Money: Today, I was standing in the gas station, pulling out my wallet...

By Pissed - 21/10/2009 10:05 - New Zealand

Today, I was standing in the gas station, pulling out my wallet to pay the $100 of gas I just filled my car with. I opened my wallet and found a note saying "borrowed money for food". FML

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 pulled into the gas station to fill up only to realize I had forgot my wallet. By the time I went home, got it, and came back, the price had gone up eleven cents. FML

Today, when paying for gas, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet back home. After a moment of panic, I managed to remember my card number. I paid, blowing the cute cashier's mind, and drove away, before my car started sputtering and slowed to a crawl. I'd used the wrong fuel. FML

Today, I got robbed at the gas station I work at. After only getting $38 dollars out the register, the guy then stole my purse. It had my rent money in it. FML

Today, I had to drive down to my parents' house. On they way down, I needed to fill up on gas but unfortunately I'd forgotten my wallet at home with all of my cash and credit cards. I then had to call triple A and explain to them in all seriousness how I ran out of gas at the gas station. FML

Money for nothing

By Broke Bitch - 05/05/2016 21:48 - United States - Albertville

Today, I went to buy some frozen yogurt. I filled up a cup and the cashier rung it up. The total price was $6.92. I only had $5 in my wallet. So I gave her the $5 bill and went to my car to get more money. Little did I know, there was no money in my car. So I drove off. Leaving the $5 behind. 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

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

Today, a couple came into the gas station where I work to ask for directions. While I was giving the woman directions (and even writing them down to be as helpful as possible), the man stole my wallet out of my purse that was sitting on the other end of the counter behind a display. FML

Today, I stopped at the gas station to fill up my tank and get some snacks. I paid the cashier, then got back into my car, totally forgetting to pump the $50 worth of fuel I'd just prepaid for. Too bad I didn't realize until my car came to a sputtering stop about a mile down the road. FML

YDI, check your wallet BEFORE you pump. #91 - Maybe he filled it up to last him a while? I do that, saves me multiple trips to the petrol station.

Agree, you really need to calm down. But, everyone seems to be assuming that ALL people are criminals, and when given the chance they will pump and run. Not everyone is like that. People pumping and then driving off is really rare where I'm from. We just don't do it. And there are only a few places where there are attendants pumping gas for you, and even then you have to option to save 5 cents and pump yourself. Every place is different.

I love how so many Americans seemed shocked that countries on the opposite side of the world operate differently to them. SPENDING $100 ON PETROL? PAYING AFTER YOU PUMP? It's not a big deal lol, I'm sure the OP did have a credit or eftpos card to pay for it, but opening your wallet and seeing $100 missing is definately an FML I love NZ =]

I'd have wiped my ass with the person's sheets and left a note on the pillowcase that said "Had to borrow your sheets to wipe my ass"

God, what kind of car are YOU driving that it takes $100 to fill up your tank?! A freakin hummer? Jesus Christ. I know it's New Zealand dollars, not U.S. dollars, but either way, that's still a LOT. YDI for not having a gas efficient car :)
