Today, at a supermarket entrance, a seemingly drunk old lady said, "Sir?" as I passed by. I just ignored her and walked in. When I walked out with my groceries fifteen minutes later, several people were standing around her, calling for an ambulance. She'd passed out on the ground. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML
Today, at the supermarket, an old lady asked for directions to the produce aisle. Having read way too many stories lately on this very site about awful elderly folks, I was wary, but helped her out. She gave me an awkward hug in thanks, lifting my wallet in the process, as I later found out. FML
Today, an old lady asked me the way to the shopping mall. The shopping mall was not too far away, but I could see that the lady could barely walk so I offered to drive her there. She smacked my car's door into a pole while getting in my car. She didn't even notice that she'd done something wrong. FML
Today, I was walking out of a grocery store. I hit the button on my key to open the trunk, which hit an old lady just under her chin and knocked her to the ground. As she laid there, she pointed a shaky, bony finger at me and yelled that she would sue me for everything I have. FML
Today, I was at the mall, when I saw an elderly lady drop her groceries, so I rushed over to help her pick them up. She took one look at me, called me a "Liberal bastard," and shouted for me to get away from her before she called the cops. FML
Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML
Today, I saw an elderly lady fall over in the street. Nobody bothered to do anything, so I went over and helped her up. Instead of thanking me, she called me a pervert and slapped me around with her cane. FML
Today, I was at the supermarket when an elderly lady asked if I'd grab some coffee for her from a high shelf. The moment I took my hands off my almost-full shopping cart, she made off with it. I ended up getting thrown out by security after she claimed I was trying to steal it from her. FML
Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML
Today, I was in a grocery store with my great-grandmother. It would've been nice to know she hadn't taken her medication before she started beating the cashier with her umbrella. FML

I don't see why you wouldn't have just asked what she needed, instead of ignoring her COMPLETELY... :/

Why did you ignore her?! Even as a courtesy you should at least see what's wrong and if she looks bad get help for her!

As someone who gets called on by lots of weird and perverted people on the street, I get it. I probably would have ignored her as well just to be safe. Cut OP some slack for Pete's sake.

You know when a diabetics blood sugar is dropping or is very low... They may be acting like they are drunk. Never make assumptions. Douche bag

Don't worry and don't let the kids on FML put blame on you. There are hundreds of situations in which case she could just want to spoil few minutes of your life. It's funny how most users on FML site are saints, they don't cheat, drink nor smell but then when real life comes in, they are still kids.. Once again don't worry. It's obvious if you knew she'll faint you would help her - who knew..

Shit like this gives me no hope for humanity. You, Sir, are part of the problem.

I can't blame him for ignoring what he believed to be a drunk person. He didn't know she was having a medical issue, but once he found out it ****** up his day. That doesn't make him a bad person and he doesn't deserved to be condemned for it. And to anyone whom claimed to help if they were in op's situation AND to wish misfortune on him need to realize the contradiction they are making.

I know I'll get disliked for this but I'd do the same thing as OP I normally just ignore random people that try to talk to me in public. But if she looked like she need help OP could have at least asked what she needed.
