Today, I helped an elderly woman carry her suitcase down a flight of stairs. When I got to the bottom, a man tackled me to the ground thinking I was stealing the woman's luggage. As I lay in pain, he ran up the stairs to return the suitcase and the poor woman had to carry it down on her own. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at the airport baggage collection when I saw an old man struggling to get his very old and heavy suitcase off the belt before giving up. I had already collected my bag, but wanting to be helpful, the old man watched me as I grabbed his handle, yanked and snapped it clean off. FML
Today, I was boarding a plane and an elderly woman asked if I could put her carry on into the overhead bin. Eager to help, I energetically lifted her bag up, and smacked her in the face with it. FML
Today, I was walking through a rough part of town, when a woman screamed that I'd stolen her bag. I was tackled to the ground by a large guy, who then gave my bag to her. FML
Today, while at the airport with a cast on my leg, I fell backwards onto my suitcase. My family was too busy to notice my squirming as I tried to get up, so a kind woman awkwardly helped me off the ground. Later on, I found out my dad saw me but thought someone would help me "soon enough." FML
Today, I was at the airport when I saw a woman drop her bags and run to her husband. Thinking that someone might steal them, I picked up her bags and brought them over to her. She thanked me by slapping me, calling me a bitch and calling security. FML
Today, I saw an old man struggling with three bags, so I offered to carry them for him. He must not have heard me because when I bent down to take the bags, he thought I was stealing them and punched me in the face. FML
Today, I was working as a cashier and a woman brought up a suitcase. As I was ringing her up I checked inside like I'm supposed to and I very jokingly say, "Look at all the stuff you're stealing." She laughed nervously then hit me in the head with her heavy purse before running out of the store. FML
Today, an old lady fell in the street, and I rushed to help her. As I tried to help her to her feet, she started screaming, "She pushed me! She pushed me!" I froze up in shock, and ended up being chased by some guy who thought I'd attacked her. FML
Today, I was on a tram and I noticed an older lady having trouble getting down the stairs. I immediately got up to help her, dropping my bag on the seat accidentally. As I went to get back on the tram, the doors closed. 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

Don't even attempt to help her cross the road then. You may not live through the experience.

No unpunished deed goes good.

well technically an unpunished deed does go good because it is a deed you are not punished for.

I honestly thought this sort of stuff only happened in cartoons.

Sadly, both. Especially simultaneously.

If the old lady was still up the stairs why did the man not think the suitcase was yours? And could the lady not, at some point yell out, "hey, he is helping me, not stilling from me"?

For one, the OP is a she not a he.

OK, replace "he" with "she". Now, what's #2?

Also, since the lady wasn't yelling for help or looking distressed, why assume it was being stolen? I would assume OP was the lady's neighbour or family member and was helping her out, if not that the suitcase belonged to OP herself.

No stilling. She was refining the alcohal out of the suitcase.

That’s distilling.

Sometimes I wonder why some people are so paranoid they feel the need to instantly tackle people... I don't think you're going to be moving very fast carrying luggage. So why not just confront you instead of resorting to violence?

No, actually the lady should have told him he made a mistake, then make him carry the bag and help the OP after apologizing for being a well-intentioned idiot.
