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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw a homeless man on the street and decided to give him the dollar bill I had left in my wallet. He said "Thank you" then as I turned to walk away, he muttered "Cheap-ass cunt". 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, I saw a homeless guy in the street. It really upset me how everyone's spirit of giving vanished as soon as Christmas was over, so I said fuck it and gave him about $50 worth of money. I barely made it 10 feet away, when another guy mugged him for the money I just gave. FML
Today, a homeless man asked me for some money to eat. He ate the five dollars I gave him. 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 came across a street musician. He looked extremely well-fed already, but his music was pretty good, so I gave him some spare change. As soon as I turned away, he started screaming at me for being "cheap", and chased me half a block before running out of breath. FML
Today, I tried to give some change to a homeless man. My girlfriend pulled me away and ranted about how homeless people are all basically bastards who deserve their misfortune, and that I shouldn't give "our" money away. 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 realized that I'm a terrible human being. For the first time in my life, I gave some change to a homeless guy, but only so he'd get out of my face long enough for me to watch two other bums beating the crap out of each other over a sandwich. FML
Today, while walking down the street, a homeless man walked up to me. He opened his mouth to say something and I immediately said that I didn't have any spare change because I was late for work. He then said "I was gonna ask you for the time, dickwad". Apparently he wasn't homeless. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Makes me think maybe not a homeless guy after all?

This is a prime example why I'm scared to give homeless people money. I get nervous that I'm going to hand money to someone and they're going to by drugs with it. Or they're going to be ungrateful with how much I give. I now just give money to this homeless newspaper here in my town. Contributions go towards the homeless shelters.

Why are you afraid of what someone might do with the money you give them? Technically it's their money now , so if they need a little smack to get through their shitty life as a transient, then that's their choice.

"I said a dollar bitch!"

That was the first thing that popped into my head too.

Oh well. You did a good thing and the guy just ended up being a complete douche. Nothing you can do about that OP.

I feel there is more to this than originally posted. I see no reason why a homeless person would yell that after being given $10.

Drugs probably.

Maybe he is a schizophrenic? There are several schizo homeless people in Dallas that live near the house of blues. They talk to walls and yell random curses at people handing out food.

I live in this area and there are so very many with psych disorders that just can't help themselves. And being a border state, we have a lot of immigrants that stand around at the 7-11 near me trying for day work. You just never know what someone really wants or needs. All you can do is try.

Trust me, in Arizona, I handed a guy a five and he looked at me and said "That's it? Cheap f***." I snatched the bill back and walked away.

That's why I don't give money to homeless people.

I work downtown where there is quite a bit of homeless people, don't take it too hard, most of them aren't mentally right

a lot of homeless people have mental problems so he might not have meant it. also as someone who was homeless (and an addict), i wouldn't give them money as if they're addicts it'll go on that. a hot meal or a blanket or a cup of tea is usually better. but the effort behind your actions is lovely so don't feel bad at all.

I donate at work, and I donate blood. Not part of United Way to have my donation help you, or you don't need blood? Then I'm out of ideas. I'm not giving green dollar bills. I am not buying you drugs. I gave a man a ham sandwhich when he said he was starved. He tried to peddle it for drugs in a back alley in Chinatown in Chicago. He said he and his daughter were starving! Never again. Not even a damn sandwhich is gonna help.

are you certain he was homeless? maybe he was just dressed poorly and you insulted him. idk free food is all I'm thinking.

Atleast you tried to do the right thing, not your fault the guy was a prick.
