Today, as I spent my last $6 on groceries, the woman at the register gave me a dirty look because I declined to donate $1 to a children's charity. My six year-old son immediately chimed in with, "Mommy, why aren't you helping the poor children?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the cashier asked if I wanted to donate $1 to help hungry children. I said, “Not today, thank you.” The man behind me loudly said, “Wow…” Now everyone thinks I hate children. I'm just that broke. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my mom, when I saw a little pamphlet about a charity for abused children. I showed her and said I was going to donate a few dollars. She quickly said no, calling it a waste of money and muttering that the kids probably deserved it anyway. FML
Today, a customer gave me the dirtiest look ever and muttered, "Goody two-shoes prick" after I asked if he'd like to donate a few cents to charity. FML
Today, I was stopped at a light when a woman approached, asking for help to buy food. I told her I only had a dollar, but she could have it. After I gave it to her, she stepped back, held it up, then proceeded to tear it into pieces, before walking away while calling me a cheapskate. Really? FML
Today, I was cashiering, and a customer's change came to $5.51. She looked pretty stinking rich, so I just gave her $5.50. She demanded the extra penny, and I asked if she really needed it. She said, "No, but they do, asshole," and dropped her $5.51 in the charity donation box. FML
Today, I helped a 6 year-old boy who was left alone at a store to get back home. The kid's parents were grateful, but my mother cussed me out and called me stupid for helping the kid. No good dead goes unpunished. FML
Today, my daughter admitted to me that the only reason she's nice to me is because I give her money. She's six. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping, feeling good about myself, until when I was waiting in line at the checkout, a small kid in his mother's arms in front turned to look straight at me and said, "Ewwwww." FML
Today, an elderly woman couldn't afford all of her groceries at the checkout so she started to take out a few things. I offered to pay for her groceries; she thanked me and walked out. An onlooker then came up to me and told me that she does it to someone every week. FML
Today, in a supermarket, my four-year-old son whispered to me, asking if the checkout lady was able to wash between her fat rolls. She heard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't worry about the woman. She's a bitch. You didn't have to donate if you didn't want to. You could have just told your kid that was the last of your money.

People are so rude. You can't donate to everyone especially when you don't have spare change.

felixshen, you are an ass, it's not the governments job to do the work that your to lazy and selfish to do.

the government is there to serve the people, and so if there are people who can't find a job and have no money then the government should support them. you're not gonna turn into communists by helping those in need.

^You, my not friend, are obviously a democrat. Let me chime in with a Republican's opinion. If you were rich and went poor, well then your fault, you deserved it for wasting all your cash on pointless shit.

I know that just bs. if the grocery store wanted they could donate some of their own money instead of asking for people to pay extra. besides she is a charity case.

I agree with you 100% chaos. I don't even give to charities ever when I check out anymore because of the Susan B Komen foundation and their tricky money stealing ways. lol

How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read if they can't even fit inside the building?

Wow what if you had 6$ left and the options were 1. Feed your family for a day 2. Donate to the children and not eat???? Geez idiot

I'd have to say that your son is right. when you get back in the cash go to the same clerk and donate $10. then say "shove it up your ass!" to her.

I hate the guilt they throw at you about those things. If I want to donate to a cause, I'll do it directly. Not through some donation jar that could very well be swiped. Fuhohohoho...look at me...a common thief talking about these things. I'm so tired...

Mirobo, go to sleep. Your comments make you sound like you're a zombie.

Fuhohoho...very well then, darling, very well... It's not a good idea to be up oh-so late anyways. It throws off my groove!~ Nighty night!~

Whatever, you need the money to feed you and your family. Next time you get an extra dollar or two, then donate.

Ehh, I'd say that next time the OP gets an extra dollar or two, that she should either save it, or give her son a nice treat. Perhaps a soft serve off the dollar menu?
