Today, I finished a website that I have been working on for ages for a friend. He tried to repay me by offering to teach me to play table tennis. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I beat my extremely competitive friend in a game of pool. He responded by breaking a pool stick over my head. FML
Today, I played a table tennis final in public. After winning, I went to shake my opponent's hand. He doesn't react or move. It was only the first set. FML
Today, I was playing tennis with my friend. He hit a ball up high, and I slammed it down, thinking there was no way he would get it. Feeling pretty good about it, I turned around to celebrate. As I turned around, I got smacked in my face. He got it. FML
Today, after playing numerous games of poker against my friend, and him telling me that I'm the best poker player he's ever met, I went out and played for real money. I got totally destroyed, lost all of my money, and was laughed out of the building. FML
Today, I went to play pool with a couple of friends. I'm not very good at this game. My friend beat me fair and square. Twice. He's blind. FML
Today, I spent all day doing a project for myself and then for a friend who's sick. Turned out it was a prank everyone in the class was pulling on me. I missed a baseball game because of it. FML
Today, my girlfriend beat me at ping pong, twenty to three. She said I let her win because I don't respect her, then stormed out of the room. I'm just really bad at ping pong. FML
Today, a friend wanted to show me a game he bragged he was the best at. I beat his score on the first try, and now I have a black eye to prove it. FML
Today, I was teaching a ten year old how to play piano. Halfway through the lesson, she made a minor mistake, which, trying to be a good tutor, I corrected her. She smiled up at me, paused, then slammed the key cover down onto my fingers. FML
Today, I handed my friend a $50. I paid her to take care of my farm on Farmville, feed my fish on Fishville, and flip my burgers on Cafe World, while I went on vacation for a week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for not setting terms before starting the project. How does it feel to be used?

Nobody ever pays me in table tennis lessons :(

Did you agree to do it by just him asking or did he say he would pay you? If he said he would pay then don't give him the log in information until he either pays you a flat fee up front or signs an written and notarized agreement to pay a percentage with you as a "partner". And if he refuses use the website yourself, what's the problem here?

Who said his friend is a pro?

Well, if he is a good player it would be extremely useful! It's a great game to play with your buds and earn some quick cash.

If it adds to your beer pong skills, maybe.

That's a good deal if he's a pro. Lessons are expensive. If not, FYL.

Lesson learned: ALWAYS get your money up front. Especially when working for friends!

Or he could screw with the website and have a little fun! I'd love to see his friend's face when he tries to use the website. EDIT: Forgot I was on random FMLs. I guess this comment will never be seen by anyone. Oops.

Maybe if you got really good and started betting money. But he would probably just try to teach you how to golf.
