Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML

Today, as a joke, my friend put my bus money in the vending machine. Not only did the machine not return my money, it wouldn't give me an item in return. FML

Today, I had to pay my bus fare in very small change. After carefully counting out coins under the withering glares of a bus-load of people, I quickly slid them into the machine, and somehow ended up jamming it. FML

Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML

Today, I had to skip lunch to work on a big project, so I stopped by a vending machine. The number I wanted was 126, but I accidentally typed 124, using my last dollar. 124 was the only empty row. FML

Today, after rushing to the bus stop and frantically boarding at the last possible second, I realized that I didn't pay my fare with a single, but a twenty. FML

Today, I withdrew €40 at the ATM to pay for dinner later tonight. It wasn't until I went to pay for it that I realized I'd taken the receipt, but left the cash in the ATM. FML

Today, I walked into a gas station and saw some $.25 gum. It looked good and I thought I had a quarter in my pocket. I found no change in my pocket once I got to the register, so I pulled out my credit card. The cashier laughed a few seconds later when my card was declined for a piece of gum. FML

I agree with 56 I don't see many machines that take 5's let alone 20's...

You deserved it. 1: Can't you look at the 20 sign on the bill? 2: Your life is not over, you didn't lose any money, it just got put into quarters so stop being such a baby. 3: It's VERY easy to put the coins in your change purse and take them to a nearby bank or store. How is this an FML?

maybe the vending machine had enough change for the 20 and at least it wasnt an 100 dollar bill!

That's what I was thinking. I'm sure op can find some use for the coins. I do find it amusing that they referred to the bill as "my twenty" implying that it is the only one they have and somewhat cherished. Fyl for being poor op.
