Go broke, go woke

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I went on a date with my new boyfriend. When the check came, he asked, "Do you accept food stamps?" When the waiter said no, he checked in his wallet and said, "Well all I have is five dollars." I ended up picking up the $20 tab. FML

Oh shit, you payed for a tab, and an expensive one at that! This begs for a chivalry/equality debate, no?

I don't think ANY restaurant takes food stamps...if they did, the boys and I would be able to eat like kings more often!~

well it seems like he was tryin to be funny. but all he had was $5 more then likely he knew what he was doing. dump him and find a better class of guy..

You and the woman from the FML who said her date was sexist for not letting her pay the tab should have a talk. Maybe you could both learn something from each other.

Time to get a new bf! I had one just the same.. and he never changed! It's so unattractive!

stop depending on the men to always pay =.= it should be even sometimes you pay sometimes he pays... but I do agree if it was a really special date he invited you on then yes maybe he should have paid... but theres nothing wrong with you paying sometimes. >~>.

20$ is cheap! but the fact that the man didn't pay said enough.. remember guys: never let your date/gf pay the tab!!!

if he doesn't have $20, I hope you are bright enough to leave him alone. that's embarrassing and completely ridiculous.

he didnt pay for it, and you think 20 is a large tab. fyl, but ydi

well at least he was sweet enough to take you on a date! and not everyone has money these days ya know.
