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?

Agreed with #2... don't ever babysit for him again. $20 for 10 hours? That's 20 cents an hour... is he crazy?

#19 like he said, since they were not his kids, let them starve if the parents of the child will not stock the kitchen with food that pleases them. When I babysit, I will not pay for anything. It's not my job to supply food for the kids, it's just my job to prepare it. mac & cheese anyone?

19 bucks is an expensive pizza 5 dollars is a 26% tip You should have been payed at least 80 bucks for that (minimum wage) You agreed to this YDI

Explain that to the girl's father. It's an unspoken law of babysitting that you reimburse the sitter for whatever food they buy.

maybe the dude thought favours are sometimes free and thought you decided to do it out of kindness? so you're out $4... build a bridge and get over it.

#19 don't be ignorant a kid won't starve the would eat when the figured out how hungry they were. If you cave to a kid and get them anything the want you fail. You let your kids know if they cry enough they can play you. Oh and #25 that's two dollars an hour not 20 cents. Epic math fail go!

I agree her Dad was a cheapskate, but you should have told him you had to spend the money on her. If he has a problem with that, tell him he has to provide her meals whenever you babysit since she won't eat what you have.
