Today, while paying a $60 tab on drinks for a girl, a guy grabs the money-clip out of my hand and runs. I start to chase after him; the girl trips me, then runs after him. The bartender calls the cops; not to catch the thieves, but to report me for not paying. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was waitressing, two girls ran up a tab of $60 in drinks. They ended up not paying the bill and walking out. My boss told me it won't be the first time or last, as he made me pay their bill. FML
Today, my date mugged me, just minutes after I paid our bill at the restaurant. FML
Today, I went to the bar I go to every week. My favorite bartender told me I owed $50 for a tab because the waiter screwed up and undercharged me. The tab was from when my friends bought me drinks to cheer me up because my girlfriend moved away. I ended up paying for my own drinks, plus theirs. FML
Today, I decided to go to a club with my friends. I was flattered when an attractive guy started dancing with me. Later, I went to grab my money to pay for my dinner and realized while dancing, the very sneaky man pulled my forty dollars out of my pocket. FML
Today, I met a super gorgeous girl at the bar. We laughed together over drinks and it was all perfect, until she told me she wasn’t from this town. We hugged goodbye and she left. When I went to pay our tab, I realized I’d been pickpocketed by her. FML
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML
Today, I went to the store, but after I'd selected my items, I saw that I'd forgotten my wallet. When I tried to explain to the cashier, he thought that I was trying to steal and called the cops. My roommate had to come to the store to save me. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out to a nice restaurant for our anniversary. Mid-way through the meal, a guy at the table across left for the restroom. My girlfriend reached over and swiped the guy's wallet from the table. My gonads went AWOL, and I couldn't even bring myself to call her out on it. FML
Today, I went to a club with my friends. I noticed the bouncer looked at me strangely. Then he erupts and screams, "you're the bitch who caused havoc and £255 damage to the cloakroom, pay up or I'll call the fuzz!" Little did I know my 15-year-old sister stole my ID last weekend. FML
Today, I went to a club with some friends. I ordered two drinks from the waitress and gave her a fifty. She never returned with the change, and the rest of the staff claimed they didn't know who I was talking about. FML

$60 on drinks?!

Moral of the story. Stay home and get drunk by yourself. What you pay for in loneliness you save in cash and snatch n grab.

#14, when you're a woman named Alexman, you probably have to get girls pretty liquored up to become attracted to your indeterminate gender self. The good news about being androgynous is that you can use either rest room without hassle, but the bad news is that you need to spend more to intoxicate potential sex partners.

Guess she didn't want the girl to remember any of it :)

$60 is cheap in Australia.

Where I live, paying €2 for a pint of beer is considered a rip-off. Other drinks are rather cheap here too. I have to admit that when I wrote that comment I didn't really think about how expensive drinks can be in other parts of the world.

I'm pretty sure everybody's checking now where 32 lives.

Moral of the story, don't wave around large wads of cash. Take out just what you need and quickly put the rest back.

I know. When I was there I paid $10 for a tiny glass of rum and coke and actually asked the bartender if she was joking. She wasn't. Also sucked that there wasn't any spiced rum there :/

Or have a card.

Hope you had a nice trip this fall!

You spent 60 bucks on a girl you didn't know? You, sir, are an easy target.

I think it might be a ma'am. At least that's what the little symbol on my phone tells me.

Drinks are freakin expensive and I'm guessing OP drank with her. $30 on drinks each is not hard for a night.

It's a trap! The guy who stole your money was on to it; the girl you thought you'll have a one night stand with was also on to it; the bartender was part of 'it' as well. They're on to you OP. You should carry a lightsaber from now on.

thank you for stating the obvious. It's not like the FML implied it or anything...
Voij 16
22, true, that lightsaber part did not need mentioning.
EngageZoo5 8
Yes it did. He could've just said "I don't need to pay these drinks". The force comes with the light saber.

22-You're welcome. Always here to help. ^.^

The whole situation is messed up. I'd be pretty mad if I were you

OP didn't exactly sound happy

Karma will get them.. If it wasn't you that it got..

The bartender probably didn't know what happened other then you didn't pay your tab. For all she knows, you could have been part of that same scheme.

#28, how do you know the bartender is a she?
Enslaved 38
Just living vicarious through "her". :P I am however a tad bit confused about the OP being a female with the name Alexman.
perdix 31
#40, me, too. Above, I hypothesized that the OP was a Pat-like creature, but then some girl mentioned cheap beer in Belgium and a mass exodus ensued.

It's not all bad, OP. There are still the "Russian Brides, hot for you." They can ease your pain...
