Today, I stopped to replace a stuffed bear that had fallen from a small memorial for a girl killed nearby. Her mom happened to walk by and thought I was stealing it. She hit me with her purse. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while walking my dog in a cemetery, she stole a stuffed animal off a child's grave and began to play with it. FML
Today, someone thought it would be funny to steal the precious stuffed bear I've had since childhood and leave a ransom note in its place. 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, at the local mini-mart, I saw an old friend from high school and decided to surprise her with a hug from behind. Turns out, it wasn't her. It was a complete stranger who screamed, then whacked me with her purse. Now I’m banned from the shop. FML
Today, I went to the movies. After it was over I got up and noticed a designer purse sitting on the ground in the back row. I opened it to look for anything that could give me a address so I could return it. The owner came back, assumed I was robbing her, and punched me in the nose. FML
Today, I was at the store when I saw that a cart in the checkout line next to me was starting to roll away and the owner hadn't noticed. I tried to help by reaching out to stop the cart from moving, but when the owner saw me with the cart, she began to hit me for trying to steal her purse. 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
Today, I was out shopping when an old lady bumped into me and dropped her purse. Trying to help, I bent over to pick it up, at which point she battered the shit out of me, called me a "filthy thief" and threatened to open an umbrella in my ass. What the fuck has the world come to? 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, I got mugged by someone wearing a bear suit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sometimes I feel that even if you can do something good, but there is a chance you will get in trouble, DON'T DO IT.

People often jump into conclusions too quickly.

I wonder how long trinkets and things are expected to stay there before the groundskeepers round them all up? I know you weren't trying to steal the bear but suppose the mom showed up when they were removing old stuff?

I am assuming this isn't a cemetery, rather one of those roadside memorials with like, a cross, balloons, flowers, etc ... Probably killed in some car accident or something similar.

I would beat you with a purse too, but, for your grammar

Not to be a dick, but you have improper use of commas in your sentence.

I understand that the mother is in grief over her daughter's death, but you don't need to just jump to conclusions.

That's unfortunate and well done for doing the right thing and picking it up I hope she understood when you explained

Maybe the owner didn't want the bear replaced? After all, it could have a memento, and those are irreplaceable. For all we know, the bear could have been the child's play toy before death.

I'm pretty sure OP meant replaced as in 'putting it back where it originally was after it fell' rather than an actual new bear.
