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

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 saw a cute guy on the bus. I smiled at him and he smiled back. After a couple of stops, he got off the bus. He bumped into me, turned around, apologized, and winked. I stood there feeling good about myself. Then I realized he stole my wallet. FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when a little old lady bumped into me and fell over. I helped her up and she thanked me for being "such a nice young man". It was only an hour later as I was in line at the store that I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML

Today, I had gone to the store and bought a new wallet. 5 minutes later a security guard asks for my receipt. Turns out I had dropped my receipt. Some guy had picked it up and pretended I had stole his wallet. The guard confiscated my wallet because the guy had "his" receipt to prove it. FML

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

Today, I felt a tug on my backpack and found my wallet missing. A nice stranger pointed to a guy running down the stairs and said "There goes the guy who took your wallet!" I ran to catch the supposed offender. The 'nice' stranger was the actual offender distracting me as he got away. FML

Wow op either that pick pocket is really bold or you're really naive because he allowed you to see that wallet on the ground and you didn't even recognize it be careful op he's probably gonna get you again

Yeah, pick pockets aren't like lightning. They DO strike again!

But if he stood there holding the wallet, and there was enough time for there to even be an awkard silence, I can't help but wonder if the man had even planned on taking it at first.

Agreed. He's either trying to find OP to get it back to him or he's laughing bc OP is kind of stupid. Check your belongings!!!

Always check before you put your wallet back in your pocket

For some weird reason I read this with a very strong English accent. Sounds awfully civilized what what.

Must have been quite a bump for your wallet to fall out. Too bad your name isn't Carl, otherwise you could have quickly sprinted back and catch the theaving ****. FYL Mr. Lewis.

You bump into a guy "on the streets," as you put it, and see a familiar-looking wallet on the ground. What made you assume it was his?

OP sees the good in people. Nothing wrong with that...except when they pick your pocket.

For some reason, this made think of a scene from Pulp Fiction. "Which wallet is yours?" The one that says Bad Motherf**ker.

Op/Aaron, I'm sorry to tell you this but, you didn't bump into this guy accidentally: he deliberately bumped into you so you wouldn't notice him pickpocketing you. You wouldn't have even realized it until much later if he didn't butter fingers the wallet and drop it after lifting it from you. The awkward silence was him thinking he got caught and then hardly believing his good fortune that you didn't clue in it was yours. Sorry Op, you got conned, twice. :p
