Today, I went to a new deli in town. While waiting in line, I hadn't made up my mind on what to order, so I let the guy behind me go instead. Turns out he was the hundredth customer, and they gave him his lunch for free. FML

Today, while standing in line at a local Mexican fast food place, I was feeling generous and let a little kid behind me go in front. Turns out he had a list, and was ordering food for his whole family. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my food. FML

Today, I went and bought lunch for all the people I work with. The only meal the place forgot was mine. FML

Today, I went in the diner I always pass by and ordered a sandwich. When I asked how much it was, the waitress replied, "Don't worry, honey. We give free meals to the homeless on Thursdays." I was too ashamed to deny it, so I just said thank you and left. FML

Today, after standing in line for most of my lunch break just to buy food, some asshole with a cart full of stuff cut in front of me. He claimed that he was there the whole time, and the whole line, plus the cashier backed him up. I missed lunch. FML

Panic mode

By jessie nex - 01/06/2024 05:00 - United States

Today, I felt like doing a good deed, so when I bought something at a store I told the cashier to keep the change. The cashier then panicked and said, “What do I do???” Turns out, I was her first ever customer. FML

Today, I was waiting in line for what seemed like forever at the only open lane at the grocery store. The guy in front of me took his sweet time and had multiple cards rejected, before finally pulling out a $100 bill and demanding exact change. He was buying a carton of milk. FML

Today, a customer complained he never got his sandwich, even though I put it in the oven, dressed it up and served it to him. When I went to clear his table off, I saw the sandwich basket. We had to give him his money back. FML

Today, whilst working at Subway, I took an order for 6 footlongs. The entire process took 15 minutes due to the customer's hesitant and glacial pace. When it came to paying, he pulled out his wallet, looked inside, looked at me, and walked quickly out of the store. FML

Well played

Today, during lunch, my coworker offered me her food, claiming she was full. I was still quite hungry, so I accepted it. Halfway through eating the sandwiches, my boss walked in and started interrogating people over who took his lunch. I quickly realized I was the one eating it. FML

Because 8 other people agree that Helenarth loves Nevereverland's trite comment.

If I were you I would be worrying why I have 8 thumbs down.I'm actually thinking about giving you a ninth one.

Your politeness cost you a free delicious sandwich. I applaud your manners but now you see why people make the ones behind them wait

14, I don't think people make others wait because theres a slight chance somewhere that they are going to win a free lunch out of it, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

If you have a roof over your head and food in your fridge (or to-go bag) then life can't be THAT bad. Enjoy the warm fuzzies from giving something to someone else, albeit unknowingly, and go on about your day.

I feel like if I was in this situation I'd just burst out laughing. Stuff like that happens to me all the time. I also think it'd be more awkward for the guy that you let pass; if I were him I'd feel sorta bad.
