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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

how the hell is there more YDIs for this one than FYLs? the OP did not deserve this and all the dumbasses who say he/she should have given him money should realize that the homeless guy is not just entitled to get money whenever he asks for it. he should get himself a ******* job and stop begging and thinking he deserves other people's hard-earned money

I agree with not giving them money. That would most likely go to drugs or alcohol. However, you should have offered to buy him something to eat, like an apple, or banana or something. If he accepts, than you've done a good deed. If he doesn't accept, you just saved your money from being used to buy drugs/alcohol.

It's better to lie and say you don't have money than to be rude and say you won't give him any.

I don't know why there's so many YDI's. He/she doesn't have to give a bum money if they don't want to. It doesn't justify him following him/her.

Could have told him u used a card, not your fault he's homeless. Give him the address to the nearest shelter? ... Not a FML

Honestly, what's worse? Giving a homeless person a dollar, when they very well may have done something to end up homeless, and might spend the money on drugs/alcohol, or not giving money to someone who may have simply become a victim of this recession (jobs aren't exactly popping up all over the place these days) and will honestly use the money for food/shelter/etc? The way I see it, if I'm driving my car, affording to put gas in it, still have a roof over my head, a fridge full of food, and afford more than just the bare necessities of life, I'm doing a lot better than them, so why not spare a dollar or two. I'd rather give a bit of change to someone who's going to waste it, than not help out someone who actually needs it and would appreciate it...
