Today, I was cleaning up litter from the street, when a guy asked who I work for. I said nobody and that I was just doing some community service. Before I could clarify that it was voluntary community service, he called me a "piece of shit delinquent", spat on me, and walked off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I tried to help my community by cleaning up a patch of waste ground covered in litter. Instead of gratitude, I was reported to the cops and issued with fines for noise complaints, trespassing, causing a nuisance, littering, harming wildlife, and about 15 other offences. Screw this community. FML
Today, a customer gave me the dirtiest look ever and muttered, "Goody two-shoes prick" after I asked if he'd like to donate a few cents to charity. 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, on my first day as a community support officer, a 7-foot meathead in the middle of a domestic argument told me to “piss off shorty”, and when I asked him not to swear at me, he picked me up one-handed and threw me in a builder's skip full of mud and wet cement. FML
Today, after shoveling one guy's steps, sidewalk, and driveway for two hours straight, I went to ask for my money. He said, "Work is its own reward!" and shut the door in my face. FML
Today, while volunteering at a local museum, I politely told an elderly gentleman to have a nice day. He responded by yelling "NO" and storming off. Everyone looked at me like I was some sort of monster. FML
Today, I got fired from the community service I was doing out of kindness. 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 on patrol with my partner, we came across a guy getting a beat-down on the sidewalk. After restraining the attacker, we helped the victim to his feet, only for him to spit at us and call us "goddamn pigs". You're welcome, sir. FML
Today, I was accosted by an angry homeless man at the recycling center, since I refused to give him my saved up bottles and cans. He insisted that he needed it more and I was "poaching his turf". I needed the recycling to put gas in my car, just to make it to work and hope I could make it back home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The people in this world do not fail to surprise me. It's disgusting how a person can treat another human like that.

You should've hit him with some of that cleaning equipment.

What a dick. I'm sorry that happened. You sound like a really sweet guy and I hope this doesn't deter you from doing more good things. Maybe next time be more direct and say because I want to and more people should also.

If someone spit on me, they would be praying for the police to come to their rescue... Just saying.

Isn't that assault? You should report that scumbag to the police. And good job picking up trash, even though the people who threw it there should be doing it. I feel too guilty to even spit out a wad of gum on the ground.

sue for verbal abuse and something about bodily fluids. some peoples spit carry diseases so it can be a hefty charge

You can't sue for those things, you over-litigious idiot. Spitting can be considered a minor assault but wouldn't be worth pressing criminal charges unless it was an ongoing attack, and verbal abuse isn't slander unless it is defaming your character and they said it to people of importance.

Jumping to conclusions too quickly? Poor OP

"Community service" actually implies that you're a prisoner. I've volunteered at a few places where I was informed to say that I was engaging in "service for the community" to avoid confusion
