Today, I won $50 on the lottery. On the subway home, I checked my pocket to see if the money was still there. A very professional man in a suit yelled, "Hey, that's mine!" I got several dirty glares. I'm such a pathetic wimp that I gave him the money. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a scratcher lottery ticket, scratched it in the store, and won $5,000! I screamed and danced around. The guy next to me shoved me over, yanked the ticket from my hands, and tore ass out the door. The cops couldn't find him. FML
Today, I found a wallet on the train. I called the owner, who said he would come around and pick it up. When he finally did, he looked inside and screamed that his money was missing, and that I was a dirty thief. I never took a cent. He's filing theft charges against me. 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 through a rich part of the city and saw 2 dollars on the ground. I didn't pick it so people wouldn't think I was poor. FML
Today, I went to a carnival. While walking around with my cousin, I saw a one hundred dollar bill on the ground. Just before I stepped on it, a man grabbed it. His words? "Don't you just hate it when that happens?" And he walked away. FML
Today, I won $5000 dollars from a lottery ticket and tried giving the man next to me a high five. He had no hands. FML
Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML
Today, I went to get a scratch off lottery ticket, and the dude in front of me got the same one I was going to get. He won 500 dollars. I got 2 bucks. FML
Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML
Today, while coming out of Walmart, I dropped a $50 bill. Some kid came running up after me yelling, "Hey mister, you dropped this!" as he ran past me laughing. FML

YDI for complaining about losing the money when it was your choice to keep it or give it away.

That's why you don't pull money out on the subway. You kind of deserve this one, although I can see your point completely.

OP is making bad decisions left and right. First he gives his wifi password to his manager that hates him and then this. Next he is gonna get a fish and his cat is gonna eat it :/

I bet even the guy you gave the money to was surprised his stupid outburst actually resulted in getting the money.

Ppfff.. What a pussy! Stand up for yourself OP!

Gee, maybe op has social anxiety.
free2speak 14
44, exactly! As a neurobiology student, I read clinical cases all the time where people are socially awkward and genuinely afraid of people in social settings and it's honestly really sad. They tend to be bullied throughout their life (school, career) and people often make jokes on their expense and they're so lonely, they start regarding both negative or positive attention as sign of friendship. Not saying that OP has that but what if he does? We should all be pretty thankful that we turned out as "normal" as we did. I'm sorry, OP. fortunately, we live in a world where you can seek medical help and therapy (or just karate classes!) if you have any kind of anxiety or if you're afraid in public.

I still say YDI. I imagine OP would mention his social anxiety, which would be pretty important to this FML.

@44 I do too! I still wouldn't give him the money! OPs just a wimp like he said he was.

And here was my dumbass actually working for money when I could've been getting it this easily the whole time. Kudos to that guy for showing me the way.

Yeah, how do you think he got the suit? ;)
capslockisgood 19
He told them someone was his and they took off their clothes?

Man in the suit? Did the person of interest change his mind after all and started to rob wimps in the subway?

His name is Reese. John Reese.

Is it weird that I was thinking the same thing?

YDI for not having a backbone! I would of told him to shut it because it was my money. Who cares about the looks that other people are giving you. It was rightfully your money.

I wouldn't be surprised if the glares from other people weren't even glares. I mean, if some random idiot on a train yelled at another person that the money in the person's pocket was "really their's", I'd probably think the person who was yelling was just being crazy or an asshole. I doubt this is the weirdest or most glare-worthy thing that people have seen on the subway.
