Today, I spent hours playing my guitar and singing in the street, hoping to make some extra cash. About 3 hours in, I realized some punk had been walking around with a hat taking money as if he was with me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came across a street musician. He looked extremely well-fed already, but his music was pretty good, so I gave him some spare change. As soon as I turned away, he started screaming at me for being "cheap", and chased me half a block before running out of breath. FML
Today, I was playing my guitar and singing on the street corner. I did earn money, when some guy threw a quarter out of his car window for me. It hit me in the face. I now have a circle shaped bruise under my eye. FML
Today, I was playing guitar on the sidewalk and had my guitar case open for tips. A man came up with a folded piece of green paper, smiled and walked away. After I was finished, I looked at my tips. I unfolded the paper, it was a note that said "You suck!" FML
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 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
Today, I had my earbuds in while walking to work. I was so into a particular song that I didn't notice I was singing out loud despite people being around. A random jogger gave me a thumbs-up and said, "Shit voice, wrong lyrics." FML
Today, I found out that a street performer makes more money than I do. I have a full time job at the bank. FML
Today, I found out that pretending to be a bum begging for money can get you stuck in a jail cell for a few hours. FML
Today, it was beautiful out. I decided to play guitar at the park near my house. I left my guitar case open, asking not for money but for feedback. I got two pieces of paper with feedback: 1) You're fat. 2) Get a life. FML
Today, I was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML

Did you bash the guitar on his head? I hear it sounds a lot like a Nickelback song

it's kinda sad that everybody hates a band JUST because it's "cool" to hate a band. I'll admit some (mostly their newer ones) songs suck but i still like NB and have since i waa like 12.

No, I hate them because they suck and would rather not hear them on the radio. Just like that Kryptonite song by 3 Doors Down, and anything involving Rebecca Black.
JACKxRAWR 22
Ugh, Nickelback. Hated it when "Rockstar" was on the radio all the time and everyone listened to it. Such a crappy song.

Everybody has their own taste in music. Everybody hates one band our another. Nickelback is just a populate one to hate.

Kryptonite is an awesome song and should not be put in the same category as Rebecca Black. Nobody deserves to be put in a category with Rebecca Black.

@31 what about Justin beiber?
AshaaFerreira 22
Sadly not even him... Rebecca Black is just a whole no low.

*I hear it sounds like every Nickelback song. <<-- Fix'd! No. Seriously. There are websites that play different Nickelback songs from different albums. One from the left speaker and one from the right speaker. It's the same song. Over and over and over again.

Kryptonite ******* rocks!!!!

The song Friday is so bad it's ruined all her songs no matter how hard she tries.....

I'm sick of hearing shit about Nickleback. They're fine. They're not a wonderful band, but they're not horrible, either. Most people who complain about them haven't even heard more than two songs by them, and only do so because others do. Guess what guys? It's getting old.

I shall become your drummer and together we can make loads of cash. I'm talking big figures like 30 dollars here. Then we can buy some grub and go back to living under a bridge. Because we're rockstars and that's what we do.

That sucks so badly- did you make anything in those 3 hours? I hope OP comes back on and tells us what he did to the guy!!
Elfkid21 19

Or smooth criminal? You be the judge.

Could've been worse. Least you weren't ticketed by cops for not having a permit.

It doesn't say anywhere whether he did or didn't he very well could have had one

The true winners of this world are sadly the heartless ones who take credit for other people's work and reap the rewards regardless of their own merit.

You're surprised by that? It's how we are as humans, even before birth. A bunch of sperm die trying to fight to get through to the egg, and you were the lucky little prick who took advantage of the path others set before you. Millions of others died so you could live. I hope you're happy with yourself, 15.
