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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

why are all your comment longer then a novel?

23, why can't I understand any of your comments?
Egnar 19
So don't read it, that's fine - The fact that people do generally give me positive feedback, and, that my last post warranted 40 thumbs up and a decent conversation says that you're in the minority. Frankly, I don't care if all my stuff is thumbed down, I just enjoy the conversations I get out of the few intelligent people who choose to.
KatrinaKitten 16
I like your comments. :)

#23, why is your comment so badly written? If you don't like to read long, well constructed comments, by all means, don't trouble yourself with reading them.
JennaMarie420 2
who cares? seriously I read this stuff for entertainment. Not so I can evaluate every persons post and try to tell them what to do. Does anyone come to this site for advice?
Egnar 19
@42 I do appreciate that, thanks! Just trying to bring some sanity to this place. @43 Plenty of people care - I've gotten private messages from people due to my comments and struck up some pretty cool and intelligent conversations. And those who read but don't message me I end up having a decent conversation [about the FML] in the comments. If you don't want to read it, that's cool with me - But some of us do come here to interact with other users.

43- Noone should take advice from people online. Ever.
KatrinaKitten 16
I agree. It makes FML so much better when people offer some coherent AND thoughtful opinions.
gemzroxya 0
i agree with 46, online advice, really?
Egnar 19
I don't expect the original poster to come in and say "oh man Egnar has a great idea I should totally do this." But it's interesting to see perspective that may give ideas on other peoples similar situations - Not everybody on the internet is a troll thinking it's funny to blurt out "FIRST" or "OH YOU'RE AN IDIOT".
KatrinaKitten 16
50, you obviously don't understand his comment! He's not trying to give advice. He's just expressing his opinion, just like you and me. Honestly, you need to settle and get off everyone's comments when your opinion is neither relevant nor intelligible.

57- I would go all troll bitchy on your ass but you're just too damn cute :/

59, get a life? your comments are not rellivant or intelligent either.

61- All of your comments get modded so apparently I'm not the only one with the unintelligent comments. Finish it!

woops not you, wrong number. im talking to the girl who finds every single one of my comments and picks fights on them. im ending this bye.
KatrinaKitten 16
59, Youu admitted that your comment was irrelevant, and at the same time, you spelled relevant incorrectly. Don't tell people to shut up online, just be mature about it. 61, thanks for the compliment.

maybe there really low on money and he didnt want to spend the rent money on junk food and dumb rides?
biwinning88 1
I was thinking the same thing! if my significant other bitches the entire time about money at some point I would just leave the fair. yes times are hard for most people and moneys tight but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go do something fun and just enjoy each others company. what would be the point of going out if you won't just have fun.... people like that drive me crazy, if its that big of a deal to spend money THEN DON'T GO cause all you will do is bring down the people you are with.

haha there is always at least one person who writes a really long comment lol :D

Your man just didn't want you spending the money on more shit rides.
KatrinaKitten 16
Obviously?

^ uncalled for.
KatrinaKitten 16
I'm sorry? No need to get offended over a one-word comment. I'm out..
gemzroxya 0
who said i'm offended?
KatrinaKitten 16
You implied that you were. The way you type completely bothers me. Most likely you are a prepubescent thirteen year old girl, so I won't even concern myself with you.
gemzroxya 0
The way I type is perfectly normal thank-you? Im not 13 at all, you shoulden't go around judging, accusing and assuming things about people you do not know.

Katrina, you said above "I personally am bothered by complainers" (don't get me started on the redundancy of that statement), yet you instantly jump on gemzroxya and complain about her typing style. Hypocrisy pisses me off.
KatrinaKitten 16
Um, okay...? I can see why you have haters now.

that's what he gets for complaining, maybe he will learn to start having fun and living in the moment regardless if it costs him money or not !
