Today, I saw an elderly man fall in a crosswalk, so I jumped off my bike to help. As I helped him across, the light turned green. I then watched across a 6 lane street as someone stole my bike. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw an elderly woman in need of help of crossing a street. I helped her across. On the way she just about fell and held onto me to keep from hitting the ground. After she left on her bus I reached for my wallet. It was gone. I had just been robbed by a 70 year old. FML
Today, I was riding my bike to work in a hurry and hit a pothole. I flew off and hit the ground hard. I was badly shaken, but an old lady came over, checked me out and helped me to my feet. After she left the scene, I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet while "helping" me. FML
Today, I was on my bike. As I'm rolling through an intersection, some asshat in a pickup runs the red light and hits me. Instead of getting out and helping me, the guy hops out, takes a look at me lying in the street, steals my hat and drives off. That was my favorite hat. FML
Today, while riding my bike on the sidewalk, I came across a ladder. To avoid bad luck, I swerved around it into the street. I got hit by a car. FML
Today, I was was leaving the library when I noticed an elderly woman being mugged. I was about to leave on my bike, but promptly went to help her. After I managed to scare off the mugger, I helped her to her car. As I was heading back to my bike, I notice the mugger riding off on it. FML
Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML
Today, my bike was stolen. These things happen, so I went to work. On my walk to work, a girl pulls up on my bike and says I needed to fix the brakes, someone could kill themselves. She hands the bike to me and runs off. Not even 3 minutes pass before police surrounded me and accused me of stealing my own bike. FML
Today, I saw an elderly man struggling to make it across a busy street. I jumped up from my table at Starbucks to help him, leaving my things behind. When I got back to my table feeling good, I found that my coffee had disappeared. So had my wallet. FML
Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML
Today, when I crossed the street, I almost died because of a careless driver, but when I crossed it again on my way back, I got hit by a bicycle. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Altruism is selfless concern for the welfare of others. Take comfort in the fact that the reward for your deed is internal. Externally your phone and your bike were only material objects which can be replaced.

#37 hit it. This is how thieves operate. The phone part is clearly not planned but still... However, assuming it was NOT planned, then people are just jerks. Honestly, I bet the drivers would have just as well run the old man over if you didn't help him. That's how people are.

Sorry man, that sucks! At least your heart was in the right place and you don't have to feel guilty for not helping the old man. But next time, I guess you'll be sure to bring your bike with you, eh? :/ Maybe talk to your service provider and see if they'll replace your phone?

Wow, this is the best FML on the site. I don't mean in a good way, but it's what 51 said, it's 100% FML. But you're a really good person, take pride in that. People suck, they really do. I can't believe someone stole your bike. Why wouldn't anyone in the cars help?? Wtf??? Why didn't anyone stop that dude from stealing your bike?? There's no goodness left in the world!

If I were driving across an intersection, I wouldn't stop on the off chance that the bike on one side belonged to the guy on the other. Just saying

"There's no goodness left in the world." Do you really think that? You do realize your comment was in response to OP being ****** over while doing some "GOODNES"?

It's karma. Clearly the guy you helped was a serial killer or something.
