Today, I got robbed at the gas station I work at. After only getting $38 dollars out the register, the guy then stole my purse. It had my rent money in it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a couple came into the gas station where I work to ask for directions. While I was giving the woman directions (and even writing them down to be as helpful as possible), the man stole my wallet out of my purse that was sitting on the other end of the counter behind a display. FML
Today, I was robbed while working overnight at the gas station. They demanded I give them all the cash in the register. Seeing they were armed, I was reduced to tears and complied. They mocked me and took a video with their cellphone. When I told my boss, he promptly fired me for not “fighting back.” FML
Today, I was standing in the gas station, pulling out my wallet to pay the $100 of gas I just filled my car with. I opened my wallet and found a note saying "borrowed money for food". FML
Today, I was robbed while recovering from a robbery. FML
Today, the police called because someone had turned in my wallet that was stolen. I happily drove home only to find that my house had been robbed and ransacked. FML
Today, I got mugged. I also got an extra kick in the face for not having money in my wallet. FML
Today, I got mugged. I almost felt sorry for him: he got a $15 cell phone, a frozen debit card, a credit card with only $50 of credit left on it, and no cash. FML
Today, I got mugged. As the guys who took my purse were about to walk away, my cellphone rang in my pocket. FML
Today, since it's company policy, I had to go to the back of my small store to retrieve an item for a customer, even though I was working by myself. I came back to find that since she couldn't get into the cash register, she found and stole my purse instead. FML
Today, I used a public bathroom. I hung my purse up on the hook on the door. Two minutes later, a hand reaches over the door and steals my purse. I got robbed while taking a crap. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

well I'm sure your landlord would understand that your money got stolen and give you some time..
Captain_Obvious2_fml 6
no, he/she wont. They will show some sorrow amd maybe give you an extended date, but they will not allow you to skip rent no matter the cause.
Idonebeenhad 17
say he got into the vault somehow, then take the money :)
dolphincheddar 10
yes that's what I meant. an extended date. most landlords would give them a little bit of time unless yours is one of those asshole ones. either way the situation sucks

Sorry, I didnt read that last part

Look on the bright side OP, I was on jury duty a few weeks ago, with a guy charged with exactly that, albeit with the caveat of a deadly weapon(I'm gonna assume that was the case for you too) and he got 30 years.

YDI for working at a gas station... unless you're saving for college.

Jackpot!! Depending on where you live and what kinda apartment, rent money can be high as $1,500!

totaly agree 82 if you work at a gas station your life is probably a fail

Nobody that works an honest job deserves to get robbed; though when you work at a gas station it may not be best to carry large amounts of money.
je_suis_fml 11
Large amounts of cash on person in this day and age OP? FYL(andlord) for not taking checks (giving you the benefit of the doubt)...

Perhaps your landlord could make an acception, my father is a landlord and if he heard of the situation he wouldn't mind.
dre_bro11 12
damn kid, it's exception, not acception. My phone doesn't even recognise that as a word.

just saying, if it were me i would have raised my hands and said 'shoot'. before you call me crazy most robbers dont want to take a life for either moral or logistical reasons, so saying this would suprise him to say the least. then while he was stunned i would give him a titty twister and grab the gun (worked the last time, and that was paintball)
brenkite 5
I agree with 62, if where you live mugging is likely than get a license for concealed carry

Only $38 in the register? You deserve it. What happens if I had come in with a $100 note and only filled $40 worth of gas. you won't be able to give me enough change.
MizzErikaHart 8
it's not uncommon for places to not accept bills over $20.
marinus_fml 20
Wtf! honestly, how can you expect someone who pays in cash at a gas station to possibly fill less than $20. Thats just ridiculous.
unluckiestperson_fml 14
With the price of gas nowadays you can't spend as little as $20.
MizzErikaHart 8
u could always use 2 or 3 twenty dollar bills. but a lot of people don't wanna accept 100s cuz the risk of them being counterfeit. and if u have the sign saying you dont accept such bills, potential robbers may not follow through cuz it wouldn't be worth their while.
Lifeisntfair13 0
actually #5 where I live in the gas stations theirs a sign that says the maximum that the person behind the register can have is $50
wolflover44 5
In the Tim Hortons I work at we take $100 bills... The coffee is $1.94 for an extra large... I don't see how a gas station wouldn't take a $100 bill.
bluetorpedo 0
If your only filling $40 worth you've got one tiny ass car. Or your just stupid as hell. why would you pay for $40 of gas with a $100 note? use a card or go the to ATM if you really need that $40 of gas badly....
SLC_grumpypants 5
95% + pay using a debit or credit card these days. It's not uncommon to have that LITTLE of cash in the register.
cuntfacekillah 5
where I live, gas stations won't take anything larger than a $50 after 10:00 because they only keep $100 in the drawer. during the day they'll take any bill.
scrapmetal58 9
uh.... not everyone completely fills their car when they get gas...
Sunny_Eclipse 6
"...after getting ONLY $38..." OP never said that was all that was really in the register.
stoptrying 9
They deserve it because they didn't get enough people in to have over $38 in the register? Yeah, that makes sense.. if you're an idiot.
Legendslayer222 26
76, so you're saying there might have been more money in the register where the thief must have seen it, but they didn't take it?
OceanProtection 0
I love the guy that says "your stupid as hell" ...sigh. lol :) And not all of us drive flatbeds bud, there's more to life then monster trucks and rhubarb pie!
SteveOsWifey 5
how is it her fault that there was only $38 in the register!?
bluetorpedo 0
consider the price of gas..... mom has a colbolt and it's $50 from empty. plus it's not a flat bed, it's a 9'x7' box. custom made at work.
stacianichole 2
anytime you get a check cashed or withdraw money from your account you have the option of receiving your cash in small bills. gas stations get robbed, keeping the drawer low is a tactic to deter robberies. let's say a robber sees a lot of large bills. that robber is more likely to hit that gas station than a place where all the cashier has is tens, fives and ones. get it? ask for $20's. done.

that cheap guy from two and a half men only fills $3.25 and he used $0.75 to buy a chocolate bar at the gas station :)

You're screwed. Unless the thief was your landlord.
FMijnLeven 11
You are also screwed when it WAS him. I don't think the landlord would say: ''Ooohh. Don't worry, I robbed it.'' ;)

most tenets already think their landlord is a thief. mostly they are correct.
