Today, a homeless man asked me for some change. Not having any cash, I gave him a gift card for the restaurant I work at. When I got home I realized I gave him my credit card. FML

op here. it's always cool when your FML gets posted because in a weird way it makes the situation a little bit better lol. just some clarification, i started this job a little over a month ago and when i went to the orientation, they gave us $15 dollar gift cards. it was after a 9 hour shift when this sweet old man asked for some change. i remembered i had this gift card in my wallet for a month now and figured he would benefit from it more than i would. i was tired and it was dark outside, but i should have payed more attention. once i realized this mistake i quickly went back to my work, and luckily he was still there. he was very sweet and figured i handed him the wrong card, i gave him the right card and now everyones happy. i'm just glad it was him because god knows what any other person would have done with it.

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

We all are a little air-headed at times, but that's a bit much.

That's awesome that you were able to get that worked out and that he was honest enough to realize the mistake and not take advantage of it. l Definitely restores some faith in humanity for me. :)

At least you were trying to be nice, but you should have double checked. Just cancel it asap and hope he didn't use it too much.

I don't understand the YDI that you are getting. You tried to do a good deed. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

No one is suggesting that the OP deserves it because he or she had good intentions. Good intentions and charity are not the qualities that led to the situation the OP finds himself or herself in. What led to this outcome was a lack of attention to detail. People should expect to face consequences for not paying attention.

How could you not check before you gave it away?
