Today, I went out with my mom to a restaurant. We were sitting down to eat, and a waitress walks over to our table and asks, "How are you ladies doing tonight?" It really was a nice thing to ask, for my mom. As for me, being a man, not so much. FML

Today, I went out to eat with my girlfriend. The waiter came up and was being nice. He said, "What can I get you two gentlemen?" FML

Nice try

Today, I was working as a host at a pasta diner. The hostess I was working with was very attractive and we were flirting quite a bit. A large woman walked in to be seated, and I leaned over to her and dared her to ask the woman if she wanted two chairs. She leaned back and said, "That's my mom." FML

Today, I had dinner for the first time with my boyfriend's parents. It was awkward enough without his mom asking, "So, what do you do for fun, besides my son?" FML

Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML

Creeped out

By bezoar10 - 04/04/2009 19:36 - United States

Today, my mother and I went to lunch and there is a really cute waiter that works at the diner. I requested him to wait on us like I sometimes do. While we were waiting to be seated, I heard one waiter say to the cute one, "Ya, the creepy one is back, and this time she brought her mom!" 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, I bought some flowers. As I was checking out, the cashier asked, "Aww, these for your mom? How sweet." I responded they were for a girl I liked. She laughed and said, "Sorry…" FML

Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML

Grown up

By ugh - 14/08/2012 16:52 - United States

Today, I went out to dinner with my boyfriend and his mom. The hostess asked if I needed "the kid's menu," remarked how I look "so grown up for your age," and asked what grade I was in. I said I'm in university. She laughed as if it was the best joke ever told. I'm 22. FML

Today, I went to the mall with my mom. We were in American Eagle shopping for spring clothes, when a few good looking guys walked by and whistled at me. I smiled at them. They were checking out my mom, not me. FML

You should respond in the deepest voice you can muster, "Great how about you?"

That happened to me when I first went out with my wife. The waitress kept saying ladies and you girls. I said to my wife as loud as I could "so what's it like to be a lesbian" and she turned bright red. But the waitress didn't get it and kept calling me miss. I left without leaving a tip and the waitress stopped my wife on the way out and asked why we didn't tip and my wife told her "My boyfriend didn't appreciate being called miss all night". And she tried to get me to go back in to apologize. I just never went back to that restaurant.

kinda dramatic also you refer to her as wife but she calls you her boyfriend? and the waitress ran after you to ask about a tip? me thinks BS

You should have corrected her instead of denying her a tip for a mistake that could have been remedied in one sentence.

I bet you just have a super hot mom and that's what all the focus was on is all. otherwise it's your fault for not showing her your chest hair and letting her smell your old spice

Yea as a former waitress I can say I've done this and been very very embarrassed after. Sometimes when we are rushing we don't even really look at everyone.
