Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

First day
Today, after I'd told everyone I would finally be starting meal prepping to save money, on the very first day, I forgot every container in my fridge, so I still had to buy my lunch during my lunch break. FML

Today, I accidentally overslept and missed a morning breakfast at work, one I never get to have when it happens. Not only did my boss say nothing about me being absent, he even asked me if the food was good. 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

Wealth gap
Today, a coworker threw my lunch in the trash. They'd just got back from holidays, and I use the same containers they do. My leftovers "looked like something they'd eat", so they thought it was something they'd forgotten before going on holidays. It was leftovers that I'd been spacing out, trying to make last till payday. FML

Today, after calling my bank to see where my paycheck was, and waiting on hold for my entire lunch break, my boss told me she forgot to submit my deposit. I was relying on that money to pay for lunch today as I used all I had for bills. Looks like I eat tomorrow. FML

Today, while working at a chain restaurant, I forgot to charge someone a few dollars for extra toppings on the side. My stingy boss took the time to take that money out of my paycheck. FML

Today, we got our Christmas bonuses. Instead of money, the company decided to give us all lunch boxes with the company name on them. I went ahead and put my lunch in mine, then put it in the break-room refrigerator. Apparently so did all the other employees. Now I can't find mine. FML

Well played
Today, during lunch, my coworker offered me her food, claiming she was full. I was still quite hungry, so I accepted it. Halfway through eating the sandwiches, my boss walked in and started interrogating people over who took his lunch. I quickly realized I was the one eating it. FML

Today, I forgot to bring my lunch to work. I got so hungry, I resorted to eating antacid tablets from the medicine cabinet for lunch. FML

Today, I realized the person I had been habitually stealing bag lunches from at work made me a canned dog food sandwich. FML

She said "Was it the big salad, with tomatoes like volleyballs?" I'm assuming she meant it was a big salad, but, with tomatoes like volleyballs. One can never be sure though......

Don't whine about it. You did a nice thing. Just feel good about yourself and settle for a different meal.

They have no other meal to settle for...

You didn't check to see if everything was there before you went back to your workplace? .. Not very smart op
camsterjoe 12
Yeah, cause if you've got meals for every single person in your work place, lets say 20 people, you going to check each and every one?
Stalkerloo 11
Checking them all may be too much, but what about counting them all?
aaronh212 6
That's along the lines of what I was thinking 31.

Or hopefully they went back to the restaurant to pick up their meal...
happle 21
Or complain and get better customer service.

Hopefully one of your coworkers returned the favor of kindness and shared with you?

If they all pitch in, they could have a mini buffet feast!

Are you sure you remembered your order? I've wrote down orders before and not mine, when it came time to order I read directly off the list. That sucks op.

That just makes you seem all the more generous! The level of brownie points you are earning is over 9000.

Apparently OP's did... The punishment was an empty stomach

Check your receipt and make sure the restaurant didn't charge you for yours, at least. I suggest next time you use Grubhub; you can order online, and if anything goes wrong with your order the kind folks at Grubhub will usually hook you up, either by comping your meal or giving you a credit. Plus, they have yummy rummy! **I am not a paid spokesperson for Grubhub (though I will gladly accept delicious free food)!

Depends on the town OP lives in, and whivh place they hot the foog from. Mind you, I also like GrubHub, but my selection of restaurants is limited.
