Today, I had to watch my neighbor's daughter for 10 hours. She wouldn't eat anything I had to offer, so I ordered a pizza for $19 + a $5 tip = $24. Her father came by to pick her up, thanked me, and gave me a $20 bill. I effectively just paid to watch his kid. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while delivering pizzas, someone ordered $19.41 in pizza and wings. After finally finding her appartment, she paid me in two sandwich bags full of pennies and nickels. I had to count them out before giving her the pizza. We aren't allowed to enter the residence, and it was 22 degrees. FML
Today, I babysat for my neighbor's brat kid. The mom gave me $15 for 5 hours. I complained to my mom when I got home because last time I got $15/hour. Turns out my mom had told my neighbor that she thought they'd paid me too much last time. Thanks mom. Thanks. FML
Today, I tutored a kid for two hours, for $25 an hour. When it came time for them to pay, my mother told the kid's parents that they could give me ten bucks for the whole thing. She does this a lot. FML
Today, I was delivering pizzas for my summer job. I got a big order to deliver for a fellow graduate's party. While I was being paid for the order my friend shows up and says "Don't pay him, his parents are rich, he can handle it." Then they shut the door and took off. The bill was $75. 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 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 ordered pizza for dinner and left cash by the door so my son could pay for it, in case it arrived before I got home. I told him they should get all the money, but I just found the tip. Apparently he thought I'd miscounted. I'm a server. FML
Today, I babysat the neighbors’ evil kids. They dropped them over at my house and I played with them for five hours. After taking the brats back home and putting them to bed, their mother asked me what time I came back to the house. She only paid me for the 20 minutes I was in their house. FML
Today, I had to pay my manager $10 just to take my stalker's order so I didn't have to. FML
Today, my daughter asked for a dollar to buy ice cream from the ice cream truck while I was on my computer working. Out of my wallet she took a fifty dollar bill. The ice cream man got a big tip before driving off. FML

$20 for 10 hours is stupid. Why were you even willing to do something without knowing how much you'll get out of it?

2 dollars an hour? That's ridiculous! and yeah, I wouldn't have caved to that girl's demands. I'd ask her what she wanted and I'd make it for her. but a whole 24 dollar pizza, negative!

$2.00 an hour is WAAAAAY below minimum. He got a deal. Make sure you're unavailable the next time he calls.

Did you tell him that you ordered pizza for his kid? Did you remind him how long he was gone? You could have haggled for more if you did a great enough job babysitting that he'd want you back. I would have just told the kid they were going to go hungry if they didn't eat what I fixed. They can suck it up if they're hungry enough. Picky kids don't get any sympathy from me.

Kids are bastards. YDI for watching kids in the first place. And accepting to get paid 2 bucks an hour. Retard.. Oh, but you DO sound like a nice person. To order pizza, I mean. Nice of you. Just... Nice never gets many people anywhere. God, I hate people nowadays. Especially adults. Mostly because of this site.

I wouldn't have bought the pizza. If the girl got hungry enough she would have frigging eaten whatever was in the house.

$20 for 10 hours? that would suck even if you hadnt ordered the pizza. thats like $2 an hour. People should pay babysitters at least what minimum wage is. but hopefully you got to eat some of the pizza too
