Today, I was walking home from when I passed an old woman sitting on the curb of Walmart begging for change. I gave her my last dollar and felt good about it. Five minutes later I saw the same woman driving away in a car. I don't even own a car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was driving back home after hanging out with some friends. I drove pass a woman standing next to a broken down car. I felt bad, so went back and offered her a ride home. Turns out it wasn't her car and she was a hooker. FML
Today, I saw a homeless man on the corner, I thought I would be generous and give him some cash. I rolled down my window and waved my hand for him to come over. As he was walking over, he was struck by another car. FML
Today, an elderly woman couldn't afford all of her groceries at the checkout so she started to take out a few things. I offered to pay for her groceries; she thanked me and walked out. An onlooker then came up to me and told me that she does it to someone every week. FML
Today, I helped an elderly woman push her grocery cart around the store, and look for her vehicle after she'd paid. After we spent ages wandering around trying to find her car, she remembered that she'd taken the bus today. FML
Today, I saw an elderly woman in need of help of crossing a street. I helped her across. On the way she just about fell and held onto me to keep from hitting the ground. After she left on her bus I reached for my wallet. It was gone. I had just been robbed by a 70 year old. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus to the gym. I saw that an old woman needed help to get off the bus, so I got up, and helped her off. When I had finally got her down the stairs the bus closed the doors and drove away. I was in the middle of nowhere and the bus drove away with all my things. FML
Today, I gave a homeless man my last bit of spare change so he could get on the bus. Just as I was about to get on too, I realized I'd lost my bus card. I had to get off the bus and watch as the man waved at me through the window. FML
Today, on my way to work, I noticed a woman on the side of the road waving for help, her car appearing to be broken down. I pulled over, stepped out of my car, went over to her car, lifted the hood, and checked it. When I looked up to tell her what was wrong, she and my car were gone. 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 little old lady bumped into me and fell over. I helped her up and she thanked me for being "such a nice young man". It was only an hour later as I was in line at the store that I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet. FML

It was a dollar right? If you feel that bad about it..I'll friggin mail you a dollar. Not a big deal. Don't be dumb enough to fall for scammers. Know the true beggars and the fakes.

Has no one else noticed that he says "today I was walking home from when" It doesn't make sense! And you cares, its only a dollar, she can't even buy gas with it

One of the local news outlets did a story on these panhandlers. They watched for a few days and counted the take. It averaged around $600 a day. Give money to legitimate charities, never to street beggars. Like someone said earlier, pay street performers but never give a penny to a beggar.

Man, that old lady's got class. Real class. She probably scammed half the city into giving her money to pay for that car. But still, it's only a dollar. I think you can move past this.

Don't sweat it I don't have a car either. Karma always finds it's way around. You had good intentions that's what really matters.

That's why I don't give money to people on the street, most of the time they're lying. Sometimes on my way to school I see a woman in a wheelchair going car to car asking for money claiming she's poor and her kids are starving. It would be a lot more convincing if she wasn't always perfectly clean and wearing designer clothes of some sort. -_-
