Miscellaneous: Today, I witnessed a homeless man fall off of his bike and land...

Today, I witnessed a homeless man fall off of his bike and land face first onto the pavement. Bleeding and shivering in the 40 degree weather, I gave him the coat off of my back. He got up like nothing happened and sprinted away with it. Oh yeah, my wallet was in the inside pocket. FML

Today, I was riding my bike to work in a hurry and hit a pothole. I flew off and hit the ground hard. I was badly shaken, but an old lady came over, checked me out and helped me to my feet. After she left the scene, I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet while "helping" me. FML

Today, I was riding on my bike when I saw a homeless guy holding a sign saying, "Need money, stranded from Oklahoma." I decided to be nice, and hopped off my bike to give him $2. He took the money, and then jacked my bike. FML

Today, I was walking home, when I saw a homeless man trying to tear the wallet out of another guy's hand. I can't stand bums, so I smacked him across the jaw. That's when the other one kneed me in the balls and made off with my wallet as well. FML

Today, I saw a homeless man on the corner, I thought I would be generous and give him some cash. I rolled down my window and waved my hand for him to come over. As he was walking over, he was struck by another car. FML

Today, I helped a "blind" man across the street. He kindly said thank you and patted me on the back. Then, I went into a store and realized my wallet was missing. FML

Today, I was skating in the city when I slipped and fractured my arm. As I was lying in pain, a guy walked up to me, frisked my pocket and took my wallet. He then said, "It's nothing personal." FML

Today, as I was walking home, I felt my feet slip out from under me and I face-planted in the slushy, dirty, melting snow. I rolled over, completely soaked, and attempted to get up, thinking no one saw me. A mail-man then passed me without offering to help, and said, "I've seen worse." FML

Today, I gave a homeless man my last bit of spare change so he could get on the bus. Just as I was about to get on too, I realized I'd lost my bus card. I had to get off the bus and watch as the man waved at me through the window. FML

Today, I was walking down the street when a homeless man asked me for some spare change. I told him I didn't have any. I then tripped. Not only spilling the soda I was drinking all over myself, but also spilling the spare change I had from buying it. FML

Isn't if funny how the world works sometimes? You try to do something nice, and you get screwed.

What did you really expect to happen? How would you feel if you were homeless and freezing, and someone gave you a coat, only to take it away again? I'm sorry, but in my book that doesn't count as a good deed, since the coat will raise the man's body temperature so that if you take it back, he'll be even colder. If you wanted to keep him warm, you should have bought him a coat. You shouldn't feel like the victim here - you gave him a coat, he took it as a gift. You did a nice thing, and you're complaining that you couldn't undo it?

Agreed. And he would stink up your coat as well.

All moral debates aside, if you're from Michigan, why would you ever use "shivering" and "40 degrees" in the same sentence? 40s are toasty shorts weather for me, a Bostonian, and Michigan is far worse than Boston in the winter.

That is why I never do anything for homeless people. I'd rather donate to Good Will because I bought a hamburger for a homeless guy once, and he just threw it on the ground and walked away.

I work at a pretty expensive fast food restaurant. One day, this homeless lady was outside of our drive thru picking up the spare change. I literally ran out to the back to catch up with her with a meal for her and she opened the box and spit in it, handed it back to me then walked away. :/

Wow, it was 40 degrees?! How on earth do you LIVE? Do you have to wear a full bodysuit lined with hot water bottles? Seriously man, 40 degrees is not cold. Its not even below freezing. If someone shivers in 40 degree weather, they need to move to Caribbean or something.

Dude, what if she came from Texas. Down here, people shiver in 70 degrees weather, only because its always in the 90s, and sometimes the 100s. but i dont care, i like the cold.
