Today, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by a drive-thru on the way to his place. I asked him to order a Coke for me, at which point he asked if I wanted to make it a Diet Coke. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at lunch I ordered a Coke. The waiter replied, "Diet Coke?" and I corrected him saying, "No, regular Coke." He shook his head and said again, "Diet Coke." FML
Today, my waiter turned to me and asked, "Let me guess, Miss I'm-not-fat-I'm-fluffy wants a Diet Coke?" FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were out to eat. The waiter came and asked what we wanted. My boyfriend said he wanted a cheeseburger and I told the waiter I'd have the same. My boyfriend looked at me and said, "Are you sure you don't want a salad?" FML
Today, while on a date, I accidentally ordered "diet water" instead of saying "diet coke". FML
Today, I went out to eat with a group of couples and my boyfriend. All my friends boyfriends paid for them. Mine didn't, and said that I should order off the diet menu. FML
Today, I went through a drive-thru and ordered a coffee. The cashier asked, “Hot or iced?” I panicked and said, “Yes.” We both just stared at each other until she said, “So… which one?” I wanted to drive away and never return. FML
Today, I ordered a Diet Coke with my meal from a fast food restaurant. Turns out, they didn't give me diet. My blood sugar spiked and I was sick for hours later. I'm a diabetic. FML
Today, I was lying on the couch with my boyfriend and was feeling tired, so I got a soda. I sat back down and surprised him with a passionate kiss. I also surprised him when I suddenly burped right into his mouth. FML
Today, I called my husband and asked him what he wanted from our favorite fast food place. A divorce. FML
Today, I was working the drive-thru at McDonalds, and as I handed out a Diet coke to the customer, the man started growling and yelled "HULK SMASH!" He smashed the cup with two fists and drove off. I was drenched in soda. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I doubt that there was any malicious intent, OP. And I'm sure that'd be confirmed if you asked the guy about it. Just don't dump him because of this like I'm so sure this website is going to tell you to.

May you please elaborate on how the hell this is a problem? I prefer the taste of diet to regular.

Agreed. To me I think OP's boyfriend was just asking a legitimate question. If she gets upset by him asking, imagine how much worse it would be if he brought her the wrong one...

I also prefer diet. Both for the taste and because 32 ounces of legit sugar water would kill my sensitive stomach. But the obvious insinuation is that her boyfriend is subtly calling her fat and telling her she needs to go on a diet. That's pretty rude by itself. But the wording OP used also sounds like she was only ordering a drink and skipping the food. So it's especially messed up if her boyfriend was implying, "I know you're already skipping a meal, but really you should be skipping EVERYTHING..."

Agreed. I've been asked many times to specify whether I want diet or regular, and I'm what people call "too skinny," so most people ask it without any malicious intent. I'm guessing though that OP has some big weight issues which her bf would probably be aware of, so either her bf made a small careless mistake (and OP should try not to take it personally), or her bf said it in a rude insinuative way (in which case, FHL).

Yeah I wasn't hungry and was just getting the drink

OP you are beautiful. Hope you talked to him about it. Even when I don't want food I just get diet drinks. I'm sure he didn't mean it in a mean way.

Maybe he's going to apply to said drive thru and wanted to practice how to offer the alternative when said drink is unavailable? idk.

I feel you're reading into this way too much.

You could instantly drop 180 or so pounds by ditching your boyfriend. That was really harsh of him to say that.

Lots of people I know drink diet pop, so it was probably his first instinct to ask if she wanted diet or regular. I highly doubt he had any other intent.

Like you should totally break up with someone because they asked if you wanted Diet Coke instead of regular Coke

Way to prove my point in record time, buddy.

99% of the time that I ask for a Coke I get 'diet?' as a reply. I do prefer full fat. But lots of people don't. Don't be offended, OP :)

There's no fat in coke...
guttedbrit 26
We just call it full fat.

Full Sugar imo, is worse than full fat.

I don't even see what the issue is? It's not like you ordered a burger and he suggested a salad... Sounds like he was making sure he got it right.

So ******* what?

Woopty frickin doo, he's not saying you're fat, he's just asking to make sure if you wanted to make it a diet coke instead.
