Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML
Today, as I was coming out of McDonald's, there was a street musician playing outside. He had his saxophone case open for money. I meant to give him a ten, and it wasn't until I got home later that I realized I'd accidentally given him a hundred-dollar bill. FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She picked up a hundred dollars on the floor that somebody dropped. I told her, "I feel sorry for the retard who dropped the money." When I got home, I checked my purse and realized that I was missing a hundred dollars. FML
Today, I spotted a $100 bill on the ground. Being a little strapped for cash, I excitedly picked it up. I discovered it was one of those religious tract papers made to look like a folded bill, with a message scolding me for being greedy. FML
Today, a customer handed me a 100 dollar bill. He then told me that it was my tip for doing a good job. He snatched it away just as I touched it, laughed, and said, "Just kidding." He then took his money and left the store. FML
Today, I was walking through a rich part of the city and saw 2 dollars on the ground. I didn't pick it so people wouldn't think I was poor. FML
Today, I put my paycheck in my wallet, intending to cash it in the next day. Later on, I met up with a friend and went to a party. I ended up getting so drunk, I gave away my $400 check in exchange for a pack of smokes, thinking it was a $5 bill. FML
Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML
Today, when I went to pay for my groceries, I accidentally handed the cashier a condom instead of my $20. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when a man behind me tapped me on the shoulder. He gave a $5 bill and said that he thought I had dropped it. Not having the integrity to turn him down, I took it. I spent the next 20 minutes being chased by a crazy hobo who claimed that it was his. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for not checking to see if the bill you're handing over is a $1. And LOL at you considering giving a homeless guy $1 "generous". A little bit of money is not gonna make a difference in a homeless person's life. what they need is a place a stay and opportunities to become part of society. The next time you want to be generous, donate food, supplies, or money to a homeless shelter. Not only will you get more bang for your buck, but the people running the shelter will love you forever.

i always keep at least 5 1 dollar bills on my pocket,so i can give someone like a beggar or just a stranger that needs a quick buck, the rest goes on my wallet or bank. It is not very wise to pull out your wallet in front of a beggar,specially here in NYC. FYL

At times like these, I'm glad my danish bills have a colour for every size.

Look at it this way. Maybe karma will pay you back for it, even if it was an accident. Or maybe it was karma's way of getting you back for something.

I'm shocked by how many people are referencing drugs, alcohol and prostitution as what this man asking for any thing you could give will be buying what is wrong with today's society that helping the fellow human being became such a taboo thing? Karma will pay you back both the negative people and the positive people I'm utterly shocked and sick to my stomach, let's hope none of you ever have to beg for help

1)This is the Internet, people make jokes like this all the time. Get over it. 2)People here don't think helping people is taboo. I personally think that money is better spent on homeless shelters or organizations that actually HELP homeless people become a part of society. That way your money goes more to people who are trying to better themselves.

Call it good karma and move on. There are worse things in life than feeding a homeless man for a good while

How can he possibly deserve that? Op was being generose and gave the bum a 100 by accident

I think it's very sad OP felt $1 was being generous. I have mixed feelings about beggars but when a generous mood strikes me, I give enough so they can at least buy a meal.
