picking me up, and taking me back home. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to my work, at a drive thru, in my car, and then got mad at me because I wouldn't give him free food. In his anger, he put my car in reverse and backed out of line very quickly, only to smash into a paying customer. FML
Today, I got my car back from the repair shop. After paying $400 for them to fix the scratches on the driver's side door, some one decided to key both sides of my car while I was on my lunch break from work. FML
Today, as I served an elderly man at the fast-food restaurant where I work, he leaned over the counter so that his face was mere inches from mine and asked me if I wanted to buy his car. When I politely told him I wasn't interested, he insisted on making a complaint about me to my manager. FML
Today, a guy's car broke down in my street, so I helped him push it into my driveway, checked his car out, and gave it a jump start. He thanked me, then as he went to pull out, he instead smashed straight into my car. FML
Today, while parking my car, I accidentally bumped into the car in front of me, making a small, barely noticeable dent. I felt bad, wrote an apology note, and stuck it on his windshield. An hour later, he replied by keying the entire right side of my car. FML
Today, a cute guy asked me out for coffee. I like him but didn't want it to be easy, so I said, "Coffee dates are for broke bums, aim a little higher." He said, "Aight I will, peace out" and walked off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

DW op..You curved a bullet.

you DODGED* a bullet

I had to look up what "DW" stands for, lol. But how is it dodging a bullet when OP now has to pay for the damages instead of just paying for coffee? They weren't on a date or anything.

"Coffee" isn't a euphemism?

Probably left her phone number

I assume OP accidentally scratched his car while it was parked, then left a note apologizing/putting her number for him to call.

What a jerk! Especially if op went out of her way to leave a note (which is what sounds like happened). Most people would've left asap instead of leaving a note claiming responsibility; and then this guy acts like that, total jerk. Hand over the money, and hopefully you never have to be around that guy again; he, unfortunately, has to live with himself and eventually that'll be hard to do. It's a shame that the saying, "no good deed goes unpunished" tends to be so true.

4, I can't tell if you're joking or not, but they had already met in person since the accident happened in person...

Obviously they hadn't met before otherwise he wouldn't have suggested a date instead of money.
thatweirdasian 22
Oh goodness, I wasn't saying they had met each other before the accident. I suck at wording my thoughts. Sorry!

I'm guessing he was single and hoping that something more might come of this coffee date. The good news is since the cost was low it hopefully hasn't set you back much.

I wouldn't pay him a thing until he actually gets an estimate from a repair shop so that he doesn't try and rip you off
Brandi_Faith 34
I completely agree.

Legally he can't do a damn thing. He has to report it when it happens. Tell him he's a dumbass and should've just had you repair it to begin with.
pokemonareugly 12
In California at least you don't have to report it unless it costs more than 750 dollars in damages

Joke's on him, no wonder the only way he can get a coffee date is by writing off someone's debt if he behaves like that.

He couldn't really say, "Have sex with me to make up for the damage," but that is what "having coffee" is code for.

Make him get an estimate and report what happened. He could always lie about how much the cost of repairs will be. Also, you could pay him the cash and he could always come back later through a more legal route and demand money. Since you don't have anything documented, you'll be legally obligated to pay him even though you had already given him money. Or he could harass you to keep giving him money, and if you eventually have to go to the police, they wouldn't be able to do crap other than maybe having you issue a restraining order or something since you don't have anything documented. I know this is a lot of 'worse case scenario' shenanigans, but this guy is a stranger and you don't know how he will act. Wading through papers and documentation can be inconvenient, but it can protect you from a lot.
