Today, I came across a street musician. He looked extremely well-fed already, but his music was pretty good, so I gave him some spare change. As soon as I turned away, he started screaming at me for being "cheap", and chased me half a block before running out of breath. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent hours playing my guitar and singing in the street, hoping to make some extra cash. About 3 hours in, I realized some punk had been walking around with a hat taking money as if he was with me. FML
Today, I passed a homeless person asking for change. When I politely apologized and told him that I had none, he yelled angrily, "Who comes to this city without money?" I replied, "Apparently, you do." Wrong answer. He followed me, now screaming. 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
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, as I was coming out of McDonald's, there was a street musician playing outside. He had his saxophone case open for money. I meant to give him a ten, and it wasn't until I got home later that I realized I'd accidentally given him a hundred-dollar bill. FML
Today, I was sitting in the park eating a sandwich, when a homeless guy asked me for some spare change. I said I didn't have any. He offered an "erotic striptease" in exchange for my sandwich. I said no. He gave one anyway. I walked back to work on an empty stomach. FML
Today, a homeless man asked me for some money to eat. He ate the five dollars I gave him. FML
Today, I saw a homeless man on the street and decided to give him the dollar bill I had left in my wallet. He said "Thank you" then as I turned to walk away, he muttered "Cheap-ass cunt". FML
Today, I was outside, eating a sandwich, when I noticed a homeless man was standing in front of me. Upon making eye contact, he grabbed the rest of my sandwich and ran off. FML
Today, on the way home, a guy yelled "Hey, YOU!" from behind me, so I walked faster. He ran up to me, shouting, "I said stop, asshole!" I almost pissed myself in fear, thinking I was being mugged. Turns out I'd left my wallet at the grocery store, and he was just trying to return it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

at least you were thoughtful enough to give him something in the first place! he should have been thankful.

Good thing he was 'extremely' well fed, if he was skinnier he may have caught you.

someone needs to tell him beggars can't be choosers

I might be messed up for saying this, but wouldn't it be funny if someone took the change while he was chasing you? This would teach him to be grateful for what he has.

today, I was working my job as a street musician. some dbag tipped me a number of cents and I chased after him, only to find the entire contents of my tip jar empty when I returned. FML.

Damn. I would've asked for the money back then. He should've said thanks and been done with it.

Maybe you can ask when he's done chasing you.

Are you canadian, perchance OP?

given that it says "United Kingdom" on the top of the fml, i would asume not.

I'm St. Lucian living in America, people migrate. His comment is valid independently, but it is a reference to an earlier FML about an OP fishing for tips from a Canadian man.

I'd have rammed his head through the wall and taken every tip he had...and I'm a musician.

Street musicians are punks.

Street musicians aren't homeless or beggars, they need to buy a permit to busk, and where I'm from they are generally college students that do music courses and homeless people wouldn't tend to own an instrument. YDI for being such an idiot and assuming he's either homeless or busking is his only source of income.

Amen to that!

it's the thought that counts OP, I'm sure you're one of the few who took a moment to acknowledge his music. good on you, it's unfortunate he had to be rude about it.
