Today, on my last break, a lady comes up to me and asks if she could have a hug because I reminded her of her daughter that died in a car accident 3 years before. Touched, I called my mom to let her know that I loved her. Before I could tell her, she said it was probably a scam and hung up on me. FML

bumgirl tells us more.

Just to clear things up, I was wearing a smock with nothing in my pockets but a lighter and cigs, both were there afterwards. I was joking around with her when she was being rang up for gas inside. I was outside smoking when she pulled up after getting her gas and asked my name and asked permission for a hug. I hugged her for a while and she was crying into my shoulder and telling me her daughter was my age when she died, wore her hair the same way, same glasses, same hair color...( I do believe her because she looked alot like my mom..) Also, to clarify what had happened, I called my mom to tell her I loved her, but I told her what had happened first, and she was just a scam and I should be more careful and hung up before I got the chance to tell her I loved her. Yes, this happened in a city, but where I live is actually just a great big town with a lot people, very low crime rate...People are nice. Pickpockets aren't something you have worry about here. Also she was by herself, so there's no way she had a pickpocket accomplice plus we were outside!

I'm not going to lie, I teared up a bit when I read about the lady asking you for a hug. That was the sweetest thing. At least you told your mom that you loved her. That's all that matters (but her reaction was pretty crappy).

At least you made someone's day by giving a simple hug. I know lots of people who would have said no. You're one of the good ones, OP. Stay that way. =)

who says it's a pickpocket? did she have a hard-on when the hug was over?

I'm glad you hugged her. I don't think this is an FML, though. Just explain to your mum like you did to us.

yeah. I tried. She had no emotional reaction to it whatsoever

Your mom's kind of a douche... no offense...

Aw. Sad, but slightly funny.

Thats actually really sweet. and a really honorable thing for you to do for that lady, and tell your mom to calm down lol because I know my mom would say the same thing

and then he little old lady says her daughter had severe birth defects

sounds like a scam
