Today, I busted my ass to help this old lady move her stuff because she was going to a nursing home. I was told I would get paid. When I finished four hours later the lady took me to a room and told me to pick out anything in her little goody bag. I got a race car as payment. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I helped an elderly lady put a bookshelf in her car. She then thanked me by hitting me with her car as she drove out of the parking lot. FML
Today, after a weekend of helping my sister-in-law move out of our house, vacuuming and mopping her bedroom and bathroom for her, scrubbing her walls and cleaning her shower, transporting her furniture, and getting her carpet professionally cleaned, to cover costs she offered me $14. FML
Today, the old lady I've been taking care of and running errands for died. She hadn't paid me yet. FML
Today, I got a $20 tip from an old lady I delivered pizza to. Ecstatic, I walked back to my car where there was a $30 parking fine waiting for me. FML
Today, while buying paint, I began to help an elderly woman working to lift some heavy boxes. She told me what a nice young lady I was. Then her boss came over, screamed at her for being lazy and fired her. She cried. So did I. FML
Today, while I was delivering pizza in the torrential downpour, I waited 5 minutes in the pouring rain for an old lady to dig 20 bucks out of her purse. Her total was $19.99. She told me to keep the change and make lots of money. FML
Today, I helped a lady carry her grocery bags to her car. She was so grateful that she offered me a tip. I refused, but she insisted. When I finally took it, I looked at the bill to see she'd given me $1. I smiled and said thank you, but she looked at me like I’d just robbed her. FML
Today, I decided I'd sell an old motorcycle I had, in order to help with the bills. I had to be at work at the time when an interested buyer was to show up, so I entrusted my mother with the exchange as she's unemployed. Mom pocketed the money and bought a new freezer for her house, and won't pay me back. FML
Today, I was working at the grocery store and a very old woman wanted to give me a tip for bagging her groceries. She slid a quarter into my pocket against my thigh as deep down as she could get it, then she gave me a smile and a wink. I was groped by a grandma. FML
Today, I decided to cover a coworker's closing shift because she felt sick. My boss even gave me a $10 gift card for doing it. I felt good about it, until I walked outside and found that my car had been stolen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

WTF is wrong with you people? He was told he would get paid. I'm 100% sure if you were told you'd get paid for helping someone move and ended up with after 4 hours of work was a racecar, you'd feel prettying ******* jipped and pissed. The fact that she is old is irrelevant. Again, this isn't a quick random act of kindness, this was taking 4 hours out of your day to help a complete stranger move and not getting paid after being told you were.

Saying "jipped" is racist, by the way. Comes from "gypped" as in "gypsy." Not a big deal here in the States, but if you ever visit Europe, you'd better be careful who's listening when you say that. Might as well walk into a Church's and say, "Hey, what's a niggah gotta do ta get some chicken 'round here?"

Who needs money when you can have a RACE CAR?!

#178. The fact that she is old is a very big factor. It tells us that she most likely doens't have much money, or many friends who are capable of helping her, if they are alive. Poor lady had to lie to someone to get help, it's only 4 hours, suck it up.

First off, old people live either from a very badly paid pension, or from their savings. It kind of sucks you can't do something for free for the elderly for once...

aw, she actually sounds like a cute, old lady. YDI though for being a greedy jerk. ever heard of community service? stop being the selfish douche that you are and be appreciative that you actually helped someone in need today.
