Today, I did a "dine and dash" and left my phone in the restaurant. The owner answered my phone call. FML

Today, my mom and I went out to a fancy and expensive restaurant per her request; she told me it was her treat. After we ate our meals and the large check came, she excused herself to the bathroom. She didn't come back. I was dine-and-dashed by my own mother. FML

Today, my friend and I went to a really expensive restaurant. We got really bad service, so halfway through the meal we decided to dine-and-dash. Turns out I left my purse in the restaurant. With my I.D. and everything inside. FML

Today, our family went out to a restaurant at night. My cousin and I needed to go to the restroom, so we told everyone before going. Less than three minutes later, we came out to find them gone, along with the cars. They forgot about their own kids. FML

Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML

Today, while at a restaurant, I watched in horror as my daughter picked a hair out of her food and continued eating it. FML

Today, I got a chance to have dinner and a movie with a girl I've liked for a while. I ran late, so in a hurry to make the movie, and trying to be smooth for her, I told the waiter I'd "take care of him" if he made it fast. He did. When he brought the check, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. FML

Today, while visiting family, we went to a restaurant to eat. Towards the end of the meal, I went to use the restroom. When I came back, everyone was gone. Everyone had actually gotten into their cars and left without me. I have no idea where I am and no one is answering their phone. FML

Maybe they took her as payment. She'd probably be better off than with you.

Okay, I've heard about people forgetting their wallets, or cell phones, or I don't know what else. But you reach a whole new level of wrongness.

As a waitress all I can say is **** you. With a rake. Being a waitress is hard enough without assholes like you thinking you can get away with shit like this. I hope your daughter is ashamed to call you her parent.

Here is your parent of the year award. No but really, you are a horrible example to your kid. I hope you either grow the **** up and actually teach your child properly or get her taken away from you.

I guess I should thank you.... For making me realize what a wonderful childhood I had compared to the shitty childhood your poor daughter is having because of you. I really hope she doesn't grow up as ****** in the head as you....

So you dined and dashed while leaving your daughter inside the restaurant, and felt the need to go online to FML to tell everyone about it? The only thing missing is the "Sent from my iPhone" tagline.

You dined and dashed with a 7 year old!? You do realize that as her parent, you are her role model, right?

You suck. That is horrible. Grow up and pay for your food like everyone else. If you can't afford to go out to eat, just don't. Idiot.

If you can't afford to pay, then don't go to such restaurants! What kind of examples are you setting for your daughter?

Today, I'm so tired from constantly soothing my crying 2 month-old baby that I've started trying to soothe inanimate objects with baby talk whenever they make a noise. My fridge started beeping and I began an involuntary chorus of, "It's OK darling, shhhhhh, it's alright." FML

Today, are you excited for Christmas? Because I'm sure not. When I was 14, my dad got hit by a car on Christmas. At 15, my dog died. When I was 16, I got not presents. When I was 17, the Christmas tree was stolen. I wonder what's next… FML

Today, it hit me hard that the girl I love is not still not interested after a year. She's now ghosting me, and she hangs out with my friends daily. She constantly talks about dating in front of me and only text/calls me when I post shorts/stories hanging out with other girls, just to pull me back in. FML

Today, my mom sent me a text message, asking me why I blocked her on Facebook. I didn't. She blocked me, after drinking a bottle of wine. After having a conversation telling me that I need to go to AA and detox. I didn't have anything to drink, and have been limiting alcohol. FML

Today, my uncle picked up a tissue box and threw it at my sister for fun. My sister got mad and yeeted the box at me. I reacted with the same action, but she lost her crap and kicked and punched me. When I reported the incident to my parents, I get berated and my sister got away with it. FML
