Today, while walking to work, I saw a homeless guy with a funny "NEED MONEY 4 BOOZE" sign, so I gave him a few spare dollars for his humor. On my way back home, he was out cold on the sidewalk with several empty bottles beside him. Whoops. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, I was riding on my bike when I saw a homeless guy holding a sign saying, "Need money, stranded from Oklahoma." I decided to be nice, and hopped off my bike to give him $2. He took the money, and then jacked my bike. FML
Today, I saw a homeless man on the corner, I thought I would be generous and give him some cash. I rolled down my window and waved my hand for him to come over. As he was walking over, he was struck by another car. FML
Today, I saw an old homeless man who had just fallen down due to his drinking. Everyone laughed at him, but I felt bad, so I went to help him up. My reward? A quick punch in the face, landing me in the hospital. FML
Today, at 6am I was waiting for the tram to go home from my late night job. A homeless man came up to me and offered to buy me a beer because "guys like us have to stick together." FML
Today, a homeless man asked me for some money to eat. He ate the five dollars I gave him. FML
Today, a homeless guy asked me for a cigarette. Knowing that I only had a couple left in my pack, I gave it to him. He opened it, took one out and thanked me profusely. A bit surprised, I went on my way. Oh yeah, that's right, the pack contained the money I'd withdrawn from an ATM. 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, 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, 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

I'm glad he was honest but that's what you get for giving him money

That is why I don't give then cash. I just go to the closest subway and have a healthy and possibly life saving sandwich made, grab a soda and give it to them.

You need to find the FML about 2 homeless guys, and generosity like yours and an apple. Still one of my favourites.

Healthy sandwich and then a fizzy drink? :(

#34 Fizzy drink? Oh noes, not my Perrier! You'll have to pry it from my cold, well hydrated hands! But yea, get a clue and call it what is, cause you didn't make a dumb comment like that about carbonation, toots.

#35 what the hell are you on about? You do realise that in some countries/regions they refer to sodas as fizzy drinks? Where I'm from we call them soft drinks or cool drinks. There's no need to be such a dick just because she used a term that's unfamiliar to you

36 she said that because there are "fizzy drinks" which are not at all bad for you. Kinda like calling all soda "coke". It's misleading and incorrect.

OP will do the same next time...he will take the homeless to bar and buy him drinks...

In the uk we call "soda" fizzy drinks. "Soda" is not a term used here, it's probably american/austrailian.

You took a chance, and you were let down. Honesty is the best policy and he was rewarded for it.

You shouldn't feel bad at least you helped him achieve his goal for the day, way to go teamwork!

At least he was honest. I reward honesty. No shame in that OP. What he does after you offer help is on him

You don't go to the big city much, do you? Next time if you see a homeless guy with a sign like that, just buy him a sandwich.

I worked a restaurant in a Canadian resort town when I was a teenager. We had a tip jar, and tried several signs. TIPS worked ok. TIPPING IS NOT A RIVER IN CHINA worked better. But the tips really started to flow in when we changed the sign to BEER MONEY.

That made me literally LOL. I'll have to try that, now!
