Today, I went to a fast-food joint and ordered off the $1.00 menu to save money. Five hours later I go to the hospital with food-poisoning. After a whole day of not eating, crapping, puking, having tests, and a bunch of IV fluids, my $1.00 burger ended up costing me $2,000 in bills. Really. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went out to eat to celebrate getting over the stomach flu. I hadn't eaten solid food in over a week, so I was really excited and ordered my favorite dish. It gave me food poisoning. FML
Today, I had a stomach bug, but despite it I swallowed a mouthful of habanero sauce on a dare. I ended up projectile vomiting on a wall outside, lost my sense of balance and fell over on the sidewalk, almost blacked out from the tightness in my chest, and had to refuse an ambulance that somebody had called. All for $5. FML
Today, I wrecked my car on the way to work, all because I could get free food from a restaurant for my team winning a game. My husband suggested it. Now I’m without a car, with massive hospital bills, all for the most expensive fast food. FML
Today, I went to the Cheesecake Factory and treated myself to an appetizer, an entree, a dessert, and some cocktails. The bill was higher than I expected and I was $50 short. I faked having a food allergy and had the staff call 911 so they could take me to the hospital, so I would get out of paying. It worked. FML
Today, after months of avoiding fast food, I decided to eat some McDonald's french fries. Though the fries were delicious, they were not worth the agonizing 15 minutes I spent on the toilet afterwards. FML
Today, after struggling with anorexia for months, I got food poisoning. FML
Today, I had horrible pains in my stomach area so I went to the doctors. They couldn't find anything wrong and sent me to the Emergency Room for X-rays. After spending the entire day in the hospital, they tell me I'm slightly constipated. I had to pay $400 to find out I had to take a shit. FML
Today, I didn't feel like cooking when I got home from work, so I decided to go to the local restaurant nearby and do my part in supporting small businesses. Long story short, I woke up later feeling like absolute shit. Hello, food poisoning. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend out to dinner to an expensive restaurant. He overate, and now I have to nurse him through food poisoning. FML
Today, I was fired from the restaurant I work at because I missed my shift. I missed it because I was in the hospital for food poisoning from the meal I ate at work last night. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

... I can already hear the "You deserve it for eating fast food." Well, you don't. You're allowed to have a cheeseburger every once in a while if you feel like it.

Wow really everyone still replies to 1 so people can see there comment. Ok well I am actually commenting on number 1 and saying that it probably was McDonald's because they are disgusting and do not clean there building and if you eat there you deserve to get food poisoning. Also this is fake because the place that gave you the food poisoning would pay for your medical bill if it was there fault.

pfft sure, but you also pay $20 to do to dennys to pay for that healthcare system. not so free when going out to eat costs more then twice what it does in places where you pay your own health care bills

It would cost you less to buy groceries and cook decent food than to eat that crap. YDI for thinking "saving money" is justification for eating a cheeseburger. Which is not to say "don't eat cheeseburgers". I love cheeseburgers, but I'm old enough to admit that I eat them because I want to, not because I'm pov.

Screw you. Why can't people eat cheeseburgers and save money at the same time if they want to?

Let's break this down. Meat is expensive. Hamburger buns are expensive. Lots of people actually can't afford these things. Sometimes, when you're poor, it's the only affordable way to get a little protein. Until the only thing you can afford is a 17 cent pack of ramen, you probably wouldn't understand.

Just BEING there can cost someone $5000 a night. And by the way, it was $24,000, not $2400.

I suppose you said to yourself, "I won't get sick, I'll just save the money on health insurance too..." Good job.
