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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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*

Okay a) why wouldn't you be proud to have a boyfriend making a contribution to our country, no matter how minuscule you think his job is, he probably works harder than most do! B) if you don't feel that way, maybe you should consider down grading and he should upgrade... Just a thought

Don't underplay mechanics or the guard. Both play vital roles in our nation. Every tank on our side I maintained by someone, without them. We lose wars. Tankers don't fix their own things.

I've heard it said that subconscious thoughts are brought out by booze. I don't know if it's true but if so, your boyfriend's an arrogant tosser. I'm sure you can do better.

I honestly can't believe OP said "" for your freedom" he's a mechanic in the National Guard" I don't care how dumb anyone acts while intoxicated, RESPECT those that serve! To all y'all on here that have, currently & will be serving God Bless you! OP: You're the rude one in my book!

I think for a decent part of the army it goes to their heads. Example: this guy I know in the army didn`t sign the birth cirtificate of his daughter because she has alot of medical problems and he didn`t want to be responsible to pay and even after it was DNA test proven that she is his... the army didn`t do anything (they did the DNA test). The other guy I know who is a sniper for the Army happens to also be the father to my son who he has NOTHING to do with because when he comes home he is too busy sleeping with anyone who will open their legs for him simply because he is in the Army and he makes sure everyone knows it. I`m not dissing everyone in the Army, but I do think it goes to peoples heads... such as in ops post...

Yes, it happened to someone I know as well, the first 'soldier' she married was a serial cheat and a wife beater and the one she married afterwards turned out to be a paedophile. After that I don't think I would ever trust soldiers.

No, I think there are a few bad seeds that people assume is a representative as a whole.

My husband is amazing, doesn't cheat, is great with his kids and provides for his family. So maybe people should find better qualities in men and quit spreading their legs for losers and then complaining they didn't turn into Mr. Right. You may not disrespect the entire military or branch because of your bad choices. Of course there are assholes in the military, but there are assholes at Walmart too..

The father to my son isnt even on his birth cirtificate because he "isnt ready to be a dad" I was 19 at the time of my sons birth and he was 21... my son is now 3 and he has nevered laied eyes on him...
