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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

42, the word ****** is fairly old and has a few definitions, most of which aren't at all offensive, and when used offensively, it isn't always referring to gays, just as the word ***** is often applied to a woman you don't like without necessarily implying they're easy. More to the point, don't be an overly PC cry baby. 49, Thank you on behalf of everyone for NOT posting your pic of you no doubt ugly mug as your avatar.

YDI. Honestly, is it that hard to keep an eye on your bank account and how much money you have? I hope you learned your lesson.

FYL for having a nice waiter? Please YDI for not paying attention to how much money you have. Learn to check how much you have before going out to do anything. I'd also say that YDI for not getting of your ex-fiance, but I don't know how long it's been so I can't judge.

49 - "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." Wow. Is that how your friends act? If so, get some new ones. I know mine aren't after my money. Maybe she just forgot to transfer some money over? And who said she had no cash? Her card was declined. She probably had other means of payment. And what if she had gotten laid off? What if she didn't have a steady source of income? What if she did but she was running low? There's so many things that we (including you) don't know about the situation, so before running your mouth like a sugar-hyped 14 year old , think.

#29 She said the waiter was cute, which means she thinks he was attractive. It doesn't necessary means she's attracted to him. It may sounds stupid, but they're 2 entirely different things. For example, she can also think that another woman is good-looking, but she doesn't have to be attracted to her. It's still YDI either way, because 1: She wastes her time flirting with random strangers for no reason, and 2: she doesn't check her credit card.
