Today, I thought I'd finally make a step towards getting over my ex-fiancé by flirting with a cute waiter. I left him a note on the bill. He comes back, says "which one of you is [name]?" and leans down close to me to say, "Thanks for your note, but your card was declined." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while I was leaving a restaurant, the very handsome waiter, whom I had been trying to hit on all night, said to me, in front of everyone, "Why did you write your phone number on the table with hearts around it? You know I won't call you." FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. When it came time for us to leave, I saw him write something on the receipt for our waitress. I managed to get a quick look; it was his number. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. After dessert, he went to the bathroom so I quickly called the waiter over and paid the bill, thinking it was a nice gesture. When he returned, he broke up with me for "emasculating" him. FML
Today, my fiance's divorce was finalized and we went out to dinner to celebrate. I stepped away to use the bathroom, then came back to a note on the table saying, "I'm going to enjoy single life, thanks!" He left me with the bill. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with some friends. I noticed a very cute waitress about my age, so I walked over to her and asked if she had a boyfriend. The extremely fit, attractive waiter standing next to her immediately turned, held out his hand and goes, "Yeah. Meet me." FML
Today, I was out to dinner with a friend I had a crush on. The whole time, he was flirting with the waitress while I was trying to get him to notice me. When we got the check, he looked at her and said, "She's not my girlfriend, I only go out with pretty girls. So, can I have your number?" FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me out to dinner, which we never do. While at the restaurant he gets down on his knees, looks me in the eyes, and pulls out a little box. He opens it and inside is a note that says 'We're Done.' He then leaves me at the restaurant with the bill and the $2.00 box. FML
Today, I went out with a friend to grab some food and we were served by this really cute and fun waiter. Stepping out of my comfort zone and deciding to do something crazy, I left my phone number on the bill. I got home only to realize that I forgot to pay the bill. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner date. Our waitress was really sweet, so we talked about leaving her a big tip. When we got home, we discovered we both thought the other person had left it. FML
Today, my boyfriend brought me to a restaurant on a surprise date. I guess he didn't know that my ex-boyfriend now works there, and that he would be our waiter for the evening. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He said thanks

He was nice about it though! Embarrassing, but at least he didn't shout it across the restaurant or anything.

#14, you sound like a real ****** who not many many women would be interested in anyway, so why don't you keep your opinions to yourself. The waiter had to tell you, it was part of his job. But he did it in a nice way so other people couldn't hear and he didn't ignore you note, which he probably would've done if he wasn't interested. Would be pretty embarrassing, but could've been worse. =)

#14, how do you know she was JUST going to get married? It can take a long time to get over somebody. You shouldn't just make assumptions. #21 said everything I was thinking. :P

I don't think this is an FML other then your card getting declined. He leaned in close to you to say it which means he was probably trying to save you from the embarrassment of the whole restaurant knowing your card was declined and he said thank you for the note, rather then ignoring it. He had to tell you your card was declined because that's his job. If he wasn't interested he probably would have pretended not to see the note. He sounds like he is really nice. Maybe you should give it another try. =)

I agree 100% with #21. But hey, don't be discouraged.

YDi. Don't flirted with people you're not attracted to just to get over somebody. It's not going to do anything to you or to him.

Why is that an FML? Was your card declined because you've maxed out your credit limit because you don't have the money to pay your bills, or did it just not swipe properly?

OUCH!

Thanks to the Credit card companies nowadays, cards are getting declined over bullshit right and left. Don't feel too bad about it, trust me, anybody in the service industry right now understands this all too well. #14 is a douchebag.

those of you saying "YDI for flirting with someone you're not attracted to" are ******* stupid as a pile of week old horse shit, in the OP's statement "cute waiter" = likes the looks of the waiter = ATTRACTION OP that sucks as all hell but #21, 23, 28 are all right in my opinion
