Today, after having a few beers at a bar, I gave my ticket to the valet to get my car. I tipped the man $2 and he gave me a huge smile and thanked me a lot as I left. I thought the guy was just really appreciative for those $2 until I got home and saw one of the $100 bills in my wallet was gone. 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, a customer handed me a 100 dollar bill. He then told me that it was my tip for doing a good job. He snatched it away just as I touched it, laughed, and said, "Just kidding." He then took his money and left the store. FML

Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML

Today, I got a parking ticket. I put the ticket in my bag and accidentally left the bag in my friends car. When I returned, the car window was smashed, my bag was gone. I had to call the police department and ask them to send me a new ticket, on top of the $1000 or so I'd already lost. FML

Protip

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, I went to have a drink with my friend. On the way I withdrew 20 bucks and when I arrived at the bar I realised I had taken my credit card but not the banknote. FML

Drunken antics

Today, I put my paycheck in my wallet, intending to cash it in the next day. Later on, I met up with a friend and went to a party. I ended up getting so drunk, I gave away my $400 check in exchange for a pack of smokes, thinking it was a $5 bill. FML

Today, I was waitering at the restaurant that I work at when I collected a credit card bill that was worth $120 and a big zero on the tip line. Angered, I turned to a co-worker and said "I knew this asshole wasn't going to tip me." The guy was standing right behind me with $30 in his hand. FML

Today, I took a taxi ride with my friends. As we were getting out, I paid the taxi driver. With a grin, he drove away fast. It turns out my friend had already paid. FML

Why were you carrying $100 bills anyway?? Unless there's something specific I want or I'm gonna be away without access to an ATM for a while I never carry more than 100-150 anyway. That way, if you lose your wallet/you get robbed, you don't actually lose so much. Duh

valets get paid well under minimum wage, as it is a tipping job. $2 is so freaking cheap. And BTW, what the hell were you doing driving if you were drunk enough to give away 100

If you thought you gave him two dollars, wouldn't you have known you only gave him one bill?

You know, sometimes you can tell when an FML is fake or has been edited. Unless you planned on giving him a $2 bill, how could you not notice giving him only one bill?

1) you're admitting to being a drunk driver 2) you cant tell the difference between 2 smaller $1 bills and 1 larger $100 bill? WHY LIE?

$2 is NOT a reasonable tip, they don't get paid much and T.I.P.S. stands for To Insure Proper Service, that guy shoulda have put a nice dent in the side of that car. Stop being cheap asses and dicking people over when all they did was their job. If you don't want to tip correctly then park you're own damn car.
