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

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

now im not saying all homeless people are like this, but this is the problem with society today. people are so ungrateful. probably half of the homeless people deserve being homeless because their either highschool dropouts, gamblers, addicts of some sorts, or just careless pricks who beg for money and then go spend it on booze and drugs.

I worked for a homeless shelter a few years ago and you're right Asario. The majority of the "clients" were assholes who were homeless because of poor choices they had made. Some were homeless because they had undiagnosed (or untreated) mental health issues. Some were homeless because they'd lost their jobs, they were the ones who worked hard NOT to be homeless ie. first in line at the job office, utilized training programs etc. THEY had my sympathy but the ones who drank and did drugs all day? No effing way. The only thing they are victims of is their own choices.

#40: I don't condone drug use, but sometimes drug use/drinking is a by-product of untreated mental health issues.

People need to look at the issue of homelessness on a macro level and work towards improving the quality and accessibility of services out there. Implement better strategies for staying in school, more programs aimed towards helping and increasing the lives of people who have addictions and/or mental health. Make welfare more easily accessible with more money available to an individual. Make safe and affordable housing more readily available. In the city I live in, the subsidized housing wait list for a homeless individual is 3+ years. Ontario Works (welfare) for a single person allots a mere $450(max) a month for housing with approximately $125 a month for personal needs. The only housing you can get for that amount is usually rooms for rent, in a drug and sex trade riddled neighborhood while the house/apartment is infested with bedbugs, cockroaches and rodents. How is that for quality of life? But then again, the individual always has the right to self-determination.

It's called projecting. This is how she feels about herself, not you.
