Today, I went to Waffle House to talk to the manager about getting a job. My boyfriend now wants to beat up the manager for giving me his number so that I can call him whenever I'm done filling in the application. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant so I could apply for a job, and we decided to eat there. After we finished, I went to start the car. When we got home, I asked him how much the bill came to. Apparently he didn't pay. I had already given them my completed application. FML
Today, I submitted my application to a restaurant as a server. The manager, who is more than 30 years older than me, said he'd be calling me. He later texted me asking for a date instead of giving me a job. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out to eat at a diner where my friend works. My friend was our waiter but too busy to talk much. He texted me after we'd left to tell me that my girlfriend had slipped him her number. FML
Today, my obsessive ex, who recently cut my phone line to stop me from talking to my boyfriend of three years, got a job at the same restaurant where both my boyfriend and I work. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. When it came time for us to leave, I saw him write something on the receipt for our waitress. I managed to get a quick look; it was his number. FML
Today, I got a phone call from a number I didn't recognize. It was a man with a speech impediment, and I began imitating him. He was the manager of a store I applied at. He wanted to arrange an interview. FML
Today, we are severely understaffed, and I'm very often the only person working my shift. There's a yuppie who comes in and complains when we have to pause service due to shift change. He does this every day, and I'd had enough, so I slid him an application ,and told him to fill it out, wait, or leave. I got written up. FML
Today, while working as a waitress, an attractive woman sat at one of my tables. When she paid, I decided to be bold and write my number and "Call me" on her receipt. She put in a complaint to my manager. FML
Today, I went for a job interview. I'd resigned at my current job and applied for somewhere closer to home. They hired me on the spot, and as I was leaving, I saw my abusive ex-boyfriend working in the store. So… now I'm working alongside my ex who abused me for two years. Time to apply elsewhere. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. They informed me they were lawyers throughout the meal, which explained the gorgeous house. My boyfriend excitedly told them I was promoted manager at my job. They asked where I work. I work at Burger King. FML

Any man that chooses violence as the answer needs to be replaced.

Maybe your boyfriend is more of a pancake guy.

If you want to stick with this boyfriend, waitressing is not a career option for you. Especially if you work at the restaurant version of Wal-Mart, you are going to have to flirt pretty powerfully to make enough tip money to make the endeavor worthwhile.

Every waffle house I've been to, the cooks have 8 teeth in their skulls combined and band aids on their fingers. If that doesn't sound like you, try ihop!

Ha! You and your choice of a boyfriend will fit in perfectly at Waffle House.

I hope you dump the boyfriend and get the job, but promise me one thing: Please don't write a song called the "Waffle House Blues" -- it will make lots of us throw up.

Your bf is onto something maybe. If the manager gave you his cell number, he's likely hitting on you. Usually you would just come back and turn the application in. No need to call unless he has something special planned for you *wink*.

I had the same thing happen to me about 2 years ago, except the guy I was dating back then was convinced that I blew the manager or something of the sort to get that. Be thankful yours doesn't think you're a floosy lol
