Today, a man pulled a knife on me just so he could mug me of the cigarette I was smoking. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, a man tried to mug me. I actually apologized to him for not having my wallet on me. FML

Today, a man in a hurry asked me for a light. Not being able to find my lighter amongst the muddle inside my handbag, I handed him my lit cigarette so he could light his. He took it from me, started smoking it and walked off. FML

Today, I was walking down the street in the dark, and the woman in front of me kept looking back nervously. I jokingly assured her that I wasn't a mugger. She then took out a knife and mugged me. FML

Today, a total stranger asked me to marry him while we were waiting for the bus. I turned him down. He then pulled a knife on me, grabbed my purse and ran. FML
irony, huh?

Leg it
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML

Today, some guy on the street threatened to stab me. I called his bluff, and walked away. He wasn't bluffing. FML

Today, I gave a man a cigarette. He spent the rest of the day so far following me around, telling me all about his medical history, and chasing after me when I got too far away. I couldn't get rid of him for hours. FML

Thanks, dude
Today, I was late to work and couldn't get my gas tank open. Panicking, I asked the only person around to help me who happened to be a very large man. He was able to open it for me and seemed really nice. That is until he pulled out a knife and robbed me. FML

Great timing
Today, I got mugged. As the guys who took my purse were about to walk away, my cellphone rang in my pocket. FML

We all have our own addictions but I've always gotten a laugh out of people trying to defend the cigarette, trying to justify doing it is a bit sad....just my opinion.

I get what you're saying. It is sad because cigarette smokers are defending something that harms them. But I also believe this is a false contradiction: they are in fact defending themselves, and it is also sad that they should -- the motivation needed for quitting a bad habit or addiction involves getting your s**t together, which only gets more difficult to accomplish if you're being constantly scolded, even by strangers (who not only feel they have the right to, but also argue that they're trying to help). I'm not saying it should be approved of at all, but, as it is, saying to a smoker they are "such losers" for having become addicted in the first place is not making him any more confident to overcome it. And it is impossible, as we all know, to break any bad habit without confidence and strength. Perhaps empathy might do a lot better than criticism, however well-intentioned it may be. This also applies to many other subjects... (Sorry for the long comment! Here's a potato! -> 0)

Switzerland, the only nation where you won't be robbed of pocket change and getting rich just takes a phone call to a Swiss bank.
