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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

For all of you saying they should've given him money and it was selfish not to. "Give me money! It's selfish for you not to!" /sounds weird, doesn't it?

Tell him to piss off, you don't owe him a thing.

Sometimes I actually *don't* have change/cash on me, though, just cards. I often go into places like Starbucks and just buy things with my credit card. I'm not about to give a homeless guy (or anyone else) my credit card. o.-

Man, I never want to give money to homeless people, but I always feel so bad when I don't give them anything :(

FYL. These ******* homeless people need to get the **** out of our faces asking for money. We already pay their unemployment/disability checks with our taxes. They should earn their own money. There are jobs disabled people can do. And if they're too mentally unstable to hold down a job, they should commit themselves to state mental institutions or some such shit. Or they can live on the streets. Whatever. What they CANNOT do is demand money from us as if it is their right. It is not their right. It's called "begging" for a reason.

That's why you tell the guy that you only have enough money to buy a coffee, which would be the only form of nurishment you'd get that day. If he doesn't get that you need the money after that, then he can go f--- himself.

sounds like he didn't deserve it anyway, most bums just say god bless you anyway...which makes you feel guilty. lol

Why do bums act like everyone owes them something? I know some people can't help how their life turns out but come on, not everyone has money to be handing out to all the bums. Most people work very hard for their money and can do whatever they want with it, whether that is giving it to a bum or not. Obviously there was something mentally wrong with him if he followed you and yelled at you. Change? ... Change? ... Change?
