Today, my boyfriend and I arrived at our pre-paid hotel for a romantic evening. When we went to sign in, they had no reservation for us, however they did yesterday. The payment is non-refundable. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, and for the past few weeks, I've been dating a new guy. Things were going well, we had planned a romantic weekend getaway, but when we got to the hotel, we found out that our reservation had been cancelled. The hotel was fully booked, and we had to spend the night in separate rooms at a sketchy motel. FML
Today, I'd booked a table at a restaurant for my parents’ anniversary but when we arrived, the staff couldn’t find the reservation. I checked my confirmation email and realized I’d booked it for the following evening. We did find a less classy restaurant nearby, but can't get my deposit back from the other place. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to get any time off work to go to Mexico with him, and that we'd have to get our tickets refunded, and reschedule. He said not to bother, and that he already had someone else in mind to take with him. FML
Today, my fiancé forgot his wallet. He realized this once we were 5 hours away from home, before checking into a hotel, that had reservations under his name. FML
Today, I received a coupon for a special offer including flights and accommodation for the honeymoon destination that my fiancé and I are keen on. Yesterday, I paid the full price for the flight tickets and hotel deposit for the honeymoon. FML
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, my boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner date. Our waitress was really sweet, so we talked about leaving her a big tip. When we got home, we discovered we both thought the other person had left it. FML
Today, my date mugged me, just minutes after I paid our bill at the restaurant. FML
Today, my husband told me to look for a honeymoon resort, since we had to cancel it last year. I looked everything up and got all excited. Just when I asked him for payment information, he said "April Fools!" April Fools was two days ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's the hotel's fault considering the couple pre-paid for their room.
CyborgBanana 12
Actually, maybe I'm wrong. The couple could've been too late to check-in so they lost their reservation. In that case the OP deserves it, the wording of this FML doesn't make it clear; for me anyway.

Not if the couple made the reservation for the wrong day...

I was wondering the same thing...

I would want to say that it's the couples fault. But not enough information was given. If you pre-pay for something, does it not usually tell you the day(s) of service on the receipt? I could be wrong, but that's what I did when I pre-paid for a motel whilst at Canada

I don't see how the couples would have any fault in this. They reserved a hotel room, they arrived, said room was taken when it shouldn't have, and the couples got ripped off their money.

Could be the hotel's fault. I once set up an appointment for 2:30. The receptionist even wrote down 2:30 on the appointment reminder card, but put 2:00 in the system. So I was late for the appointment.

35 oh my bad, I guess I read the FML wrong.

No it's not, you're an idiot.

What a shame... Good money wasted on a room you didn't get to use! Poor OP :(
rocketiquette 20
No that's when you sit there and you demand to speak to someone in charge and get your money back if it was the hotels **** up.

YDI if you need help with time management call my dad. Father time

Pretty sure OP isn't up to waste more money on a call. I wouldn't at least, since people are supposed to learn from mistakes like this one.

#3 ...I was going to say something about your comment...but this is a time when it's not worth it..

How do they have your money if they have no reservation, and how can they possibly get away with that?
BulldogHoops 14
Ugh. I misread the FML, please disregard my stupidity. I think this will only be my third time getting buried. :(

Relax you made a simple mistake, it's all good.

I'll thumb you up so you're down to -13 at least, if if helps any.

Anyone can mix dates up, I'm sorry it happened to you though :3
False_Stupidity 42
Yeah, I remember once when I got my dates mixed, I ended up taking the wrong girl home...

Bet that killed the mood

Just go to a small, fancy and cheap bed and breakfast. Most of the time it's as romantic as a hotel.

Fancy AND cheap...piece of cake

If it was your mistake and you had your dates mixed up-shouldn't they have tried to call you to find out if you were keeping your reservation? It just seems to me that they would do that. If it was their mistake, they should be fixing it, or at least not keeping your money.

Why? People rarely need to be reminded of their hotel reservation. Besides you usually don't give your phone number when you book a hotel room. If you book a room and don't show you have to pay. Plain and simple. Even of it wasn't nonref.

I once made the same mistake as OP, but then the hotel called me because they had noticed the mistake and simply changed the date so we had a room for the next day. I think every hotel should do that, you don't mistreat a paying customer.
xNephilim 19
Maybe the customer shouldn't be an idiot then... I missed a flight two years ago and guess what, I had to pay extra to get it changed to the next day. Why? Because I made a dumb mistake and those were the consequences. If you can't keep your dates for flights or hotels straight, then you better be prepared to pay for it.

Not the hotel's responsibility to call, assuming they even have the guest's phone number.
LolFMLnot 10
Well, you can always call their administration and let them know your situation. Perhaps they will give you your money back, or at least give you another room.

I bet you that lonely chick from an FML a while ago paid extra for the room you guys expected. Join her, she has no friends.
