Today, I had two 100's and two singles in my wallet. The two 100's was for my electric bill and the two singles were for the bus. Once I got off the bus and to the electric company, I noticed only my singles were there. Turns out I paid the bus driver $200. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after rushing to the bus stop and frantically boarding at the last possible second, I realized that I didn't pay my fare with a single, but a twenty. FML
Today, I had to pay my bus fare in very small change. After carefully counting out coins under the withering glares of a bus-load of people, I quickly slid them into the machine, and somehow ended up jamming it. FML
Today, I got on the bus and the driver said I didn't have to pay since the ticket machine was broken. I was happy to have saved £2.40 until I realised someone had stolen my new £700 phone while I was talking to the driver. FML
Today, a lady came into my workplace to pay her $120 bill in one dollar bills. I kept losing count. FML
Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML
Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML
Today, I lost my $100 in cash that I had to use to pay my phone bill. As a result, my phone got cut off and I missed an important call for an apartment that I was looking at. When I went to work, I heard my boss saying how lucky she was to find $100 in cash. FML
Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML
Today, I had to take a taxi to work, because I was pressed for time, and didn't have a ride there. When I got to work, I paid the cab driver, and realized I had spent more money on the cab than I was going to make at work. FML
Today, I was running late for work and sprinted to catch the bus. As I got on, panting heavily, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet. The driver gave me a pity look and let me ride for free. I thanked him and sat down, only to discover I was on the wrong bus, heading in the opposite direction. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is why in Canada we have Loonies and Toonies (;

I still don't understand why people blindly reach into their wallets and give people money without checking. That's a stupid move.

The drivers fault for just taking them without saying a thing. This is theft.

To the people asking why he didn't pay his bill online, there are some places that absolutely REFUSE to put their bills online, making it impossible to pay online. :) Please, think before you post. Especially if this is a small town.

#64 even if its a small town, there is the option of telephone banking (at least there is in Canada). And that still doesn't answer the question of why OP (what is OP by the way?) Didn't look at what he was grabbing before putting it in the bill acceptor?

Oh, I think OP (Original Poster, btw) is stupid for not looking at the notes. :) And there are businesses here in my town that won't accept it online or over the phone. They're vital services, too. Obviously not everybody's towns do it that way, but I just felt the need to point out there are some places that aren't online.

So...did you just lucky-dip into your wallet?

Ok seriously!?! Who does this? Why wouldn't you have your $2 ready for when the bus came? Or look in your wallet, knowing the descrepancy in value between your bills? I don't know man, I've thought about how this can happen and I just can't figure it out

this is why Canadian money is way better, you can clearly tell which bill you're taking. american bills all look the same

also, no 1$ or 2$ bills = way better system

This is why Americans are idiotic to keep they're money all the same colour! That and we have coins.

OP, call the bus company, talk to a manager, tell them what happened. Remember what route you were on at what time, so they can find the right bus. When it comes off the road tonight, they should be able to give you the money back.
