Today, an old lady fell in the street, and I rushed to help her. As I tried to help her to her feet, she started screaming, "She pushed me! She pushed me!" I froze up in shock, and ended up being chased by some guy who thought I'd attacked her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw a little old lady trying to cross the street. I went over and tried to help her. Turned out she was actually just a really short young woman. As soon as I took her arm, she screamed in front of everyone and accused me of trying to molest her. FML
Today, I saw a woman being mugged. I ran up to help and pushed the guy off of her. She then punched me in the face and called the cops because she was, "just living out a fantasy" and I'm, "a lunatic for trying to help." FML
Today, I bumped into a lady, apologised and tried to continue on. She screamed assault and tried to citizen's arrest me. I've got better things to do, so I ignored her but she latched onto my leg like a toddler. I ended up dragging this insane woman up the street until she finally let go. FML
Today, I saw an elderly lady fall over in the street. Nobody bothered to do anything, so I went over and helped her up. Instead of thanking me, she called me a pervert and slapped me around with her cane. FML
Today, I was walking out of the train station when an old man grabbed me. I started screaming, yelling, "HELP" like a madwoman and tried pushing him away - that's when I saw the golf cart rush past me. He was trying to push me aside from getting run over. Everyone started laughing. FML
Today, I saw a lady who had fainted. I ran over to help, only to find out that she was unstable and had a knife in her hand. She was pointing it at me, and growled threateningly every time I tried to move away. It took the cops an hour to defuse the situation. FML
Today, I witnessed an elderly lady getting mugged. I ran over to the guy mugging her and offered him the money in my wallet in return for him leaving her alone. The old lady snatched my money and ran away with the mugger. What the hell just happened? FML
Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML
Today, I was at the supermarket when I saw an elderly lady slip on a wet patch of floor. I ran over to help, and I almost fell too before steadying myself. Then some pimply cockmunch of a teen decided to kick my legs out from under me and walk away while laughing his balls off. FML
Today, a car hit me. I didn't get hurt, but someone called 911. The old woman who had hit me got out of the car with no problem to look at me, and gets back into the car. When the police arrive, she pulls out crutches and said I made strange faces and made her hit me. I got blamed. FML

Haven't you learned from this site to never trust an old person?

fall on her own, that is.

I don't think that really matters when you have a guy who didn't see her fall chasing after you.

Never said I was right, just possible.

That sucks, OP. Old people can be pretty ornery.

Am i wrong for kind of wishing OP did push her afterwards? Yeah it's mean, but so is the old lady. Might teach her not to do those things to people who just want to her.

is this by any chance the old lady from madagascar?

Old people can say the darnedest things

I was going to say evil but your word choice is probably more popular.

Sometimes old people suck... At least you were trying to be helpful. :/

Damn, I had that exact same thought!

Why in the hell......

Probably had some sort of dementia and didn't realize she was so full of shit.

"Oh, you fell down and broke your hip? I'm sorry I didn't help, a satire website had stories about particular people that were horrible, so I decided to generalise all old people." You sound ridiculous #9.

13, if she had done that, she wouldn't have been in this situation.

If the woman fell down and was hurt badly... And OP didn't "trust" her, she could've been seriously hurt, with prolonged pain.

But here in America, when you try to help someone, they sue you for injuries they got while being saved from death, or lie on you. I was usually quick to help, but when someone turned around and tried to make money off of my cousin because he hurt them while trying to save their life (if he wasn't there, the person would have been dead) I became more hesitant. If I'm going to go out of my way to help you, and you sue or lie on me, I don't see the point. If I don't get involved, I can't be held accountable for you, and you can't sue me, but you die, or I help you, you live, but you sue me... I don't see how getting sued or lied on benefits me, so I'd be the one calling 911, then walking away so I don't get stuck in court trying to justify saving some stranger's life while being on the verge of losing the roof over my head because I'm unable to make rent, because I saved someone's life and they sued me. Plus, I may do more harm than good if I tried.

actually theres a good samaritan law. ex: you do cpr n break someones rib, they cant touch you bc you were ultimately saving a life.

#35 may be cynical, and I try to help where I can, but I agree with her in the case of drunk unstable girls. If you don't know where they came from, and don't know how they got hurt or why they are crying, guys, get a third party. I had an experience where I thank God that I had a friend one night trying to help a drunk friend of a friend. Long story short she cried sexual assault on us and two other guys that night. We had just walked her home, nothing more, but it was our word against hers. In the end we were vindicated but it was still scary as hell and some people don't look at us the same. ALWAYS HAVE A THIRD PARTY PRESENT GUYS.

I'm sorry that happened to you 45. It makes me mad when women do that considering there are millions of other women who sexually assaulted and her actions are one of the many reasons many victims don't come forward and report.

Sometimes I wonder if they do stuff like this for entertainment..

well some of them are a few years away from kicking the bucket, so they might as well do some crazy things before it happens.

That's why I just watch and record

That's really not a statement that should be used with a holier-than-thou attitude.

It was kind of you to step in and help, I hope you got the story all cleared up after OP

Better that, than the old woman falling down and breaking bones and falling unconscious. Looks like she was alright!

Would've been okay for OP though...
