Today, I found a $20 bill on the ground, so I decided to pick it up. It was actually attached to a string and was meant to be a prank by some kids. They failed miserably, so I took the money. They ran up to me and punched me in the balls for taking their cash. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as a prank, a friend and I tied a 10 dollar bill to a fishing line, and yanked it away from people as they reached for it. It was going really well until one of our victims pulled a knife and chased us around the block. FML
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, I found a $10 bill on the ground. I got so excited and felt like I was the richest person alive. That was, until the wind blew it out of my hand, never to be seen again. 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
Today, I spotted a $20 bill on the ground. As I bent down to pick it up, the wind blew it away. I ended up running after it like a cartoon character, only to watch it get stuck up a tree. I did consider climbing up said tree, but with my luck I would've fallen off and had to pay 100 times more in hospital bills. FML
Today, I found a wallet on the sidewalk and tracked down the owner through social media. They thanked me, met me to pick it up, opened it, and immediately asked where the $20 bill had gone. There had never been a $20 bill. FML
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
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 found $20 on the ground. I'm so broke, this is the first time in 3 months that I've had any disposable income. FML
Today, while coming out of Walmart, I dropped a $50 bill. Some kid came running up after me yelling, "Hey mister, you dropped this!" as he ran past me laughing. FML

Bunch of little *****. If you pushed/fought back you would've gotten in trouble for hitting a minor. FML indeed.

Lesson Learned, either know when to pull or use a smaller bill. Why wouldn't you use a single?

I don't know if anyone else has asked, but did you get to keep the $20?

I think some people who say OP should've left the kids alone or that the kids were right don't really understand what happened. OP was walking and saw a $20 on the floor and picked it up. He discovered it was a prank only when he got kicked in the balls. I mean if a $20 was just there, I think many, maybe not most, but a lot of people would even just consider taking it. Because it's free money. Those kids should know better that their prank could've backfired. If they're old enough to pull the prank, they're old enough to realize that it might not go according to plan.

Pretty vague wording here. Do you mean that you stole $20 to punish them for failing to prank you or that you picked it up without knowing it was a prank and was attacked shortly afterwords?

Finders keepers, you can call the cops on them for assaulting you, and they will let you keep the money because they basically gave it to you.
