Today, I spotted a $100 bill on the ground. Being a little strapped for cash, I excitedly picked it up. I discovered it was one of those religious tract papers made to look like a folded bill, with a message scolding me for being greedy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I thought I saw a $100 bill in the bushes. It was, in fact, just a cleverly folded pamphlet for some church or something. I spent 10 minutes digging through leaves for nothing. 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 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, I found a $10 bill on the ground. I got so excited and felt like I was the richest person alive. That was, until the wind blew it out of my hand, never to be seen again. 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 was emptying a bag of grass from my lawn mower when I saw pieces of what used to be a 50 dollar bill. 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 spotted a $20 bill on the ground. As I bent down to pick it up, the wind blew it away. I ended up running after it like a cartoon character, only to watch it get stuck up a tree. I did consider climbing up said tree, but with my luck I would've fallen off and had to pay 100 times more in hospital bills. FML
Today, I found a $20 bill on the ground, so I decided to pick it up. It was actually attached to a string and was meant to be a prank by some kids. They failed miserably, so I took the money. They ran up to me and punched me in the balls for taking their cash. FML
Today, I went out of my way to avoid street preachers thrusting hateful propaganda at me. A young woman ran up to me and started waving paper in my face, and I snapped at her to fuck off. Right afterwards I realised she was returning something that fell out of my pocket. She looked terrified. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well what if someone picked it up to return? Finding money isn't being greedy, better than letting it go to waste. Don't religious people have better things to do?

Those suck. I found one that said "don't get too excited, it's only 10 bucks"

That's totally ****ing rude. Who wouldn't pick money up, regardless of their motivation? Not to mention I can't think of a single religious denomination that doesn't accept cash handouts from its congregation.

Did it at least teach you how to pray and make money come to you?

What the ****? How would picking up $100 from the ground means that you're greedy? Technically, it has no owner. So it is yours for the taking. Whoever made that fake bill with that message should look in the dictionary what "greedy" actually means.

That's religion at its best right there.

You should go to their church and make a very generous donation of $100. When they take it and see it's just their own tract, say, "See how it feels?" Assholes.

It's not greedy to pick that up, your just picking up litter, helping the economy, saving a tree, and keeping the money out of the hands of a crack head. You did the right thing.

I guarentee if those "religious" people that made that dollar saw a $100 bill on the street they'd pick it up too. I'm not anti religious, but I can't stand close minded, holier than thou pricks like that.

I very strongly agree!

Kind of ironic considering how much money some church's have. I mean no one makes more money than Jesus.
