Today, at work, a homeless woman called me trash, threw her coffee at me, and told me to get a job. I do have a job. It's homeless outreach. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got told I was a bitch because I wouldn’t let a homeless man dig through my dumpster at work, even though he was hungry. We don’t even sell food. I work at a sex store. FML
Today, at work, a woman screamed at me and called me a bitch because I refused to refund something we give away for free. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, I walked home from work when a woman asked me to come inside for a free meal. It was at a homeless shelter. FML
Today, while volunteering at a local homeless shelter, I asked the woman next to me how long she'd been homeless. She works there. FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, a homeless guy told me I looked like shit and to have some self-respect. Right. FML
Today, I was accosted by an angry homeless man at the recycling center, since I refused to give him my saved up bottles and cans. He insisted that he needed it more and I was "poaching his turf". I needed the recycling to put gas in my car, just to make it to work and hope I could make it back home. FML
Today, I was texting at work when my manager walked in. I quickly dropped my phone in the garbage to avoid trouble. Since I was working so hard, she decided to do me a favor and throw the trash out for me. FML
Today, I woke up to a homeless man relentlessly shitting on my porch. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe it's just an issue of pride. She probably doesn't want your help or, as she may think of it, your pity.

I know ppl like that. some homeless go crazy and lose a sense of humanity from being n da streets for so long and barely speaking to ppl all day. don't take it personally

Actually moetero, most homeless people do not "go crazy" from living on the streets, there is usually an underlining mental health concern long before they become homeless.

I work in a shelter for homeless and/or abuse women and their children. I can sympathize that it isn't an easy clientele to work with, but you have to factor in life circumstances to understand actions. Mental health is a huge contributing factor chronic homelessness, and the client in your FML probably has (un)diagnosed mental health. You have a job, which probably means you have a safe place of living. Your life is not an FML, if anything the homeless woman's is, especially with the negative and often inaccurate perspectives people have towards the homeless.

I feel you OP. Mostly he or she didn't realized you're helping them like everyone who does, is to makes sure they get help they needs. Food in their stomaches, clothes on the back, blanket to keep warm, they should appreciate what given to them, or else, they starved and freeze to death. What's even sadder is that homeless have children with them, due to loss of job, home, and no where to go or get help. What's worst, I know a couples on verge of homeless, they both diabetics and have no money to pay for medicine, not even a welfare help them because "they make too much", the house mortgage cost more than their unemployment incomes they're getting.

This is why I prefer Canada. I'm diabetic and I do have to pay for my own medications since I don't have insurance, but I can get assistance from a number of medical programs that allow me access to free insulin. I get free glucometers and insulin pens from the Diabetes Education Centre. I end up in the hospital a fair bit due to diabetic seizures, which is another reason why Canada rocks. It doesn't cost me anything. I had a seizure in the States once and the paramedics refused to take me to the hospital. I had even bought medical insurance for the trip but since I didn't call the insurance company and get an ambulance approved (which would have been amazing since I was unconscious) they told me to just "walk it off".

Irony?

All that matters is that you understand the good you are doing for these people, the opinion/actions of a homeless person should be taken with a grain of salt. Either that or get a career so you don't have to deal with that rubbish anymore.
