Today, I got a taxi home from work. Only having notes in my wallet, I told the taxi driver that I'd run inside my house and come back out with the change for the journey. He agreed, but only if I left my bag as collateral. It seemed fair. An hour later, I realized my wallet was missing. FML

Today, I called a taxi after a night of partying. When it arrived, I realised I had no cash, so I told the driver I'd quickly grab some from an ATM. He made me leave my phone with him as collateral in case I was pulling a prank. He drove off the moment I turned my back. FML

Today, I was taking a taxi home after drinking too much. I started to feel sick and, not wanting to be charged the cab cleaning fee, threw up into my handbag instead. When we got to my place I then had to fish through my bag for my wallet to pay the driver. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML

Stuck

By Kayla - 18/12/2011 05:25 - United States

Today, I had to take two buses home from a friend's house. After waiting in the cold for the second bus for 40 minutes, it finally came and I realized that I'd left my wallet on the first bus. It took me 2 hours to walk home and I was locked out because my house key is attached to my wallet. FML

Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML

Minus one Karma

By Frasier - 10/08/2024 16:00 - United States - Portland

Today, I lost my wallet while out shopping. Panicked, I retraced my steps and found it at a store, turned in by an employee. Grateful, I opened it to find a note that read, "We left the money but took one dollar for karma." I checked. They did actually take one dollar. FML

Today, I had an argument with my partner, which resulted in us breaking up and me leaving. I drove for half an hour before I realised I had left my handbag, purse and licence at his place. I had to go ask for it back. FML

Today, I went for a job interview. Before giving me a tour, the manager pointed to my purse and said, "Better leave that in my office." I didn't know why it was safer in her office than on my shoulder, but I complied. Later, I went to buy coffee and discovered that all my cash was missing. FML

You deserve it for leaving your personal belongings in a freakin taxi, especially your wallet. Moron.

My buddy dropped his wallet with 700$ in it one time .. He was kinda stupid for carrying that much money on him , but nonetheless .. Cabbies are ****** ruthless

I would have said it more politely than #11, but I agree with his overall sentiment. Best to keep your wallet on you at all times. I'm sorry the cabbie was such a butt, though.

I assume by "notes" the OP meant bills and "Change" the OP meant coins. In which case, why didn't you just pay with the bills?

Pshh I woulda got out the taxi with your bag anyway. It's not like he doesn't know where you live DUHH. And what else would he of done if you said no? He can't drive around with you in the taxi forever.

agreed. Just take the bag! I don't get why all the comments said she shouldve taken what she didn't want stolen with her. Its not like the taxi driver couldve done anything about it.

hopefully you got his name, cab # or license #. no need for collateral though - next time think about it. he knows where you live, if you don't come back with the money he can find you. or leave something like a shoe for collateral.
