Today, I went to buy lunch at a grocery store. The total was 3 pounds, and my card got rejected for insufficient funds. I fished about for change, and found I only had 2 pounds. A homeless man behind me in the queue then offered to give me the remaining pound. A homeless man paid my lunch. FML

OH MY GOD someone did a good deed for you and helped you pay for your lunch, and instead of being grateful you think your life is fucked?! haha! wow, just because the man is homeless?! shows how shallow, discriminatory, and ungrateful you are! you deserve to starve you uppity, shameless bitch :)

I say YDI to the OP for using a card to pay for lunch.
Carry some money designated for lunch instead of thinking "Ill just swipe my Debit/Credit/whatever other card for lunch"

Yeah - I agree with #48 - that man has next to nothing but is generous enough to give you money for your lunch. I wonder how many times you have walked past a homeless man and given him nothing despite having much more than him? I think this is such a sweet story. I hope you buy him many lunches in the future.

I agree what a shallow thing to say. A kind generous man offered to help you pay for your lunch. He has next to nothing and thought you would have appreciated it instead of some well of person like you shouldnt go hungry. And here you are complaining that a "homeless" man paid for your lunch. Do you see people at the shelter complaining that a rich snob paid for their lunch ? No. They smiled and said thank you.

To be fair, at some points I have considered what it'd be like to just save up a bunch of money, sell all my stuff, and go homeless for a while, living only off the money I've saved up. The only problem is that I've gotten a bit too emotionally attached to all the stuff I have.

I agree with 3. Last time I checked, a place to live is more expensive than a lunch. Maybe he can afford lunch (and maybe he's generous enough to help out even when he really couldn't), but can't afford a home.

I wish I could meet him. It makes me feel a lot better about people in general knowing that people exist with that kind of generosity.

Maybe the OP is an exchange student in Norway. I'm living over seas at the moment and still say dollars instead of euro. Or maybe a Norwegian working in the UK, who posted this when they got back. Pretty dumb reason to call fake.

#144 - On 07/30/2009 at 8:50am by spamme

Yes, its kroner(I still have a 200 bill right on my table after coming back from Norway). A krone is about 1/10 of a GB pound and no one can buy a lunch for 3 NOK neither in Norway, nor anywhere else in Europe, includin UK. But 3 GBP is quite OK price for supermarket lunch in UK (but a bit short for Norway).

OP is not so poor as she pretends if she could afford to go to Oslo - one of the most expensive cities in the world :))

I was thinking the same thing. tomorrow we'll see an FML, "Today, I gave money to this lady for lunch. She F***ed her life, because she thought I was homeless. I'm not. FML."

#76 - On 07/29/2009 at 4:56pm by curryndricegirll

Why is the status of this man lowered or elevated because of his homelessness. I think it was a nice thing that a nice man did. It doesn't matter if he is homeless. It just means, if he was, that he knows the value of people more than money. But I also think this is a message that people need to start doing more for people. People keep going on about how nice the homeless man is. Well are you guys going out and helping pay for lunches. If you aren't then you don't have the right to complain about how the OP is acting. Sure its stupid to judge someone, but its even stupider to judge someone, comment on a good deed and then do nothing.

I don't get why this is a FML. Your lunch was paid for; you didn't even have to *ask* for it, someone offered it out of kindness. Jesus, does your pride matter that much to you that accepting a pound from a homeless man is FML-worthy?

The fact that he has no home doesn't imply he can't be nice to people. He had one pound, and you needed one. It's not terrible, it's incredibly great. The poor, sometimes, are the ones who give the most.

Would you have done the same thing?

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure she thinks her life is fucked because she doesn't have money. "insufficient funds"

I don't think this is her being ungrateful at all. She's just using the fact that a homeless man, who we usually see as a symbol of no money, has more money than her. THAT'S why her life is fucked

Insufficient funds on card? Check.
Insufficient cash in wallet? Check.
Too much wanton spending on useless crap prior to this incident? Almost certainly.

Perhaps you should consider hitting up the welfare bread lines, seeing as when you needed help to pay for a meal a homeless person had the wherewithal to assist you. Hopefully you had the common decency to blow him in an alley afterward.

I agree with #61 - everyone is being really stupid. She's embarrassed, not ungrateful. In fact, she probably FEELS like she's being ungrateful or selfish because it's basically like she took money from a homeless man when she is probably better off.

Look at it this way: how would you feel if a homeless man paid for YOUR lunch? Grateful, sure, but wouldn't you feel a bit guilty?

OP - The man seems very nice, I hope you thanked him profusely.

But seriously, you couldn't have just gone back and got a cheaper lunch instead?

