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.

29, just because you're homeless doesn't mean you're worthless. Stereotyping is a bitch move. OP, You deserve it for being selfish and inconsiderate.

Selfish and inconsiderate? Maybe OP genuinely didn't have money and used a card. I hate it how people are calling OP mean. It's not like they meant to hurt the homeless man, maybe they didn't want to be bothered. Just because they aren't being Mother Theresa doesn't mean they're mean

Haha, should've turned round and said "Yeah, I didn't have any spare change. I needed it to buy myself a drink..."

Well, I understand why some people say YDI because you lied to him, but you're not obligated to give anyone else money for nothing in return. There is a possibility he is homeless because of extreme misfortune, but there's also a chance it could be his fault and if you gave money to every beggar on the off chance that he deserves it, you'd have nothing left for yourself. And anyway, he shouldn't have followed you and swore at you no matter what. A guilt-inducing glare will do just fine, jeez.

First off, how is thisreally an FML? Ok now a rant about bums... Believe it or not, some people choose to be bums. I have no idea why. I mean if they can go to a homeless shelter, bathe themselves, find someone to give them some clean clothes andbthen go look, they are bound to find a job somewhere! And that's why I never give them money. Because they want people to feel sorry for them and help, when they can't even bother to at least TRY help themselves. Next time, throw the coffee at him and start screaming. Get people's attention then run off.

Dude, are you serious? Not every city has a homeless shelter. Even those that do are almost always full. I've been homeless. In Florida. It was bloody horrifying. It wasn't by choice. It's a long story, but bad luck led me to that situation. Homeless in Florida for over 2 months. I can't express how bad it is. Just getting food is a miracle. Getting clean clothes and a shower? A practical impossibility. Getting a job is hard EVEN under ABSOLUTELY IDEAL circumstances. How the HELL do you expect a homeless person to "just get a job eventually" when even people with homes, meals, showers, clean clothes can't? Give me a break man. People don't understand the situation at all.

Or just say you used plastic? That's what I do. Or I tell them to **** off. I don't care if I "hurt their feelings". They're just going to waste it anyway.

gdude756, there is nothing selfish about not giving a homeless person money. I don't know how it is over where you live, but over here, it's not a good idea. Most of them waste the money on drugs and alcohol. A lot of them are ungrateful. One time, this woman gave a homeless man a $1 and he said "I don't want no damn dollar, bitch!" When you kindly decline, they get really upset, sometimes belligerent. It's better to give them food or offer to pay for a meal...

#46... some people actually make enough money being bums, why would they ever try to be anything else?
