Today, while walking to work, I saw a homeless guy with a funny "NEED MONEY 4 BOOZE" sign, so I gave him a few spare dollars for his humor. On my way back home, he was out cold on the sidewalk with several empty bottles beside him. Whoops. FML

You really didn't think that one through there, OP. YDI

I'm glad he was honest but that's what you get for giving him money

That is why I don't give then cash. I just go to the closest subway and have a healthy and possibly life saving sandwich made, grab a soda and give it to them.

You need to find the FML about 2 homeless guys, and generosity like yours and an apple. Still one of my favourites.

Healthy sandwich and then a fizzy drink? :(

#35 what the hell are you on about? You do realise that in some countries/regions they refer to sodas as fizzy drinks? Where I'm from we call them soft drinks or cool drinks. There's no need to be such a dick just because she used a term that's unfamiliar to you

36 she said that because there are "fizzy drinks" which are not at all bad for you. Kinda like calling all soda "coke". It's misleading and incorrect.

In the uk we call "soda" fizzy drinks. "Soda" is not a term used here, it's probably american/austrailian.

You took a chance, and you were let down. Honesty is the best policy and he was rewarded for it.

You shouldn't feel bad at least you helped him achieve his goal for the day, way to go teamwork!

At least he was honest. I reward honesty. No shame in that OP. What he does after you offer help is on him

You don't go to the big city much, do you? Next time if you see a homeless guy with a sign like that, just buy him a sandwich.

I worked a restaurant in a Canadian resort town when I was a teenager. We had a tip jar, and tried several signs. TIPS worked ok. TIPPING IS NOT A RIVER IN CHINA worked better. But the tips really started to flow in when we changed the sign to BEER MONEY.
