Today, I helped a "blind" man across the street. He kindly said thank you and patted me on the back. Then, I went into a store and realized my wallet was missing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was walking down the street, when a little old lady bumped into me and fell over. I helped her up and she thanked me for being "such a nice young man". It was only an hour later as I was in line at the store that I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet. FML
Today, I saw an elderly man struggling to make it across a busy street. I jumped up from my table at Starbucks to help him, leaving my things behind. When I got back to my table feeling good, I found that my coffee had disappeared. So had my wallet. FML
Today, I bumped into a man on the street. I apologized and he picked up his wallet. To clear the awkward silence, I pointed out that his wallet looked like mine. It wasn't until I was on the next street that I realized it was my wallet. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML
Today, I saw an elderly woman in need of help of crossing a street. I helped her across. On the way she just about fell and held onto me to keep from hitting the ground. After she left on her bus I reached for my wallet. It was gone. I had just been robbed by a 70 year old. FML
Today, I realized I'd lost my wallet when paying for groceries. I had to put all the items back and leave the store feeling so embarrassed in front of everyone. FML
Today, I walked into Best Buy to buy a 42" widescreen TV I'd been saving up for many months. As I walked in, a man stopped me and handed me my wallet that I'd accidentally dropped. I thanked him. Five minutes later at the checkout, I opened up my wallet to realize it was empty. He had stolen everything. FML
Today, I went to the store, but after I'd selected my items, I saw that I'd forgotten my wallet. When I tried to explain to the cashier, he thought that I was trying to steal and called the cops. My roommate had to come to the store to save me. FML
Today, I lost my wallet while out shopping. Panicked, I retraced my steps and found it at a store, turned in by an employee. Grateful, I opened it to find a note that read, "We left the money but took one dollar for karma." I checked. They did actually take one dollar. FML
Today, on the way home, a guy yelled "Hey, YOU!" from behind me, so I walked faster. He ran up to me, shouting, "I said stop, asshole!" I almost pissed myself in fear, thinking I was being mugged. Turns out I'd left my wallet at the grocery store, and he was just trying to return it. FML

Similar situation happened to me but I only had a money clip with like $45 in it and the wallet I stole off him had $400.00 and cards in it;)

um you deserve it. what would a blind guy be doing crossing a street without some way to get across on his own? dumbass

I don't think he faked it. I think he robbed you blind.

that's why I do this test where I place my foot in front of people that claim to be blind to see whether or not they trip... or take off their glasses and look at their eyes

Instead of tripping them you could pretend to punch them and see if they flinch....

well, if it's true, then fyl. but have you ever considered that, maybe, you didn't bring your wallet, or lost it before you helped the person? No need to jump to conclusions, OP.
StoryOfTheYear 15
how does your wallet just fall out of your pocket? obviously he brang it with him, why would he post here about it if he hadn't found it yet, I'm pretty sure that guy robbed him

Because it says 'woman' next to her name, lol.

hah, I guess that would give it away. however it doesn't, perhaps because I'm on th iPhone app.
Novogrod 0
It DOES say it on the app. Look in the top right corner.

I am also on an iPhone. It should have a female symbol to the right. The only thing is I'm unable to get profile information on who's leaving the comments.

No, that pat on the back was a distraction, while he swiped it out of her purse.
damienwatkins 0
well that's... good?
ImaginaryFoe 1
He could've nipped it from her purse and the pat on the back was just to focus her attention on that contact and not on the jostle (if any) to her purse. P.S. I hate anti-flood protection and this should've posted as a response to #2.

you know in my country there are people by the traffic lights who are supposedly blind. Point a (fake) gun to their head just to see if they really are blind =P hahahaha!!!

Don't blind people usually have a seeing eye dog (or whatever it's called, I'm not a native english speaker)? It sucks, but op also kinda deserves it. Most blind people are very well adjusted and very capable of crossing the street.

The hell? Just because they are perfectly capable of crossing the street it doesn't mean that a bit of help isn't appreciated..especially in this case. Either way, OP comes nowhere close to deserving this. That's like saying if you helped someone with the dishes and you cut yourself, you most definately deserved it because the other person is perfectly capable of doing the dishes. The next time something shitty happens to you when you're helping someone, I'll be there to laugh and say YDI.
