Today, I was at a goodbye dinner with friends before I move back to America. A friend called to cry over relationship problems she refuses to fix. While I was outside trying to politely get off the phone, my friends ate and drank everything I'd ordered and closed the bill. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my friends and I were going to Applebee's. A girl we don't like invited herself along. She waited for my friend outside of the bathroom, forced her to drive her, and said, "It's okay someone will pay for me." She then ate off of everyone's plate and left before the bill came. FML
Today, I was saying goodbye to all my close friends before I move out of state. I'd made plans with one friend in particular to meet up before I move away; he didn't bother to respond to my message or calls. Guess I confused a coworker for a friend, huh? FML
Today, my best friend came over for dinner and a movie. Moments after arriving, she spent an hour on the phone, and ended up accepting another invitation before leaving. I guess it's dinner for one tonight. 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, my friend took me and a bunch of other guys out to a nice dinner. This was his way to say thank you for helping him move to a new apartment. He got the cheque, excused himself to go to the restroom and never came back to pay. FML
Today, I took a friend out for what I thought was date. After dinner was over and I paid, she pulled the bill out and wrote her name phone number on it for the waiter. FML
Today, my friends decided to throw a going away party because I'm moving. It would have been great if I had actually been invited. FML
Today, my date received food she didn’t order, and instead of eating it without complaint, she sent it back. When I got up to leave, she began to cry. FML
Today, I served my good friend and his girlfriend at the restaurant where I work. They did a "dine and dash". FML
Today, I was invited to a birthday dinner at a restaurant. As I was leaving, I get a text from the birthday girl's boyfriend saying that it was cancelled. Hungry, I decided to go to that particular restaurant anyway. Turns out the party wasn't cancelled. Half the party just didn't want me there. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Be glad you are moving if those are the kind of people you will be leaving behind!

Well, this could go either way. It's only an FML if you go back and still have to pay. If not, grab a pizza and you'll be fine.

Well, that's food for thought.

I think that's sexist.

Doesn't "closed the bill" mean they paid for you? If you were gone a long time they probably thought you stuck them with the bill, so they paid it.

Great example of the stuff we miss out on in our own lives when trying to help someone who won't help themselves.

That's is so true. This is really random and a bit irrelevant...but one of my old housemates was a girl who had all sorts of relationship and mental problems that she refused to try to fix or help. Me and my other housemates spent months trying to cheer her up and help her forget about it, but in doing so, we missed out on so many things during our second year of university. It made me realize that we're only on this planet for a short time...so what's the point in helping people who won't help themselves, when you could be helping yourself have a good life instead?

And this is why we don't pick up calls when we are out with people. You made the first faux pas, your friends just topped it.

One time, I answered my phone at Taco Bell while eating lunch with a friend. I was then berated by an older man eating lunch with his wife. He claimed that "Youth has no ******* respect for people these days. It pisses me off when a person answers their G-damned cell phone at lunch. They should be taught a ******* lesson." This happened after I and my mortified friend sitting next to his booth were obligated to listen to his conversation with his wife about his detailed sex life and new positions wearing him out. My parents were calling me about school information. Some things are worse than a phone call at dinner/lunch. Yuck.
