Money: Broke

Broke

By Anon - 22/03/2012 23:32 - United States - Stony Point

Today, I spotted a $100 bill on the ground. Being a little strapped for cash, I excitedly picked it up. I discovered it was one of those religious tract papers made to look like a folded bill, with a message scolding me for being greedy. 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 found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML

Today, I found a $10 bill on the ground. I got so excited and felt like I was the richest person alive. That was, until the wind blew it out of my hand, never to be seen again. FML

Today, I went to a carnival. While walking around with my cousin, I saw a one hundred dollar bill on the ground. Just before I stepped on it, a man grabbed it. His words? "Don't you just hate it when that happens?" And he walked away. FML

Today, I was emptying a bag of grass from my lawn mower when I saw pieces of what used to be a 50 dollar bill. FML

Today, I was walking through a rich part of the city and saw 2 dollars on the ground. I didn't pick it so people wouldn't think I was poor. FML

Today, I found a $20 bill on the ground, so I decided to pick it up. It was actually attached to a string and was meant to be a prank by some kids. They failed miserably, so I took the money. They ran up to me and punched me in the balls for taking their cash. FML

Today, I went out of my way to avoid street preachers thrusting hateful propaganda at me. A young woman ran up to me and started waving paper in my face, and I snapped at her to fuck off. Right afterwards I realised she was returning something that fell out of my pocket. She looked terrified. FML

Today, I went shopping with a friend. She picked up a hundred dollars on the floor that somebody dropped. I told her, "I feel sorry for the retard who dropped the money." When I got home, I checked my purse and realized that I was missing a hundred dollars. FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when a man behind me tapped me on the shoulder. He gave a $5 bill and said that he thought I had dropped it. Not having the integrity to turn him down, I took it. I spent the next 20 minutes being chased by a crazy hobo who claimed that it was his. FML

Well what if someone picked it up to return? Finding money isn't being greedy, better than letting it go to waste. Don't religious people have better things to do?

Those suck. I found one that said "don't get too excited, it's only 10 bucks"

I'm going to make a crazy, wild guess and say it was one of those religious tract papers made to look like a folded bill, with a message scolding OP for being greedy.

And this is why, while I believe in god, I do say **** Organized Religion.

How the **** is finding money greedy? Unless you know whose it is and keep it anyways there's not anything else to do but leave it there for the person behind you or pick it up yourself....

Greedy! Fyl OP, picking up $100 on the street is NOT greedy and that's plenty to get excited about! Sucks that it was worthless..

Sometimes I wonder where some of these churches get the funds to be built so damn huge. Also, OP's dilemma..... Not greedy at all. Anybody would pick up a $100 laying around. I know I would!!

You obviously needed it. Religious people are no better. Before you ask, yes I'm a Christian. Not all of us are crazy. FYL op.

Thanks for that comment. I do not know anyone anywhere in church, out of church, Christian, Wiccan, Hindu, Buddhist, whatever that would not have picked that up. I hate when the nut job Christians make the religion look bad. That tract serves no purpose and only makes people angry and is is good fodder for people to make fun of the religion.
