Today, while I was delivering pizza in the torrential downpour, I waited 5 minutes in the pouring rain for an old lady to dig 20 bucks out of her purse. Her total was $19.99. She told me to keep the change and make lots of money. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was delivering pizza in the rain. A woman answered the door, saw me soaking wet and said, "Wow this rain is terrible, it must be horrible to be out delivering in it." She then tipped me 21 cents. FML
Today, it started pouring while I was in the middle of a pizza delivery. I had to stand out in the rain for ten minutes while an old redneck dude wearing nothing but camo boxers fumbled around for the exact change to pay the bill. I think seeing his junk was supposed to count as my tip. FML
Today, I got a $20 tip from an old lady I delivered pizza to. Ecstatic, I walked back to my car where there was a $30 parking fine waiting for me. FML
Today, while delivering pizzas, someone ordered $19.41 in pizza and wings. After finally finding her appartment, she paid me in two sandwich bags full of pennies and nickels. I had to count them out before giving her the pizza. We aren't allowed to enter the residence, and it was 22 degrees. FML
Today, I was working as a Valet driver. After getting no customers for 5 hours in the pouring rain, a woman driving by stops and asks me for directions. Before leaving, she said, "I should probably tip you for that, since that's probably the only money you'd get all night." She didn't. FML
Today, a lady handed me a $10 tip on a $45 bill. I was happy with it, since it was more than 20%, until she came back in and said, "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong amount." I handed it back to her and then she gave me a dollar. FML
Today, I was doing takeout orders at the restaurant I work at. I spent a long while putting together this guy's $135.00 order. When he finally got there to pick it up, I told him to fill out the credit card slip. I looked at it after he left. He gave me a 40 cent tip. FML
Today, I was cashiering, and a customer's change came to $5.51. She looked pretty stinking rich, so I just gave her $5.50. She demanded the extra penny, and I asked if she really needed it. She said, "No, but they do, asshole," and dropped her $5.51 in the charity donation box. FML
Today, while delivering pizza I was yet again given $0.04 over the total bill and told condescendingly to "keep the change." This happens on every shift. My pay is reduced during deliveries, and I drive my own car, and use my own gas. For $0.04. FML
Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Can't blame the old bag. Back in her day, you could buy a soda pop with a penny!

Had she done that to me, I would have refused to give her the pizza cause she was a penny short (since she took so ******* long to dig it out, and making me wait in the pouring rain). It is $20, not $19.99. She needs to have her exact amount ready before the time the pizza is delivered. She is a Stupid, thoughtless, cheap, unorganized twat

I think, the total cost was $19.99 an he waited for her to dig out $20, and then she told him to keep the change, which was one penny. It wasn't her paying $19.99 for $20 pizza. But other than that, spot on.

be thankful she gave you a penny she didnt have to give you anything

She didnt give him a penny. She was actually a penny short of the cost of the pizza. So, op paid the remaining .01 of the total cost most likely.

I'm also a delivery driver. an I absolutely hate it when people say that and it's barely anything!! Try delivering 38 pizzas alone to a school. Then they complain about not having napkins so you have to go back because your manager promised them napkins. and On top of the Texas heat.. No tip(:

I totally agree. they don't understand that this is how we make our money. tips and minimum wage.

You can't blame her. I mean she is old fragile, and she might need that penny more than you.

I still have to ask how much a cent could benefit an old lady. I mean, if you added up lots of cent, yeah, but one solitary penny...? Wait, this is an American FML, why are you talking about pennies? Pennies are British tender...
