Today, my husband and I went to the state fair. The entire time, he complained about all the money we were losing because of the high prices of both rides and food. Towards the end of the night, we counted the cash we had left and found we were $50 short. Apparently, it fell out of his pocket. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a carnival. While walking around with my cousin, I saw a one hundred dollar bill on the ground. Just before I stepped on it, a man grabbed it. His words? "Don't you just hate it when that happens?" And he walked away. FML
Today, we went to an amusement park, or tried to. My idiot husband stuck his hand under his shirt like a gun and demanded free passes and "all the cash" as a joke. He's banned for life, they escorted us off the premises, and my children are inconsolable. FML
Today, some friends and I went to IHOP. We joked about not having enough money, and as it turns out we were $5 short. We put down what we had and left. Upon getting to the car, I realized I'd forgotten my phone, and had to go back. I made eye contact with our waitress, our money in her hand. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML
Today, I went out to eat with my friends. When the bill came, all three of them had "inconveniently" forgot their wallets at home. I ended up having to pay. It was a $178 check. FML
Today, my husband got paid. I checked our bank account and was shocked to see we'd only received $300. I called him, insisting that there was some mistake. He said he'd started a new bank account in his name so he could manage our money on his own, and the $300 was my "allowance". I now want a divorce. FML
Today, I went out to eat with a friend. I was supposed to be paying, but when I tried to, there wasn't enough money in my bank account. She didn't have money with her either. FML
Today, I went to buy some frozen yogurt. I filled up a cup and the cashier rung it up. The total price was $6.92. I only had $5 in my wallet. So I gave her the $5 bill and went to my car to get more money. Little did I know, there was no money in my car. So I drove off. Leaving the $5 behind. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML
Today, I realized I'd lost my wallet when paying for groceries. I had to put all the items back and leave the store feeling so embarrassed in front of everyone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

can't let things slip out of your pocket... That's how I lost my virginity

Your husband sounds like the kind of person who doesn't know how to let things go and just have fun - I mean, maybe this situation doesn't transpond past this one night but if you're posting it on FML I'm willing to bet you're a bit fed up with him and his overly cheap ways. It's one thing thing to be frugal, I consider myself to be, but it's a complete other thing to be cheap to the point where when going out for a nice time with your significant other you can't look past the expenses [unless they're completely outrageous and out of the norm, though at a Carnival/Faire you kind of expect it to begin with] and let loose. I'm not saying divorce the guy - That's stupid and I'm sure at least a few dozen people are going to give you that suggestion WITHOUT any insight, but, it's worth sitting him down and letting him know that money isn't as important as the time you spend with him.

Were you with him the whole time? If not the ydi if you were then fyl
KatrinaKitten 16
How would she notice if his money fell out of his pocket? Just because you are with someone doesn't mean you're watching their every move!
KatrinaKitten 16
She's his wife. She doesn't need to be a stalker?

i dont think it really matters if OP was there or not.
slantyshanty 7
agreed, OP's message was a bit unclear, but you can't be watching someone's butt for hours at a time.

I meant that if she was with him she would see him spend it, if she was not then she would be clueless and he could be lying to her, is that simpler?

whats the point of going to a fair if your going to follow your husband around?
Riddles66 0
Spending time with your family is not aloud at fairs then?
Boredumm 6
i never said they can't, im saying each person has their own interest and and not all people in the family like to do the same thing.
Boredumm 6
btw i dont get how following someone is spending time with them.
Riddles66 0
I never said that. I'm saying if she was with him she could see if he really did spend that much money. If he didn't then, he lost it. I don't see why people dint understand what i'm trying to say

seekndestroy 3
oops, understandably*
KatrinaKitten 16
Sorry, I meant the husband. I should have been much more clearer:)

Thats what i figured. I hate how overpriced the fair is, but OPs husband could have at least shut his yap so they could try to have some fun Oh well, some people just enjoy complaining.
KatrinaKitten 16
I personally am bothered by complainers I can't stand any form of negative energy because it brings me down and ruins my day. But, I do get tired of preppy, annoying, happy people at the same time. I guess the only type of people I get are the ones who know when to shut up. I can't stand ignorance. Ohhhh-kay, time to stop rambling. Heh.

How about a wallet, or is that too expensive too.
benzel22 2
YDI. He definitely didn't lose that $50, he pocketed it so you wouldn't keep spending all of his hard earned money on junk food and shills. Maybe you should bring your own cash next time you want to waste it and you'll know why he was complaining...
