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

Embarrassing, but not really and FYL or a YDI. Cards get declined all the time, atleast mine does, and I have plenty of money. It sometimes is where you spend it or your bank can screw up. Atleast the guy likes you, though.

# 38 and 39, why do you use **** so much? Its only effective if you pull it out once at a good time. But, you just throw it around making yourself look retarded. In fact, you're probably just angry because you didn't understand the FML til you read my explanation.

#35, seriously what's wrong with you? This isn't an FML because two slightly bad things compounded off of one another. The two things are so trivial that they don't even count. Credit cards aren't declined randomly, so she must've had some idea it was going on and writing 10 digits on a receipt is hardly a technique that will work very often. To top if off, the guy was polite about it. So its really along the lines of "Today, I forgot my umbrella. Then it was cloudy. But it didn't rain. FML."

Well #46, please point out where it says she wrote her phone number? And jesus christ get off my dick, i said it was an FML, i didn't say it was an ultra-fml. I didn't even moderate it. I just wanted to say why it is considered an FML occurrence. All people like you do is come on here to debunk the FML and ruin it for everyone. You probably go to magic shows and ruin it for little kids too don't you? Congratulations, you're an asshole. If you don't understand what this site is trying to do, then go away.

#21 FYL for posting a picture of yourself as an avatar, you degenerate. You look softer than a terry cloth you asswipe. #22 hey retard read the post. She said her ex-FIANCE meaning that at some f***** point she would have gotten married. If she were that confident that she DID have the money she would have told him to swipe again but then again if it gets declined waiters tend to swipe it again just in case! That's embarassing and she deserved it. Now you look like a cheap ass in front of your friends and they probably wont want to invite you out since you may screw things up on a bill. Always make sure you have money in your bank and money in your pockets at all time.

# 49, for a 13 year old, you're kinda dumb. You missed what #22 was trying to say. She acknowledged the fact that the OP was getting married, and was stating that perhaps they had been ex-fiances for a lot longer than anyone here automatically assumes. She used something called emphasis, look it up. You just don't know how to read I guess.

huh, i guess i interpreted it differently; i thought that the waiter was rejecting her in a creative way, haha.
