Money: Today, I was walking downtown when a bum approached me for some...

Today, I was walking downtown when a bum approached me for some change. I planned to give a couple dollars but after pulling out my wallet exposing my cash, the bum beat me unconscious. The bum is a 5'0" tall woman; I'm a 6'2" male out $200. FML

Today, I was walking home, when I saw a homeless man trying to tear the wallet out of another guy's hand. I can't stand bums, so I smacked him across the jaw. That's when the other one kneed me in the balls and made off with my wallet as well. 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, I was walking through a rough part of town, when a woman screamed that I'd stolen her bag. I was tackled to the ground by a large guy, who then gave my bag to her. FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when a little old lady bumped into me and fell over. I helped her up and she thanked me for being "such a nice young man". It was only an hour later as I was in line at the store that I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet. FML

Today, a man pulled me violently into an alleyway and informed me I was being mugged. Being a body-builder, I said, "Oh yeah? Go on then." He kicked my ass in a matter of seconds, stole my wallet, then farted on my bruised face. He called me a wimp. FML

Today, I got mugged. I also got an extra kick in the face for not having money in my wallet. FML

Today, I was walking to the gym when the woman in front of me dropped some cash. I picked it up and tried to get her attention. She saw the money and thought I was trying to pay her to sleep with me. FML

Today, I picked up a penny off the street for good luck on my job interview. A few seconds later, a hobo beat me up, took my wallet, and ran off. The whole ordeal made me late for the interview. So much for good luck. FML

Today, while I was walking downtown a homeless person asked me for a dollar. I thought it would be funny to wave the dollar in his face and taunt him. I guess he thought it would be funny to stab me in the leg with a pencil. FML

Today, I was walking on a main street downtown. Suddenly, I felt someone slap my butt. I turned around, expecting to be my girlfriend who was to meet me there and almost gave an old homeless man a kiss on the cheek. FML

Honestly, have you not learned to never take out your wallet or show how much cash you have on the streets? Thats just basic.

Gotta watch out for that Falcon Punch. Even homeless women can do it.

i love the doubters. "FAKE!!!" sweet cynicism. you can most definitely be knocked unconscious without having brain damage. when i was younger i accidentally put my head through a glass window and was out cold for like 15 minutes. now i'm studying to be a doctor.

I just hand every bum a bar of soap and go my merry way.

"OP... you're an idiot. Why give money to people who obviously have trouble handling their finances? You'd be better off using your money as toilet paper." Wow, you obviously have no sense of altruism and a very closed mind. 2/5 of homeless people report having some form of a mental illness and close to 1/4 of them meet the criteria for a serious mental illness (such as schizophrenia).

YDI for keeping WAY too much money in your wallet.

Hey, #115. I bet ther are similar statistics concerning your modern teenager. Anyway, it's all a ploy to avoid getting a job. And a closed mind? Most of them are on the streets for drinking and drugs anyway.

Damn that is ****** UP how the hell does that happen she must have hit you pretty hard right where it hurts and then kicked you while you were down... doesn't sound like you hit her back so I guess you could at least call yourself a gentleman for not hitting a woman.. even though she's homeless, but who knows maybe you'll see her again and get some revenge and kick her ass.. better bulk up!

YDI for a lot of the aforementioned reasons - giving money, exposing wallet, carrying 200, getting taken by a 5 ft. girl. I know element of surprise is hers, but still you should be able to win that one. I hate people who comment about time frame like "wait, so you got knocked out and came right home to post on fml?" A) maybe so. B) FML requires "today," didn't necessarily happen today. And maybe this is fake (i.e. maybe they all are), but who cares? I laughed.
