Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML
Money Money Money
Today, as I was coming out of McDonald's, there was a street musician playing outside. He had his saxophone case open for money. I meant to give him a ten, and it wasn't until I got home later that I realized I'd accidentally given him a hundred-dollar bill. FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She picked up a hundred dollars on the floor that somebody dropped. I told her, "I feel sorry for the retard who dropped the money." When I got home, I checked my purse and realized that I was missing a hundred dollars. FML
Broke
Today, I spotted a $100 bill on the ground. Being a little strapped for cash, I excitedly picked it up. I discovered it was one of those religious tract papers made to look like a folded bill, with a message scolding me for being greedy. FML
Today, a customer handed me a 100 dollar bill. He then told me that it was my tip for doing a good job. He snatched it away just as I touched it, laughed, and said, "Just kidding." He then took his money and left the store. FML
Grab it while you can
Today, I was walking through a rich part of the city and saw 2 dollars on the ground. I didn't pick it so people wouldn't think I was poor. FML
Drunken antics
Today, I put my paycheck in my wallet, intending to cash it in the next day. Later on, I met up with a friend and went to a party. I ended up getting so drunk, I gave away my $400 check in exchange for a pack of smokes, thinking it was a $5 bill. FML
Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML
Today, when I went to pay for my groceries, I accidentally handed the cashier a condom instead of my $20. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when a man behind me tapped me on the shoulder. He gave a $5 bill and said that he thought I had dropped it. Not having the integrity to turn him down, I took it. I spent the next 20 minutes being chased by a crazy hobo who claimed that it was his. FML

That homeless guy went on to become a famous entreprenuer.

I bet that guy felt good.. Like 100 bucks! But seriously, it's a good deed in a disguise. You could've really helped him out. :)

This fate could have been avoided if you lived in Canada :D We don't HAVE dollar bills here.
LilTiki559 13
yeaaaahh..No. most likely, he's gonna blow it on dope, cheep booze, and cheap bummy women.

Why did you use two different "cheap"s?

Because it is that beggar's lucky day

Because of their stupid currency!
cinderella10383 6
It's not about stupid money as we can clearly distinguish between the #1 and the #100 it's just the busy hustle and bustle here that makes us run around like a chicken with it's head cut off.. I like the look of our money here

Damn Canadian monopoly money.
urdirtyolduncle 15
Probably not.. But a lot of other worst things could happen if I were Canadian. Like.. Being Canadian!!
Dalliance 4
It's not about "Canadian monopoly money" in this case. In Canada, $1 is a coin.
ntherewas1 11
Same in Australia! Everything up to and not including $10 is in coins =) Then the notes increase exponentially in size as they do in value. Also, just to rub in further our awesomeness, they're plastic notes so they won't be reduced to unusable pulp in the wash.
ntherewas1 11
Oops I meant we have notes starting at $5 rather than $10.

Nah man there's worse, we could all be arrogant pricks like you!

Yeah if you have a wad of 1 dollar bills in the states and a 100 at the bottom you might only see the 1

you should feel good inside though.

Never give homeless people $ ... Food is more important//poor for a reason.

If you see a beggar on the street who needs booze, buy him some booze. He'll have to hit rock bottom before he can ever make a transition in his life.
SolanumX 6
First off: The majority of the homeless have set themselves up to be exactly that. Also 80 is correct, food is much more important because it can only be eaten, not potentially spent on booze, drugs, or something else that will degrade the homeless person in question even more. Also, just give them small amounts of food they can choke down because other homeless people will kill them for food, so carrying it around is a liability.
Corygerm 9
Yeah but think, maybe that money could help him turn his life around (a lot of the times not) but maybe he could be the 1 out of 100 who do.

Most homeless people don't use the money for food or anything. A lot of the time it goes to booze, cigarettes and drugs. Give them food. They say the money is for food anyway, give them what they "want". And actually a lot of "homeless" people aren't homeless at all. I see one every day at the metro station, and a few days ago I caught him talking on his cellphone...
wegetrz 14
Right because you know how every homeless person became homeless :/...get over yourself.

My English teacher used to be homeless, and he had a college degree from England. When he went back to the US, he couldn't find a job, so he couldn't pay his rent, and so on. He even met a guy while he was homeless that had the same problem, went to college, couldn't find a job, and all that. So don't insult homeless people. Most of them don't want to be homeless. Argument ended.

I think you mean figuratively. Are you Canadian, per chance?
amrik 11
What does being Canadian have to do with this?
Savra_fml 17
It is absurd to see the number of people who have donated $100 instead of the intended $1 & posted an FML about it! Is it really that hard to spot the difference?

There are a lot of morons in the world obviously.

If he just glanced at it and just saw the "1" part it is very easy to get mistaken especially if you're in a hurry. Sometimes I've looked and thought a one was a one hundred, what a bummer that was.
ThreeSheetsGone 12
It is if you're drunk and your finger is covering the 0's.
ikickgingers 15
40 is right I've done that before.. But not when sober.
Savra_fml 17
If the OP was drunk, and he would have braged about it if he was, then it is possible. OP knew they had more than one note in their pocket, so unless the begger went for a lucky dip, OP moves moron to another level.

Or if you don't seem to notice the difference between Benjamin Franklin and George Washington..two completely different looking people.. Taking up a good portion of the front.. Most of the front, in fact..

They don't all live in Canada xD where the $1 are coins and the $100 is a bill. Canadian money is color coded too. $5 is blue, $10 is purple, $20 is green, $50 is red, $100 is gold =P Just saying.. Not meaning to start a "who's country is better" war here

I agree, the two zeros are a tell-tale sign.

OP FYL but I bet you made the beggar's year with the $100
luccmon 6
Seriously? He probably made the beggars night and most of the next morning....that's it.
cinderella10383 6
Not every person who is homeless is into bad things there are those who are in need I can't believe I just read the comment about making his night/morning KARMA

Beggars make about minimum wage usually more and they don't pay taxes
Buttsexpirate 9
You may have lost 100 dollars but you'll feel better after that beggar buys some fancy ass liquor and drugs and gives you a share with all that money he has.
cinderella10383 6
Shame on you, let's hope you are never in this mans situation cause I'm positive karma will be paying you back at some point.. Not every homeless person drinks alcohol and does drugs some are really in need

I think someone's been on some himself with that picture of his.

But unfortunately many are, they resort to drugs and alcohol as a quick solution to a large problem. I have seen old homeless men on the street in front of a gas station beg for money and quickly run in to buy cigarettes. While it may not be true that all homeless people drink and smoke, many do to alleviate the serious problems they all face.

I think a pound was a bit stingy to start with, try to give at least 2
Feklfekl2222 32
Sorry, that should be dollar, I generally think in pounds and pence
rattusrattus 19
Kinda hard to get a £1 coin mixed up with a £100 note, though.
Feklfekl2222 32
That's why I realised my mistake. Cool name by the way

Thanks! :D
