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?

I would let the kid go hungry. I'm not paying for the thing, eat what's in your house or you're not hungry enough to eat. I hope you learned your lesson. That sucks. :[

if they wont eat anything then don't order food. just wait awhile, eventually they will get hungry enough to eat something.i do that all the time. and even if you don't get them to eat something, tell the parents when they get back that you offered them food all day but they kept refusing, at least that way you won't get into trouble if the kid tells them that you haven't been feeding them.

yup, what #246 says. if you cave in to kids they'll get super spoiled and won't ever try different foods. next time, stand your ground. kids don't need so much junk anyway.

w0w what a rip off! I was paid $20 for 3 hours when I used to babysit. I guess you're not a very good babysitter, huh?

why would you Pay a 5 $ tip??

you are dumb for buying 1 pizza for 19 dollars. you can get 3 pizzas for that price from dominos (with tip), or smaller pizzas for less money. you need to get paid more than 20 bucks for 10 hours too, that is completely unreasonable.

OK, so you aren't a professional babysitter. But how much pizza did you expect the girl to eat? You want her dad to pay for your pizza? You still have it! My thought is - if she won't eat, she's just not hungry enough yet. And yeah - find a more reasonable pizza joint, nice tipper that you are...
