Today, I was at a restaurant with my boyfriend. He wound up drinking a whole bottle of wine, and when the bill came, he drunkenly yelled at the waiter, claiming it should be free, because he's in the military "fighting for your freedom." He's a mechanic in the National Guard. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was eating out at a restaurant with my family. My dad had drained most of our bottle of wine, so thinking he'd be a little less uptight than usual, I reached over to pour myself some. He swatted my hand away and started yelling at me for being a "degenerate drunk". FML
Today, at a fancy date, my boyfriend said he forgot his wallet. I was instantly furious, threw a drink in his face, and yelled that he was a no-good, tiny-dicked broke loser. Dripping wine, he then said, "…but I can still pay with my phone. You didn't let me finish." FML
Today, I was bartending. A guest was getting belligerent so I had to cut him off. He called me a bitch and threw the rest of his drink in my face before storming off. The belligerent asscandle was my boyfriend. FML
Today, some guy walked into the restaurant I work at and ordered enough food to serve the entire National Guard of Texas. He thanked us by leaving a $0.50 tip and shitting on the bathroom floor. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to a family dinner. It went well, until my dad got drunk and started telling everyone about how "midgets" are assholes and are ruining America. FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me from jail, expecting me to bail him out. He'd tried to buy a load of booze at the liquor store and came up short by ten cents. The cashier refused to be short-changed, and he figured the only reasonable reaction was to punch her in the face. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument at a restaurant with a guy I am seeing because he refused to let me pay for the bill and I thought it was sexist. When he finally agreed, I gave the waiter my card, only to have him return a minute later telling me it was declined. FML
Today, my dad drunkenly ranted about how I should volunteer for the military because of the crisis in the Middle East. I refused; I'm in college on two scholarships and have listened to stories of why his service still gives him nightmares. I had to hide all the phones to keep him from calling the recruiters. FML
Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. FML
Today, my boyfriend got drunk and had a fistfight with a dumb teenager, which was bad enough, but he also lost the fight, which was just pathetic and embarrassing. FML

Considering you have to put up with that kind of embarrassment, I hope they DID give you a free meal.

I think you misread. No one is talking about a free medal. Meal*

I hate it when I see other members of the force demand free stuff, I feel embarrassed when people pay for my meals, but demanding it? Especially from a weekend warrior that probably hasn't even seen the uglies of war...

Thank you for your service, I have many friends that have deployed w/ NG more than active duty members

You can tell so much about people by how they treat waitstaff at restaurants...

I have had many meals and the such bought for me while in uniform, but out of uniform, you have to remember that you are still a representative of the US armed forces. I can understand asking for a military discount, which most places have, but to demand something free... he needs to be shown what the army refers to as a "shark attack." Maybe that will teach him some manners

******* disgrace for us that are actually serving every day of our lives on ACTIVE duty ... Loser

National Guard still serves every day. I might not put a uniform every day but I still represent my state and my country every day. I have had to put my civilian life on hold numerous times due to military obligations. And yes, I have also deployed. I have seen just as many ate up active duty soldiers as I have national guard. So, get over yourself.

Are you serious? If he's not even active duty he's not risking anything. My boyfriend did three tours active duty in the army and is now in law enforcement... Get real what a loser

You obviously know very little to nothing about the military.. Kudos to your "boyfriend" he can do better.

Only douchebag military people do that! From a former Army, Navy and national guardsman that is the epitome of douchebaggery! Someone that uses the uniform to get free shit doesn't deserve to wear it!! Kick him in the balls and leave his dumb ass! Find a real soldier! Like an infantryman!
