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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, while walking down the street, a homeless man walked up to me. He opened his mouth to say something and I immediately said that I didn't have any spare change because I was late for work. He then said "I was gonna ask you for the time, dickwad". Apparently he wasn't homeless. FML
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
Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML
Today, while I was walking home, a homeless man saw me and didn't ask for change, but how much I charged. FML
Today, a homeless man asked me for some money to eat. He ate the five dollars I gave him. 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 tried to give some change to a homeless man. My girlfriend pulled me away and ranted about how homeless people are all basically bastards who deserve their misfortune, and that I shouldn't give "our" money away. FML
Today, I was accosted by an angry homeless man at the recycling center, since I refused to give him my saved up bottles and cans. He insisted that he needed it more and I was "poaching his turf". I needed the recycling to put gas in my car, just to make it to work and hope I could make it back home. 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

I applaud your snappy comeback! I bet I'd have said the same thing, I mean, what right does a homeless man have to complain about people having no money to give him?

I heard that homeless people in prime locations can make up to $50,000 a year.

How do you say "who comes to this city without money?" and "apparently, you do." in Korean?

#27 - if you have issues with a crazy korean just yell out MITCHINAM OP - you rock!

You could say something like :"Noo Goo dohn ohp shi yeo gee aeh wah?" for "who comes here without money?" and "neo ha nun geos eo ro bo yeo jee" for "apparently you do". Please forgive the terrible transliteration, and also for Koreans out there, I'm sure there are better ways to say both. However, being a military Korean linguist, I'm not too good with informal speech. :/

Ha, you're right! it's also apparently really bad to say "byeong shin" or "ba bo ka tun nom". Even if a Korean local were to make me angry through, I wouldn't blatantly insult them- makes the other military personnel look bad.

YDI... but that doesn't mean it wasn't funny. Don't feel bad for it, that's pretty awesome.

are you JOKING? Not only are there homeless people, there are homeless people with severe injuries and deformities like you never see in the US.

This was in Seoul, and it was a fellow American. Not sure how he ended up homeless and in Korea, but either way, it was pretty random.
