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

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

If you were clever, you could have said, "I have no cash." If that level of deception is too hard for you to figure out, when a bum asks you for money, just say "no."

I cannot decide, sure you lied, but let's face it... The homeless guy is asking for your money, which you worked for... He didn't. He is a begger, I think you made the right choice. I don't hate the homeless, I just hate the lazy.

A firm "NO", with a shake of the head, and you can't be caught in a lie, as you're just communicating that "NO, I'm not thinking giving you money is a good idea". If they follow you cursing, you can also tell them you have loads, but none of it's going to you buddy.........

F his life. Makes sense to me- I have a credit and debit card, but practically never carry cash on me. And even if you had cash, his financial troubles are not your responsibility.

Some people pretend to be bums and don't bother getting jobs because they make so much money doing that. I don't mind sparing some change if the bum in question is DOING something, like playing an instrument or something, but if they just hold signs that say "help feed a brother" or just walk around asking, I'm not going to give anything. It's not selfish not to give to the lazy.

You ******* asshole. You could have at least spared 1 damn dollar for the guy.

Aside from the issue of whether or not you should have given him money, while he was yelling at you you could have explained you bought it with a debit or credit card and used no cash.
