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

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

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.

I hope she feels like a real jackass now.

She's grieving the loss of her daughter. Why would you want her to feel even worse?

Why on earth would you take it upon yourself to mess with someone's memorial? The original teddy bear most likely belonged to the girl who died and had sentimental value to those mourning her. You had no right to try to replace it with some storebought toy that wouldn't hold as much meaning to them.

Read the FML again. The teddy bear had fallen from its place and the OP was just trying to put it back.

People...calm down, those of you thinking he swapped it out. Sometimes it is phrased "replaced" when you are putting something back in its ORIGINAL spot. This, which is most likely the case, means OP said they put it back on its spot in the memorial after it fell to the ground: he just picked it up.

Read it properly before you go off on a rant. The girls bear had fallen and OP was putting it back on the memorial.

Leaving things like teddy bears is the dumbest idea for this very reason. You KNOW someone will steal it sooner or later. Just leave flowers and be done with it. Eff your ell, indeed.

Because flowers will NEVER get stolen...

Soo many people are over reactive. She should have at least asked you what you were doing before hitting you.. I'd report her.

You'd report a grieving mother for reacting when she thought someone was trying to steal from her daughter's memorial? Losing a child is bound to put you on edge. Have a little sympathy.

Unfortunately for you, timing is everything. She was probably over acting. Hope you were able to explain.

People in this world need to stop being so damn quick to judge!

sometimes not all good deeds reciprocate back to you. it may be reciprocate back to your children, your family and loved ones. don't be disheartened, the world needs people like you to make it better

Did you at least explain what you where doing? That usually helps, especially if you're good at talking to people.
