Today, I had to watch my neighbor's daughter for 10 hours. She wouldn't eat anything I had to offer, so I ordered a pizza for $19 + a $5 tip = $24. Her father came by to pick her up, thanked me, and gave me a $20 bill. I effectively just paid to watch his kid. FML

Today, while delivering pizzas, someone ordered $19.41 in pizza and wings. After finally finding her appartment, she paid me in two sandwich bags full of pennies and nickels. I had to count them out before giving her the pizza. We aren't allowed to enter the residence, and it was 22 degrees. FML

Today, I babysat for my neighbor's brat kid. The mom gave me $15 for 5 hours. I complained to my mom when I got home because last time I got $15/hour. Turns out my mom had told my neighbor that she thought they'd paid me too much last time. Thanks mom. Thanks. FML

Today, I tutored a kid for two hours, for $25 an hour. When it came time for them to pay, my mother told the kid's parents that they could give me ten bucks for the whole thing. She does this a lot. FML

Today, I was delivering pizzas for my summer job. I got a big order to deliver for a fellow graduate's party. While I was being paid for the order my friend shows up and says "Don't pay him, his parents are rich, he can handle it." Then they shut the door and took off. The bill was $75. FML

Today, I got a $20 tip from an old lady I delivered pizza to. Ecstatic, I walked back to my car where there was a $30 parking fine waiting for me. FML

Today, while I was delivering pizza in the torrential downpour, I waited 5 minutes in the pouring rain for an old lady to dig 20 bucks out of her purse. Her total was $19.99. She told me to keep the change and make lots of money. FML

Did I teach you NOTHING?

Today, I ordered pizza for dinner and left cash by the door so my son could pay for it, in case it arrived before I got home. I told him they should get all the money, but I just found the tip. Apparently he thought I'd miscounted. I'm a server. FML

That's not how it works

Today, I babysat the neighbors’ evil kids. They dropped them over at my house and I played with them for five hours. After taking the brats back home and putting them to bed, their mother asked me what time I came back to the house. She only paid me for the 20 minutes I was in their house. FML

Today, my daughter asked for a dollar to buy ice cream from the ice cream truck while I was on my computer working. Out of my wallet she took a fifty dollar bill. The ice cream man got a big tip before driving off. FML

$20 for 10 hours is stupid. Why were you even willing to do something without knowing how much you'll get out of it?

2 dollars an hour is a good deal, I can see why you didn't say anything about it

Next time give the kid some snacks around the house. Why did you order pizza in the first place if you knew it was gonna be that expensive?

That's about what a large pizza costs here. She didn't eat a large all on her own though. Anyway $2 an hour? WTF?

All I have to say is I'm very happy that you tipped $5. My brother's a pizza delivery person and he ALWAYS gets jipped. Although the babysitting incident sounds like something that would happen with my sister. I babysat a whole summer for her once and didn't get paid a cent >.

I'm also very happy that you tip well, don't worry what goes around comes around and you'll get your share... Those of you who don't know how to tip, you should learn. A lot of the times its all that person has to live on, and often they are supporting more than one person. If you don't know what I'm talking about, imagine if all the money that you got was based on tips, and all you had was that dollar or so per order; I bet you'd need more than one job to survive if you don't depend on ur rents...

First of all, why the hell would you only get $20 for 10 dollars? I'd get like $100 for that much. You should have told him that you had to pay for a pizza for the kid because she wouldn't eat. Then maybe he'd be less cheap...
