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 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.

To be honest, this seems fake. Even if a homeless woman(person who tends not to eat as much, and thus tends to be weaker) could beat up a 6'2" guy, the chances he knew she was exactly 5'0" is unlikely. Maybe if this said 5ish foot woman, or something, but the way it was posted seems fishy

@48 I'd say 5'0" if I thought she was around 5 footish. Now I'd think it was fake if he said she was 5'2-1/2" or something damn specific. Plus it doesn't take much to beat someone up. If he was looking at his wallet you can get sucker punched a number of ways that would knock you out cold.
