Today, I found a purse in the school bathroom. When I looked inside, there was an iPod along with some other expensive stuff in it. I took it to the office so the right owner would get it back. The owner passed me in the hall on the way there; she freaked out and punched me in the face. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the movies. After it was over I got up and noticed a designer purse sitting on the ground in the back row. I opened it to look for anything that could give me a address so I could return it. The owner came back, assumed I was robbing her, and punched me in the nose. FML
Today, I had given up on finding my makeup bag with cell phone and iPod my mom had bought for me recently. So I went to art to join the group of girls with whom I share the back art studio of my school. One of them was talking about how she'd ripped off some bitch's stuff, and she held up my bag. FML
Today, I found the purse that some asshat stole from my 15-year-old sister a few days ago. I found it in my now ex-boyfriend's closet. When I confronted him, he broke up with me for "invading" his privacy and kicked me out, without the purse. FML
Today, my "friend" came over. I caught him trying to steal my iPod on the way out. Proud of myself for catching him, I asked him to leave, only to realize that I had forgotten to actually take the iPod back from him before he left. FML
Today, at work, an old lady came through my line to buy some groceries. She told me she lost her purse and was a little short. It was busy, so I pulled out my little purse and gave her the money she needed. A few minutes later she returned with my boss, insisting that my purse was hers. FML
Today, I was working as a cashier and a woman brought up a suitcase. As I was ringing her up I checked inside like I'm supposed to and I very jokingly say, "Look at all the stuff you're stealing." She laughed nervously then hit me in the head with her heavy purse before running out of the store. FML
Today, I went for a job interview. Before giving me a tour, the manager pointed to my purse and said, "Better leave that in my office." I didn't know why it was safer in her office than on my shoulder, but I complied. Later, I went to buy coffee and discovered that all my cash was missing. FML
Today, while I was taking a break at work, someone stole my iPod from my desk. I work in a police station. FML
Today, I was listening to some music before school started, which is why I didn't hear my teacher sneak up behind me. When she laid her hand on my shoulder, of course I accidentally punch her in the face. Her nose bled. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when a man stole my purse. He then opened the purse, threw up in it, and gave it back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No good deed goes unpunished. Just explain it to her and keep doing the right thing.

It's ok OP. at least you were trying to do the right thing. Don't let her terrible reaction stop you from doing good things like that again.

I find it interesting that the children we have been warned for the past 20 years to not spank because "spanking makes violence seem ok in their minds" apparently feel that an appropriate first choice response to any life situation is violence.

Well I am 21 and I was spanked for the first decade or so of my life. However, as an 8 year old, I one day found that an expensive golden ring with my birthstone was no longer in my backpack at my desk. I thought I had lost it, but I suspected it could have been stolen as well. I kept quiet, though. Then one day, I saw a girl wearing my ring. I knew it was mine because it has a dent in it from where they the jeweler had re sized it. I could barely speak Russian (as my school was a Russian school) but I politely walked up and asked her where she had gotten that beautiful ring. She pointed to her friend. I asked her the same thing. She looked at me nervously and said she bought it at the store. I said ok. Then I went and explained to my teacher that it was my ring and that she said she bought it. They took her aside. The next thing I new she was handing it back and apologizing. No violence there. :)

She probably thought you stole it, hence the reason why she flipped out.

No shit, Sherlock. Are you dense? Of COURSE that's why she punched her, what other reason would there be?

Hey guys, it's OP here. The girl understood and now we're friends, and maybe closer.

If that was me I would be like " oh that's mine" and then they would say " yea I was bringing to the office" That's how I do it..

Even if you did steal it that wouldn't warrant a punch to the face. FYL OP.

Something similar happened to my mother-in-law. She found a purse and as she was trying to find an employee to turn it in to, the woman who owned it came back to find her holding it. She made such a scene, insisting that my MIL was trying to steal her purse (even though she gave it right back) that my poor MIL ended up getting arrested. Kind of makes you think twice about bothering to do the right thing in that situation, which is sad.

Find her and steal the purse
