Today, I busted my ass to help this old lady move her stuff because she was going to a nursing home. I was told I would get paid. When I finished four hours later the lady took me to a room and told me to pick out anything in her little goody bag. I got a race car as payment. FML

And there was absolutely no way you could turn this story to attract girls?

I agree with #3. YDI for being a greedy **** who can't be bothered to help a poor old lady just for the sake of being nice.

ydi for doing it for money from a lady whos going to nursing home lol dont rly need much money there. but fyl that you thought you'd get payed. : /

Either have the brains to agree on payment beforehand or have the heart to do the job for free. Doing neither and then whining about the situation serves no purpose.

How awful it must be to have to do something nice for someone ..?

If she said he would get paid, then she should hold up her end of the deal. She may be old, but that does not excuse someone for not paying after agreeing earlier to do so. Still not a majorly huge FML, since the old lady (albeit a senile selfish one) did get helped out and probably has an overall situation far worse than the OP's. Four hours of work for no compensation does suck balls, but would you rather be the one going to the nursing home?

I can't say I agree that this is an FML because you just did something nice for someone...aw shucks, volunteering sucks, doesn't it?

Also, all the spelling fanatics out there correcting the OP for "payed" and not "paid" are ignorant motherfuckers. Try looking it up on dictionary.com: though "payed" is less used, it is also a correct spelling. Get your facts right before trying to wrongly correct someone. See entry below payed v. A past tense and a past participle of pay

Atfirst I thought you said I was told I was getting laid. LOL.well sell the little raccar for penny. Besides u got the pride of helping an old lady

I'd be really upset if that happened, but you really can't do anything about it.

You deserve it for expecting something in return. You helped an old woman move so she could go to a nursing home, and you expected payment? Shame on you.
