Today, I was working my shift at a fancy restaurant and it had been a really hard day. My parents came in to have dinner and surprise me. After paying, they left a note saying they would see me at home. It also said "By the way, no tip, because you stink at serving." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I started my job as a waiter. I was excited when my first customer paid for the bill. I go over to the table, half-expecting a tip. I got to the table and no money was on the table. On the bottom receipt was written: "Ever heard of deodorant?" Apparently I smell bad. Thanks for the tip. FML
Today, at the restaurant I work at, my own mom refused to give a tip and complained to my boss. FML
Today, my horrible parents turned up to the restaurant I work at just to mess with me. Dad forgot his wallet, what a surprise, and asked me to pay the bill. I refused so my manager got involved. My dad got arrested, I got fired and might lose my lousy flat if I’m late on the rent. FML
Today, my parents came to the restaurant I work at as a waiter. After, I picked up the check to realize they had left me a $500 tip! We split the tips among the employees so I only got $50 back but I was still psyched. When I got home they asked me if I had noticed that they used my credit card. FML
Today, while I was working as a waitress, I had to wait on a table of 13 people. I was struggling through it and when they finally left I went by the table to pick up my tip. Instead of a money I got a napkin saying, "Here's your tip, don't be a waitress." FML
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 was waitressing for a huge family. Their bill was $750. Excited about the tip, I was shocked to see only $0.50. As they were leaving, I threw the two whole quarters at their heads. Guess who also got fired today. FML
Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML
Today, I was working in a restaurant. On the receipt under "tip" someone actually took the time to write out "$0.00." FML
Today, while at the restaurant I work at, a bunch of kids came in. They all gave incredibly complex orders, laughed at everything I did, and made a huge mess by "spilling" hot sauce and water all over the floor. After they left, I was tipped eleven cents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Can't blame you. I hate it when family/friends come in to "surprise" me. That's not happily surprising someone, that's rubbing their recreational freedom in your face and then leaving without you.

Stick a butcher knife in the side wall of his tire. You will feel better, and HE will have an FML moment.

Unless they are crazy, abusive SOB's, they probably told you the truth. How do you normally get tipped, especially compared to the other servers? Either figure out where you are deficient and fix it, or move on to something else. Prostitution sounds like a good job for you. You negotiate a fee for a service and perform the service, no tip involved (except his, of course, and getting the shaft is one of the services). If he stiffs you (in the "not paying" sense of the word), your pimp will take care of the collection. Hopefully, your parents won't surprise you at your new job. Any rating from them would be most unhelpful! Good luck at being a ho!

Sorry to disappoint, I am neither a ho, nor a pimp nor a john. I just saw on "Cops" that the going rate for a ******* is ten bucks. Damn, that's affordable.

Not getting a tip from your own parents isn't really a FML...

I love when family and friends come into my work. I get to see a friendly face at least.

You must be a really bad server to have gotten burned by your own parents. YDI
