Money: Today, a girl-scout asked me to buy cookies, in front of Giant....

Today, a girl-scout asked me to buy cookies, in front of Giant. She looked nice, so I bought 5 boxes from her. She took the money and went home with her mom. I opened the boxes when I got home and realized that the boxes just had rocks in them. I got scammed by a girl-scout. FML

Today, a group of girl-scouts came to my door selling chocolate bars. I bought 2 bars and smiled as they left, thinking I'd done a good deed. When the door closed, I heard one of the girls say, "Told you, the fat bitches always wanna buy from us." FML

Today, I was walking through Borders with my girlfriend, when we pass a girl scout cookies stand. I see a box of Samoas, my favorite, point at them, and shout, 'YEAH'. My girlfriend looks shocked. Behind the box of cookies was a five year old scout bending over, with her bottom pointed at me. FML

Annoyed

Today, I was at work, about to go to lunch. There were some girl scouts out front selling cookies. I told my manager that I would be using a different exit, and when he asked why, I told him that girl scouts really annoy the crap out of me. The girl scouts out front were his daughters. FML

Today, I purchased a box of girl scout cookies from a coworker. I wanted to save them for later at home, so I placed them on my desk and then headed to a meeting. When I returned, there was an empty box sitting there with a post-it note saying, "Thanks!" Nobody will own up to it. FML

Today, I was at the mall, I saw a girl crying that her ice cream had fallen on the floor. Feeling generous, I bought her a new one. She threw it on the ground, laughed, and came over to her mom and told that I was bothering her, so the mom called security. FML

Today, I was selling winter-themed cookies at my university. I cheerfully asked a girl if she would like to buy cookies to support peer tutoring. Her response? "I don't eat food." FML

Today, as I walked out of the local store, I noticed a young girl was sitting on the curb, crying. I nudged her with the Snickers bar I had bought earlier, thinking she needed it more than me. After looking at it, she yelled, "PEDOPHILE!", punched me in the balls, and then ran away screaming. FML

Beggars can be choosers

Today, I saw a girl asking for money on the median of an entrance to a parking lot with her dog. Later, I bought a box of dog treats for her. I drove up and handed it to her. She rolled her eyes and said, "How the hell am I supposed to carry that?" I sat there in stunned disbelief with the box she refused to take. FML

Today, while buying groceries, I noticed that the lady in front of me had left a box behind. I grabbed the box and ran out the door after her. After turning around to find three employees chasing me, I noticed I had just stolen the donation box. FML

Today, I got a package containing a present from my grandma. It was a pack of cookies someone gave her for her birthday, and which no one in the family wanted to take home when she offered, because we all found the cookies disgusting. FML

Hate to say it man, but if you can't tell a box of cookies from a box of rocks, you deserved it. :p

you should have at least checked to see if the box had been opened before you gave her your money. That was just stupid.

Really who examines a box of girl scout cookies? You buy them because those innocent looking soliciters could sell you anything, you take your 500 dollar box of cookies and savor each of the 5 cookies in the box. Little scammers!

Why have so many people not heard of Giant? It's one of the largest grocery store chains in the US.

#44 you are so dumb... US is not the only country in the world. Have you heard of The Warehouse or Farmers? No. Because Americans only think of themselves. Who expects kids to trick you like that? Girl-Scouts are taught about honesty and the like, I doubt I'd check every packet I bought. And you do mean packets, don't you? Not boxes (which would contain many packets) (Again, that might be an american thing, but in NZ, a box contains 30 packets, and a packet is 15 biscuits)

I'm pretty sure that Girl Scout cookies have remained at $3.50 a box for a very long time. The reason you get fewer cookies in the box is because the price stays the same.

Damn, if only I was that smart at that age! GS cookies have been $3.50 for at least 8 years in NE USA. I remember selling them at $1.50, and I'm only in my 20s... But either way, one should be able to tell the difference b/w cookies and rocks. Even moving them slightly you'd be able to tell the difference.
