Today, I went in the diner I always pass by and ordered a sandwich. When I asked how much it was, the waitress replied, "Don't worry, honey. We give free meals to the homeless on Thursdays." I was too ashamed to deny it, so I just said thank you and left. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I walked home from work when a woman asked me to come inside for a free meal. It was at a homeless shelter. 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 asking for money for food. Not wanting to give him money so he'd spend it on booze, I decided to buy him a full big mac meal from McDonalds. When I went to hand it to him, he quickly waved his hand, denying it saying, "Thanks but I'm a vegetarian". FML
Today, I cut my nice and tasty home-made sandwich in half to give to a homeless man. He tasted it, pulled an unimpressed face, and then stuck it in his pocket. FML
Today, I helped a lady carry her grocery bags to her car. She was so grateful that she offered me a tip. I refused, but she insisted. When I finally took it, I looked at the bill to see she'd given me $1. I smiled and said thank you, but she looked at me like I’d just robbed her. FML
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 decided to buy a meal for a homeless man who was being shunned at an intersection. When I went to hand it to him, I realized it was my dad, wearing a tattered old shirt and pretending to be homeless to make some money. FML
Today, I went to a new deli in town. While waiting in line, I hadn't made up my mind on what to order, so I let the guy behind me go instead. Turns out he was the hundredth customer, and they gave him his lunch for free. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least you got free food. I would gladly be insulted to get food.

I'd be too busy stuffing my face with the free food to be bothered about people thinking I was a homeless person.

What a waste of a first comment.

Free sammiges are alwaya good.

"I'm on a drug called Charlie Sheen!" That dude is hilarious when he's all cracked out. But seriously, OP, you got free food. You didn't come straight out saying "I'm homeless, please feed me", she made an assumption and you ended up getting the better end of the deal. Maybe you have a new restaurant to go to on Thursdays! Free food for life(only onThursdays)!

They'd think I was too skinny and give me a free full course meal.

I'd be too ashamed to NOT deny it. It's a pity you took free food under the pretence of being homeless.

This is absolutely true. One less homeless person got a free sandwich; someone who needed it much more desperately.
bluehero 17
It's not his fault they said that, if I was insulted of it I'd keep the free meal!

I can see why Op didn't want to say anything.

You have a point #6 but it must have been embarrassing. There's no harm done if it is just a one time thing. It would have been a different story if it was done on purpose.

#13 - I doubt they have a quota and cut off homeless person number 5. "Sorry! We only give out 4 sandwiches a day!" What this means is the store is out $1.50 in raw materials. I know store owners like this, they don't have a set number of sandwiches behind the counter for this. They just comp certain people.

This makes me wonder what about you made you look homeless...

If OP is "homeless" ... how is this post on fml ? Makes me wonder about the truth :o

Not all homeless people are devoid of technology. Libraries, Internet cafes, friends with an internet connection, etc.
