Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I got mugged. I also got an extra kick in the face for not having money in my wallet. FML

Great timing
Today, I got mugged. As the guys who took my purse were about to walk away, my cellphone rang in my pocket. FML

Today, I bumped into a man on the street. I apologized and he picked up his wallet. To clear the awkward silence, I pointed out that his wallet looked like mine. It wasn't until I was on the next street that I realized it was my wallet. FML

Thanks, officer
Today, I was mugged. I saw a cop car in the aftermath and flagged it down. Unfortunately, when the cops stopped the mugger, he said he'd been running away because I tried to mug him. Apparently the fact that he was "well-dressed" and I wasn't means he was telling the truth. FML

Leg it
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML

HEY YOU
Today, on the way home, a guy yelled "Hey, YOU!" from behind me, so I walked faster. He ran up to me, shouting, "I said stop, asshole!" I almost pissed myself in fear, thinking I was being mugged. Turns out I'd left my wallet at the grocery store, and he was just trying to return it. FML

No justice anywhere
Stand your ground
Today, some guy tried to mug me. Shocked, I threw a punch that somehow knocked him on his ass. I'm now staring down the barrel of a lawsuit since he was apparently only 16 and "acting out" because of his shitty home life, as if I should have just handed him my wallet politely. FML

That's okay. Just wrote him an I.O.U. for 1 free mugging and call it even Stevens.

This is a whole other level of polite.

Well gee, if a guy was beating me up or had a gun pointed at me, I would apologize too if I couldn't give him what he wanted. Better safe than sorry!

Mugger: "Give me your money!" Victim: " Sorry pal, I don't have my wallet." Mugger: " Same time tomorrow?" Victim: "Yeah, I'll be here with my wallet tomorrow."

Lmao I'm glad I'm not the only one who read this and automatically thought "are you Canadian?"

I'm Canadian. Don't feel too bad bud, because I deal with this problem all the time.

OP, I think it's a brilliant strategy. Even if you did have your wallet, your politeness and apologetic tone might have thrown him off so much that he let you be.

Surely you said that out of nervousness, right OP??? Please say you were nervous because I don't know if anyone is that polite in this world anymore!!!
