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 wouldn't do that guy a favor again.

omg when i was a teenager, this happened to me ALL THE TIME with this one lady. but she was my mom's friend, so i really couldn't say anything. haha as soon as i was old enough, i got a job so i could tell her i was always too busy to watch her brat for free. have a backup excuse ready anytime they ask you to watch their kid again!

$19 for a PIZZA?! Are you serious? In the UK you can buy a large pizza for about £5, good quality too!

When I was little and wouldn't eat, my parents would tell me, "Well, breakfast is tomorrow. It's a long time until then."

The $20 for ten hours is bullshit but as far as the pizza goes that's your fault you didn't agree with the parents they'd pay you back for it, plus you shouldn't be feeding kids that crap anyway, they don't need junkfood and if they get hungry enough they'll eat anything.

Is it really such a horrible thing to do a favor for your neighbor? There's nothing wrong with babysitting your neighbor and family friend's kids for free. If you were so set on money, you should have settled it before they left.

No, the OP paid $4 to spend ten hours watching some kid, and possibly get some pizza.
