Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML

Today, while getting out of Starbucks there was a homeless guy. I bought him a coffee and he was so happy he gave me a hug. Guess whose wallet is missing? FML
Today, a man came up to me and asked for a $50 bill in change. Being a good man, I said sure. I gave him the change and he gave me the $50 bill. After walking into Starbucks to buy a coffee, I handed the cashier my $50 bill. She called the cops. It was counterfeit. FML
Today, I saw an elderly man struggling to make it across a busy street. I jumped up from my table at Starbucks to help him, leaving my things behind. When I got back to my table feeling good, I found that my coffee had disappeared. So had my wallet. FML
Today, I passed a homeless person asking for change. When I politely apologized and told him that I had none, he yelled angrily, "Who comes to this city without money?" I replied, "Apparently, you do." Wrong answer. He followed me, now screaming. FML
Today, while I was walking home, a homeless man saw me and didn't ask for change, but how much I charged. 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, my friend and I walked 3 miles to a Starbucks. We went inside, paid for our coffees and walked the 3 miles back to my house. We forgot to pick up our coffees. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when a homeless man asked me for some spare change. I told him I didn't have any. I then tripped. Not only spilling the soda I was drinking all over myself, but also spilling the spare change I had from buying it. FML
Today, trying to do a good deed, I gave a homeless guy a $10 bill. As I walked away, he yelled after me, "You fucking bitch!" FML
Today, I was sitting in the park eating a sandwich, when a homeless guy asked me for some spare change. I said I didn't have any. He offered an "erotic striptease" in exchange for my sandwich. I said no. He gave one anyway. I walked back to work on an empty stomach. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

you're not obliged to give your money to a bum anyway!

Haha. This happened to me once, just keep on walking and drop a couple of quarters to keep him occupied while you make an escape.

FYL for not telling him you paid for your drink with a card.

bums are a dredge on society. They should all be rounded up and promptly and efficiently executed

This is why I rarely give homeless people money. Only food. Or coffee when it's cold. One time I was walking down a street near campus where a lot of the students shop and eat, and a homeless guy asked for change. I told him all I had was a card and he asked me to buy him a meal. I don't even eat at any of the places there but two or three times a semester because it's too expensive... I hate pushy homeless people.

I can't stand pusHy people. Bottom line is you don't owe anyone else YOUR money.. You found a source of income, and because you're more fortunate doesn't mean you HAVE to hand your money out. Is a nice gester? Yes. But if someone started harassing me over me wanting to keep my own money, I'd throw a fit.

omg just say you only have your debit or credit card that's what I always do it's not like you're gonna go take money out, get change and give it to the hobo but if you are gonna get a hobo something, just get him something to eat, they always appreciate that, instead of money cause they might buy drugs or beer

This homeless individuals is not entitled to a single cent of your money. But it's not exactly cool to lie either. Just do what I do: acknowledge that your money isn't for them.

#242 i know that they do have certain resources, but in toronto people treat them like skum. im not saying everybody but most. also a lot of them have mental illnesses and their family has abandoned them so they have no choice to be homeless. i see this all the time people driving buy in big fancy cars and never even stoping to give a bit of change. obviously they didnt have the right to run after the OP like that but they could have given them a bit of change. if they have so much and the homless people have less than nothing. i dont understand why people cant be a little compassionate. as for the shelter, i wasnt aware we had one. i still dont know. mabye there would be less homeless people on the streets if we had more shelters. as for giving them food, how do they know its not tainted or poisoned. they probably realized that mabye some people obviously dont want them there and think their scum. also whould you know if one out of thousands of homless people died. if i were them i wouldnt take food either. BTW if there are homless shelters why do i see homeless people wrapped in a sleeping bag in winter, freezing to death.

FYL. I've dealt with situations sort of like that. I live in Boston, so there's a lot of homeless people around. If they look like they're not drunk or on drugs, I'll give them some change. But if not I keep on walking, which has caused me to be "cursed" by the same Chinese drunk man who "lives" on my block about 7 times. Most of those times I actually didn't have anything under a $20 on me, and I wasn't about to give him my spending money so he can go buy some Sambuca. Although one time he "cursed" me and I stubbed my toe 5 minutes later. But yeah, you're not obligated to give him anything so you didn't deserve it. He's an arsehole. And FHL for being homeless and having a horrible attitude.
