Today, I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice dinner before prom. Her parents followed her in, and joined us to "keep an eye on me." They interrupted all our conversations, ate an expensive meal, then got up and walked out when the waitress brought the $95 check, leaving me to pay for it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom and I went out to a fancy and expensive restaurant per her request; she told me it was her treat. After we ate our meals and the large check came, she excused herself to the bathroom. She didn't come back. I was dine-and-dashed by my own mother. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML
Today, my date unexpectedly brought her friend to dinner with us. They seemed bored of me after ten minutes and left me out of their conversation for the rest of the night. Oh, and they made me pay for both of them. FML
Today, I went on a date. I took her out to an expensive steak house. When she was done eating, she got up, said she was married, and told me she only accepted the date because I'd be paying for it. FML
Today, I had my first real meeting with my girlfriend's parents. We had dinner at a pretty upscale restaurant and everything was going great. When the check came, I offered to pay and I stood up to take out my wallet. When I opened it, 3 condoms fell out on the table in front of them. FML
Today, I was out on a dinner date when suddenly a girl walks up to us and says to my date, "Girl, you can do so much better." Hearing this, my date looks at me, nods, gets up and walks off. I still had to pay for everything. FML
Today, my friends took me out to the most expensive restaurant in town to celebrate my promotion, we ordered everything with expensive drinks too. They 'took a smoke break' and left me with the bill. FML
Today, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly to a restaurant. I paid the restaurant to play romantic music, and paid for the best table available. As soon as we finished our meal, our families gathered around and I proposed. She laughed and said no way. FML
Today, my girlfriend chose the most expensive restaurant in town, then spent the entire time facebooking, texting, and playing games on her phone while I dined in silence. This is the second time we've been out this week. She didn't even eat her food. I didn't even get a thank you. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If they were going to spy on you, they could've gotten another table nearby and bought their own meal. Not that it's okay for them to spy on you, but that just made it even more rude. Why would they want to "keep an eye on you" during your dinner only? Did they think you guys would have sex in the restaurant?

Her parents sound like assholes. Seriously, who does that? My parents are protective but if I go to a RESTAURANT with a friend/s they just drop me off and pick me up when I call them to get me. At the very least if they were going to 'keep an eye on you' (which is ridiculous seeing as you were in a public place) they should have gotten a table of their own and paid for their own meals... If I were you I would have specifically requested a table for two when I got to the restaurant. That way when they sat at a different table you wouldn't have been given their bill. A $95 bill is hard for a high school student, must have made quite the dent in your budget =( I bet they ordered all the expensive things too.

an expensive dinner is when it costs that much for just you and your date..you got off easy

I'm assuming the kid is in high school, thus a 98 dollar check is quiet expensive. And the worst part is that the parents who are adults is making a kid pay. Pretty shameless adults that girl got as parents.

it's prom he already knew it was going to be costly and $95 bill is $20 meal and drink each plus tax that's a regular meal

53, if you spend $25 a pop at McDonald's, you're a gigantic fatass and no amount of bragging about your math skillz will ever change that.

You sir are an insensitive prick who is probably 300 pounds and was pampered until he moved out, to that poor guy, $90 is a lot of cash, he probBly doesn't have some overpapmpering parents like you
PeteyPablo12308 20
From the looks of you batman, you probably need at least 90-100 $$ to go somewhere by-YOURSELF.

deputy I agree under 100 for 4 people is not expensive for a nice dinner- more like 300 ( and no I'm not some spoiled brat who mooches off their parents) ...though prom suggests the OP is in highschool so he's prob used to chain restaurant prices like the 99 ( which is nasty) and the parents should have paid for their own food.

Her parents suck. You should have told them beforehand that you're only paying for your date. Ha.