How the hell is the FML?
Honestly, that's so nice of the homeless man to pay a part of your lunch.
Like I understand you'd be embarrassed, but for your to say Fuck My Life that a homeless man GAVE UP his money, not like he has a lot, to pay for your lunch.
I agree, this should be on MyLifeIG! A person you didn't even know helped you pay for your lunch. Let alone a homeless man who doesn't have much to begin with.
You shouldn't complain.
The homeless man should post,
"Today, I paid for a woman's lunch and she thinks HER life is fucked. I try and be nice and SHE complains. FML."
I at least hope you gave him a very big thank you and offered to pay him back.

More like a GMH (Gives Me Hope, Google it) than an FML, for sure! That's really sweet of him to pay for your lunch when he didn't even know you. I wouldn't say your life is fucked when you have a lunch to eat, nor would I say YDI. This was a lame FML, but nice to read all the same.

Why would you take money from a homeless person?
I would've gone without my lunch.

This is NOT an FML. This should be on givesmehope.com

It's ridiculous for you to be down about someone having nearly nothing lending you a hand.

You don't deserve it - you should've gone without lunch.

F the HOMELESS MAN'S life for giving soemthign meaningful to him to someone who wasn't even grateful.

You should seriously be grateful that anyone would pay for the rest of your lunch especially a homeless person. I mean seriously this isn't a FML, you're just a whiney person.

This makes me feel really good, regardless of the harsh and stupid comments by others. There is hope for the world if a homeless man is willing to give up a pound to help out someone who has a house when day after day, people reject them and refuse to help them. I love it when it shows just how many good people there are out there.

that is one of the nicest things i've ever heard. you should be grateful, not resentful. you're life doesn't suck at all. if anything, that should've give you even the slightest bit of hope for humanity. if someone who has nothing offers to give you what they have then that is awesome. why would you complain about that?

Wow, it's kinda nice to see that kind of generosity. They probably didn't have that much money. Strangers giving you change all the time would probably effect your views on things quite a bit, though.

1.) I read it as the OP had mismanaged money and was embarrassed. Then
2.) humbled/conflicted when someone more in need helped pay for lunch. Likely,
3.) it felt awkward & undeserving to even be in that situation, and overall - again, just
4.) an embarrassment to accept money from someone who technically needs it more.

you should be GRATEFULL, he could have used it for himself but wanted to help someone else and just because he has nowhere to live your ashamed to get help from him. thats frustrating, people shouldnt be so judgemental.

Hmmm, I can see how you were embarrassed, but you should appreciate the fact that someone else decided to help you. You would've been more embarrassed if the cashier had told you that you don't have enough and that you'd have to give up some food, right? Though he was homeless, that man was REALLY NICE to you!

Hi everyone, I'm the one who posted this.
First of all. Of course I thanked him! and of course I could have gotten a cheaper lunch, I was going to in fact, but he offered, and insisted, so I accepted, and was very thankful. All of you who keep saying I'm a heartless bitch should have considered that I was commenting on the irony of it and that I was embarassed, instead of saying how my life sucked because someone was nice to me. I thought it was a funny story. I got the impression that many of the stories on this site are funny rather than tragic. I could of course have written he gave it to me and i was super thankful etc etc, but I thought that was kind of implied.
Oh and about the currency. My lunch was 31 kroner. But as I currently live and study in the UK, i'm used to thinking in pounds and thought that would be easier for the majority of FML readers. But apparently that makes me a fake, sorry guys!
And I do in fact give money to charity and homeless people. Not long ago I gave one man my last 8 pounds (this was in the UK), so he could buy a decent meal, figuring I would be OK until I got home 5 hours later.
So those of you who got the irony and embarassement, thanks!

Oh and by the way? If you really need to bitch to people, why don't you comment on some of the other posts here on FML instead? The person who decided to throw rocks at a sleeping homeless person, for instance? I hope you can appreciate the fact that not everyone who writes FML means that their entire life is shit, or even the entire situation. For me, it was embarrassing, and funny in an ironic way. The rest of the situation is of course not something I would ever consider as something that "fucks" my life.

How the fuck is this an FML? A HOMELESS guy helped you pay for your lunch, while he probably doesn't always have enough money to pay for his own. That was amazingly kind of him. You should appreciate it rather than be beyond snobby and bitch it. You disgust me.

This is a GMH, not an FML.
Whoever typed this thinking "my life sucks" is grossly misinformed, and those who let it through moderation are severely shallow. I pity you and your impassionate take on life. I pity your failure to see what actions from other people really translate out to. You should feel so lucky and appreciate that there are people (unlike yourself) that are willing to sacrifice important necessities in order to benefit other people.

I know I'm WAY after the fact on this one, but maybe the person wasn't homeless. You make the assumption because s/he was straggly looking and/or smelly, but chances are s/he's not THAT tight on money if s/he had a pound to spare. I mean, it's very kind in any case, but if this were a person who literally couldn't afford to feed, house, and clothe him/herself, I think she'd be saving that money for necessities.
