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?

you're not obliged to give your money to a bum anyway!

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.

Screw everyone that says you should have given him some money or told him that you used a credit card. You don't have to satisfy your conscious by telling him you used a cc. It's none of his damn business. You tell him no. That's all he needs to hear. If someone else wants to give him a buck then fine but don't think that anyone here has any right to influence you to do so.

You should have told him you paid with a credit card.

The majority of homeless people are mentally ill and incapable of maintaining a job. In Ontario at least, thank Mike Harris for reducing welfare and emptying the psychiatric hospitals - now they're all on the street. That being said, you're in no way obligated to give him money, unless you believe in karma/the afterlife/all that jazz - that's your perogative. And who are you to say whether or not the homeless guy deserves the money? Even if he spends it on drugs or alcohol, at least he'll be happy. Is it really your place to say? If you're that judgemental about his spending habits, buy the guy a bagel or a coffee and give him that. Don't justify your miserly tendencies by saying he'll just "waste it."

All I know is in my city, they have places for the homeless that give them food, shelter, clean clothes, so screw him, he'll more likely buy drugs and alcohol with it.

I would have started yelling and swearing at him telling him to get a job and stop being a drain on society. Also I would have yelled at him for thinking he was entitled in any way to your money.
