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

#38- Deli Meat alone would cost you 5 and bread is normally around 3 where I live. You can buy same quality food as McDonalds has where I live, actual food though will cost you more.

I bet it was Taco Bell. Hubby had something similar happen to him. I hope you feel better.

That sucks. Move somewhere with good health care. I spent a week in hospital last year and I didn't pay a thing.

So, you went and got a burger today, and five hours later you went to the hospital. And 36 hours later you got a $24,000 bill? Bought burger today...5...36...tomorrow...in the future...BS!

#43, If it is cheaper to go out to McDonald's than to buy food from the store and make it yourself, then why don't your parents take you out to McDonald's for every meal? They don't cause they like saving money and it's cheaper to have a home cooked meal than to go out. Even if we use your prices, you spend 8 bucks and you have at the very least 3 meals (you would still have excess bread after this too). People normally buy at least 3 things off the dollar menu for a meal, costing you $9 for three meals. This is all using conservative estimates as well. BTW, your 15 ******* years old. your parents probably buy all your shit for you. Wait till you gotta pay your way through school, are working shit jobs, and actually create your own budget.
