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.

If they ask you for money, its unlikely that they are homeless. They've done studies on it, where they've followed the people around and things - most of the people who ask for spare change go "home" to million dollar houses because they make so much money from the spare change. The ones who are truly homeless dont ask for money - they offer an exchange of work for food because they know food is the most important thing, and they only do that when they can't scavenge enough in the first place

I remember I was with a big group and we all gave a bum money. I think he ended up with $200. Enough for a hooker and some blow! Probably gave him a heartattack. If anybody in Baltimore found a dead bum outside M&T Bank Stadium last year, it was my fault. Sorry.

you shouldnt have to give a homeless person money and feel bad for it. you should pepper spray them haha if they kept bothering you. its not your obligation to give money to someone who can't even make their own money.

**** that dude. you don't owe anybody anything. beggars deserve nothing especially when feel/act like they are entitled to something that isn't theirs. FYL for having that creeper harass you. Carry a stun gun next time.

I normally make an annoyed face when they are too persistent, only giving some change when im in a good mood. Well, at least a feel a bit of compassion to them : P poor guys ... couldn't do it on their own ...

You could have said you bought it on your credit card and had no cash?

I heard of a country in which bums/homeless people don't ask for change or bother pedestrians, while the pedestrians ignore the bums completely. Its cause the bums don't want to bother others with their problems. Wanna know what country im talking about? It sure as hell aint the US

**** You! Just give him some change. He just wants to buy some booze and drugs. Even homeless need to have fun.

Walk by a police officer next time. I've always been afraid of that happening to me. I hate it when people ask for money and pressure me. An idea is to carry like mcdonalds coupons. They have $1 hamburgers, so they're not too bad. And it can't be used for crack, meth, or pot.
