Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while getting out of Starbucks there was a homeless guy. I bought him a coffee and he was so happy he gave me a hug. Guess whose wallet is missing? FML
Today, a man came up to me and asked for a $50 bill in change. Being a good man, I said sure. I gave him the change and he gave me the $50 bill. After walking into Starbucks to buy a coffee, I handed the cashier my $50 bill. She called the cops. It was counterfeit. 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 passed a homeless person asking for change. When I politely apologized and told him that I had none, he yelled angrily, "Who comes to this city without money?" I replied, "Apparently, you do." Wrong answer. He followed me, now screaming. FML
Today, while I was walking home, a homeless man saw me and didn't ask for change, but how much I charged. 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, my friend and I walked 3 miles to a Starbucks. We went inside, paid for our coffees and walked the 3 miles back to my house. We forgot to pick up our coffees. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when a homeless man asked me for some spare change. I told him I didn't have any. I then tripped. Not only spilling the soda I was drinking all over myself, but also spilling the spare change I had from buying it. FML
Today, trying to do a good deed, I gave a homeless guy a $10 bill. As I walked away, he yelled after me, "You fucking bitch!" FML
Today, I was sitting in the park eating a sandwich, when a homeless guy asked me for some spare change. I said I didn't have any. He offered an "erotic striptease" in exchange for my sandwich. I said no. He gave one anyway. I walked back to work on an empty stomach. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Haha. This happened to me once, just keep on walking and drop a couple of quarters to keep him occupied while you make an escape.

I offered a homeless man the food I had just bought because he said he needed change to get something to eat. He refused the food. Lol

Just say you used a credit card.. you have no change and you shouldn't be giving out your credit card

damned people should be trying to get a job instead of begging anyway

I understand the need to beg. they understand if you just say no. don't lie when a firm no will do

getting a job is hard enough without being homeless.

You couldn't give him anything? Then again if you give him some once he'll want more again.

Perhaps it's good you didn't give it to him, he probably wanted to buy beer or drugs or something. He sounds like a creep x(. Maybe a quarter or two would have been nice though.

I lie to them sometimes, but usually I don't have cash on me. Even if I did have the cash, I probably wouldn't give him any money... But how does he know you didn't charge it to a card or something?

You could have just lied and said you bought the drink with credit. I mean, you already did lie once...

Just say " I have no change", don't look at him, just look forward and keep walking. It works for me everytime. Or just completely ignore his existence.

whether it's a homeless person asking for change or a business person complaining at an airport, when people act like the world/other people owe them something it's damn annoying. sucks, FYL
