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.

That's why I never tell them I don't have money... I just ignore them

When a beggar you wish to have nothing to do with asks for "spare change"; simply reply "I'm sorry, I have no spare change." You're not lying if you have even 1000 pennies in your backpack; I don't know many people who actually have "spare" money lying around; I've pretty much got a purpose for my money and don't just sling it at ever bum I see. I could start out my walk with $100 and be broke inside of an hour somedays. I'm happy to have a few bucks left over from paying the bills and the payments on tens of thousands of school loans. My pay check was/is hard earned, I'm still paying for the "education" than enabled me to get my job; so if it came down to giving a bum a hand out and myself getting to enjoy a Starbucks once (or even a few times) a week...I choose myself every time. I believe in donating to charity, not providing hand-outs. I've given people rides home before and bought meals for people before. I'm quite glad none of the people I've helped have been disgruntled over getting a free ride or meal. I'm not sure how I would react, but I'm fairly certain it wouldn't be kind and would likely have a few words he/she would have no problems understanding my disgust with them as a human being. I'm sorry for your situation, but F HIS LIFE, not yours.

There was a lady at the store the other day asking for money for the bus. I didn't give her any but watched as someone gave her a few bucks. She went inside and bought lottery tickets. Scumbag

I wouldn't feel too bad. Any experienced homeless guy should know that everyone has money, just not necessarily for him. It still probably sucked to have a dirty, vagrant, vulgar dude shadowing you for three blocks.

I hate bums. When they ask me for spare change I usually tell them that I have some but need to spend it on myself. Than I tell them to **** off and get a job.
