Today, at the supermarket, a man collapsed. I gave CPR while the cashier called for help. During this, the other patrons were complaining that no other register was open. Once the ambulance arrived, I returned to my cart to find items removed and 40 dollars taken from my purse. FML

Today, I went to the store, but after I'd selected my items, I saw that I'd forgotten my wallet. When I tried to explain to the cashier, he thought that I was trying to steal and called the cops. My roommate had to come to the store to save me. FML

Today, I was at the store when I saw that a cart in the checkout line next to me was starting to roll away and the owner hadn't noticed. I tried to help by reaching out to stop the cart from moving, but when the owner saw me with the cart, she began to hit me for trying to steal her purse. FML

Today, I went to the supermarket to buy my weekly groceries and only realized after a long queue at the checkout, then having the cashier scan my entire cart, that I'd forgotten my purse. I had to leave everything behind and walk out empty-handed, while everyone in line behind me gave me dirty looks. FML

Today, I saw an elderly man struggling to make it across a busy street. I jumped up from my table at Starbucks to help him, leaving my things behind. When I got back to my table feeling good, I found that my coffee had disappeared. So had my wallet. FML

Today, I fainted on the sidewalk. When I woke up, I was still lying on the sidewalk, people were stepping over me and my purse was gone. FML

Today, while at the mall, a lady dropped her credit card while in line to buy something. I came over, picked it up and gave it to her just for her to shove it in my hand and scream, "She's stealing my wallet! My wallet!" The police came. FML

Today, as I turned to face the cashier at the supermarket, I managed to knock over an entire display of gift cards with my backpack. FML

Today, since it's company policy, I had to go to the back of my small store to retrieve an item for a customer, even though I was working by myself. I came back to find that since she couldn't get into the cash register, she found and stole my purse instead. FML

Okay, how does OP deserve this? There are way to many votes in the ydi

#34: They were the ones complaining about no other registers being open.

OP clearly deserves it as there are trained professionals for dealing with these situations. Just like there are professionals trained to move tiny birds nests.

And when you collapse in public and have no oxygen circulating to your brain until the professionals arrive and suffer irreversible brain damage or death (anything greater than 5 minutes) because of it, you may rethink your ignorant comment.

Sarcasm I believe in. It's people I worry about. Considering how many people asked why OP left her purse unattended.

No, OP was helping the man. The other customers (not OP) were the ones standing around complaining.

It really makes me angry. "Oh you deserve it for saving someone's life." Really? Pathetic.

It's just money you saved someone's life!! I think that is worth a little bit more than 40 bucks

They were probably jealous that you got to make out with some random dude on the floor. I guess they figured he was going to pay you a lot more than $40 for this service, so they could help themselves and you'd still come out ahead. I can't explain away the removed items from the cart. That's going too far! I've lost my faith in humanity!
