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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was walking on the street when a woman in front of me dropped a couple of dollars. I picked them up and chased her to return it all. She insisted that it wasn't hers. I tried to tell her it was, but she wouldn't accept it. A cop saw me and arrested me for solicitation. FML
Today, I went to a carnival. While walking around with my cousin, I saw a one hundred dollar bill on the ground. Just before I stepped on it, a man grabbed it. His words? "Don't you just hate it when that happens?" And he walked away. 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 picked up a penny off the street for good luck on my job interview. A few seconds later, a hobo beat me up, took my wallet, and ran off. The whole ordeal made me late for the interview. So much for good luck. FML
Today, a hobo threw up on my car while at a red light. He then asked me for money. FML
Today, a man approached my delivery van and asked for change for a $5 bill. I guess I should've expected him to grab the change and run off with the extra money. FML
Today, on the way home, a guy yelled "Hey, YOU!" from behind me, so I walked faster. He ran up to me, shouting, "I said stop, asshole!" I almost pissed myself in fear, thinking I was being mugged. Turns out I'd left my wallet at the grocery store, and he was just trying to return it. FML
Today, while coming out of Walmart, I dropped a $50 bill. Some kid came running up after me yelling, "Hey mister, you dropped this!" as he ran past me laughing. FML
Today, I was walking down the street and noticed a man in ripped clothes with a cup out asking for money. I was on my way to the movies but I felt like this man needed it more that me. Right as I gave it to him, he pulled out his blackberry. 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

Has anyone considered that maybe the man she referred to was actually the hobo, and that the hobo informed her about the money hoping that she would just say 'it's fine you keep it.' Then when she didn't say that he chased her saying it was hi.

I know, I'm so sick of people wanting money these days! It's sickening knowing how greedy people are for such a worthless thing. I'd rather have tons of sports cars, a trophy wife, mansions and super computers (and other auxiliary stuff, like good lawyers and doctors and bodyguards) than all the money in the world. Sheesh. I mean what's up with people and their obsession of money nowadays?!
RJB 0
uh to have tons of sports cars and trophy wives(wife) you need tons of ******* money.
snavula 0
You don't need money if you live in a society that has advanced beyond money. Money is nothing but a symbol for debt.
begrunge 0
#41, both of those things are worthless. sports cars just look nice and are the symbol of the evil burgoise, and the concept of a Trophy Wife should've never come into existance. marriage should be for love, not showmanship.

#41: sarcasm, maybe?

I think you mean 'bourgeoisie' not 'burgoise'. And why are the middle classes evil, pray? I agree with the idea that marriage should be for love though.
MR_OHCRAP 0
Marriage is a symbol for love and compassion. Not jealousy and lust. I would rather to marry and LOVE an average looking woman than to marry and have sex all the time with some sexy ****. Also, to the "middle class" people out there, ask yourself this. What would you rather, get $10 for free, or donate $20 to charity. Next time you get 1c or 2c change, (5c for Australians), or even better, 20c,25, or 50c, just put it in a charity tin. If you do that everytime you go shopping, before you know it, you probably have donated $30 without noticing, or making it change your life.

You'd think my cheesy nickname would warrant people not replying to my troll remarks. Lol. Relax, I'm going to marry an average looking person. And not just cuz I can't get a hot person if I tried, either! ;)

Why would you make troll comments if you didn't want people to reply to them?

nice use of sarcasm..am i wrong in assuming its sarcasm? :P

#77, as someone who's always been in the lower class, I would definitely rather get $10 "for free" than donate $20 to charity. How else will I pay for food?

#123 That is perfectly understandable if you don't have a lot of money but if you have the money instead off buying extra snacks you could donate a little bit to charity.

Not everyone's rich, hell I'd take $5 if someone said I dropped it

Im losing hope for mankind...money is so worthless, I dont see why anyone cares that much about it.

People care about money because if you don't have it you're ******. You say money is worthless, but you wouldn't be alive if your parents/you didn't have a job and didn't pay for your food, clothes rent, doctor etc.
snavula 0
Indeed you are right and its a damn shame. If we were truly free, there would be no such thing as money. Money is efficient when dealing with scarcity because it can somewhat organize who should get what first. But, if we had an abundance of everything? Well there'd be no reason to sell it and we could do the moral thing and provide free sustenance for all human beings. By the way, we can produce abundance of resources. Ever wondered why the government will pay farmers sometimes to NOT grow stuff? Its to keep the idea of scarcity around to give money what little worth it has. ****** up, right?

I create things (games, GPU software, etc) for fun, it happens to be my job, and I happen to get money for it, but if I wasnt being paid, I would still do these things. I wont work a day in a my life...

# 95: Then you're lucky. But if you didn't have a job or money, you couldn't buy the computers and software you needed to create the things you do.

YDI for taking money that doesn't belong to you.
rottenryhmer 0
You are so full of it, 95% of everyone here would accept $5 if someone came up and gave it to you. The hobo chasing part is a whole different story.

You cant make up statistics. I wouldnt take it. And just because 95% of people do something wrong, that doesnt make it right

Wow I moderated the FMLs and this was one I said yes to! :) this is cool. Not about you being chased though, that's horrible! Did he hurt you?
you_not_me_OWNED 0
"did he hurt you?" really? that just fuels the stereotype that hobos are violent criminals. i think SHE'S the criminal for not giving the homeless guy 5 bucks. seriously.

YDI, for taking money that wasn't urs.. :-/

Wow, instant karma. If 5 bucks matters more to you as much as it does to a homeless man, then your life is indeed f'd.

YDI...taking the money I can understand to a point but not giving it back to a HOMELESS person? You're an asshole.
