Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, as a joke, my friend put my bus money in the vending machine. Not only did the machine not return my money, it wouldn't give me an item in return. FML

Today, I had to pay my bus fare in very small change. After carefully counting out coins under the withering glares of a bus-load of people, I quickly slid them into the machine, and somehow ended up jamming it. FML

Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML

Today, I had to skip lunch to work on a big project, so I stopped by a vending machine. The number I wanted was 126, but I accidentally typed 124, using my last dollar. 124 was the only empty row. FML

Today, after rushing to the bus stop and frantically boarding at the last possible second, I realized that I didn't pay my fare with a single, but a twenty. FML

Today, I withdrew €40 at the ATM to pay for dinner later tonight. It wasn't until I went to pay for it that I realized I'd taken the receipt, but left the cash in the ATM. FML

Today, I walked into a gas station and saw some $.25 gum. It looked good and I thought I had a quarter in my pocket. I found no change in my pocket once I got to the register, so I pulled out my credit card. The cashier laughed a few seconds later when my card was declined for a piece of gum. FML

Now make your FML someone else's FML by buying something of $20 and use your quarters to pay for it.

Actually it would be less than 20 dollars. He just used the vending machine.

HAHA SO TRUE #14:)

Aha! Not necessarily. If OP realized as the bill was going in, he would have pressed the coin return button right away, hoping to get the bill back.
margxoxo 0
But OP said change which means he/she bought something right?
Doortje 30
Then OP should buy something of $19 and pay with the quarters. Sheesh.

I don't think I've seen a vending machine that takes twenties but what do I know I live on a island

While many people around the world suffer from depression, sickness, hatred, disbelief, disabilities and other forms of tragedy, there's people like OP here who finds their life to be f***ed for getting their change back in quarters. Even if the machine ate your $20, it still wouldn't be an FML. If this level of set back is enough to convince you that your life is screwed, I can't imagine what you'd do in any of the above listed tragedies.... In any case, OP, you chose to toss in the big bucks without throughly checking the cash in your hand, and got what you deserved. YDI.

I think you're missing the point of the site.
sduhamel 0
it's all about the small things that happen in our daily life that makes us go FML! it's not a site where u compare starving childrens with ur prob.

Thank you, 19.

Before, the context was that an FML is entertaining, or at least partly funny in some form, even if their life isn't actually f***ed. This isn't even an incident worth mentioning.

You can turn this into a positive: 1) Buy something worth around $20 2) (I don't know how much a quater is worth) but give them $19.75 3) When the cashier counts it and finds that it's short, insist that it gets counted again. 4) Continue step 3 If they don't believe it's correct money after a while, take your change and walk out.
