Today, my friends and I went out to dinner. Being short on cash, I suggested a game where we put our phones in the center of the table and first to check their phone had to pay the bill. Our conversation died out, and fearful of having an awkward silence, I checked my phone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at a diner with friends when we decided to put our phones in the middle of the table on the basis that whoever looks at theirs first has to pay. It was going well, until someone rushed up behind me, slammed my face into the table and ran out with our 4 phones. FML
Today, I went out with a friend to grab some food and we were served by this really cute and fun waiter. Stepping out of my comfort zone and deciding to do something crazy, I left my phone number on the bill. I got home only to realize that I forgot to pay the bill. 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, I was on a dinner date with a guy I really like. I guess I was on my phone too much because halfway through the date he sent me a text saying how much my half of the bill would be. FML
Today, I went to dinner to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I received a text message, so I pulled out my phone to check. Apparently, his parents have a "No phones at the table rule" and took my phone away until I could learn "proper table manners." 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, 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 took a friend out for what I thought was date. After dinner was over and I paid, she pulled the bill out and wrote her name phone number on it for the waiter. FML
Today, my girlfriend chose the most expensive restaurant in town, then spent the entire time facebooking, texting, and playing games on her phone while I dined in silence. This is the second time we've been out this week. She didn't even eat her food. I didn't even get a thank you. FML
Today, I did a "dine and dash" and left my phone in the restaurant. The owner answered my phone call. FML

Creative, yet not helpful.

How unfortunate! Hopefully it's a lesson learned. I mean, you knew you were short on cash. Why be risky?

Instead of submitting to an awkward silence, jump up, yell at one of your friends, and backhand him across the face. Instant entertainment!

Because that's not awkward at all!

I don't think that person would be OPs friend anymore after that.

I'm taking that idea and leaving my phone at home.

But you'd have to leave it in the center of the table though...
ebonyirony 29
ah well. turning it off works. or maybe I'd take my roommates phone. it's rude to look at others messages, after all.

obviously I'm not serious >

Situational irony at its best, I suppose.

Awkward silence > people bashing away at their phone.

Just play it off Op be like "oh no my mom is in the hospital I have to go" and just leave. There you go paying the bill avoided.

Why would you even say that your mother is in the hospital? That's terrible.
teague95 16
probably the same reason, OP went to dinner knowing full well he didn't have money to pay and probably intended on getting someone else to pay for him

Alright #52 if you're so offended just use a different family member or friend. There now we're both happy.

94- All I'm saying is that it seems really ****** up to say something happened to someone and that they're in the hospital when it's not true.

I haven't....

Yeah. That's just simple planning ahead and foresight.

Well wouldn't an awkward silence be a perfect time for everyone else to pick up their phone? You couldn't just wait a teensy minute longer.....
