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!

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.

What if the guy really needed the money? I would've been happy to help, who gives a fugg if he's going to ask for more later. YDI

I've stopped giving the homeless money after several of them who claimed to be hungry have turned down my offers for food.

I think you did the right thing not giving him any money. Even if you had a hundered dollars in pennies and your pants wouldn't stay up for the sheer volume of change you had, I would say don't give him a cent. I have all too often been out circulating resumes, down to my last dollar or two, with rent due and an empty fridge, and been harassed for change by seedy, downright sleazy homeless people smoking cigarettes of all things, and wanted to punch them out. Why should anyone give some homeless guy their money they worked for? It's just that simple. We all have to have a job and get our money somehow, if we'd rather buy a strawberry frappuchino than donate to the five finger charity then fine, it doesn't make you any worse a person. I know personally, I shamelessly tell homeless people i'm broke and don't think twice about walking on into a store, buying something, and walking past them again. If a homeless guy gave me crap like that, i'd have some harsh words for them. I'm not the type to tell a guy asking for change to get a job or start something, but for sure if they came at me like that, harassing me, i'd flag down a cop or turn on them and really let them have it. Don't feel bad, you don't owe him anything. Never give your money to someone just because they can't be bothered earning their own unless it's a friend who can pay you back. That homeless guy will never walk up to you when he has money, remembering that you helped him out and repay the kindness, so screw him.

I don't think you should have given him money, but YDI for not being quick enough to say "I only had my credit card." Coffee explained, problem solved.

Solution #2: Tell him to **** off Solution #3: Dip into a fancy store, ruffians won't be allowed in, and they see you have starbucks so they'll welcome you.

YDI for being a mean spirited liar. And YDI for the Strawberry Frappuccino. Feel free to be a bitch, but at least get better taste in beverages...
