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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

ok, everyone is complaining about the $20 an hour. in my opinion, the guy thought you were doing him a favor. he wasnt supposed to pay you anything. he thought u were just being nice. he decided to be nice as well and give you $20. be thankful

you must be quite large to eat 19 dollars worth of pizza. next time try ordering a smaller pizza. you did get screwed with the payment though.

Way to spoil the kid. If they don't eat what you make, they go hungry. Besides, the kid isn't gonna die from missing one meal.

wow if i were you i would have asked my neighbor to pay me a hell of a lot more. ten hours and only twenty bucks?! that's literally two dollars an hour. that's not even sub-min wage! you got majorly ripped off. you should have gotten at LEAST fifty. But also, don't give in to picky eaters, they just make your job more difficult. kids can eat what they're given, or they can go without.

Ten hours for $20? That's crap. I wouldn't babysit for him again. It should be AL LEAST $3 an hour. Plus, when a kid that I babysit is giving me trouble. I tell them that they're going to eat what we have or I can tell their parents when they get there about their tantrum.

Jesus $20 for 10 hours that's insane! You should have been paid way more, maybe $50+
