Today, I was walking past a homeless guy while smoking; he asked if he could have a cigarette. So I gave him one and said without thinking, "Sorry, it’s a menthol, but beggars can't be choosers." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went out for a smoke break. A homeless person walks up to me and asks for a cig. As I pull out my pack he says "Oh... Menthols... no I don't smoke that cheap shit". I was called cheap by a hobo. FML
Today, a homeless guy asked me for a cigarette. Knowing that I only had a couple left in my pack, I gave it to him. He opened it, took one out and thanked me profusely. A bit surprised, I went on my way. Oh yeah, that's right, the pack contained the money I'd withdrawn from an ATM. FML
Today, a man in a hurry asked me for a light. Not being able to find my lighter amongst the muddle inside my handbag, I handed him my lit cigarette so he could light his. He took it from me, started smoking it and walked off. FML
Today, I was at a bar and met this great guy. He was going outside for a smoke and I wanted to go too. Since I don't smoke, I decided to borrow one of my friends cigarettes as an excuse to go outside with him. As I was lighting the cigarette, he pointed out that I was lighting the wrong end. FML
Today, while walking down the street, a homeless man walked up to me. He opened his mouth to say something and I immediately said that I didn't have any spare change because I was late for work. He then said "I was gonna ask you for the time, dickwad". Apparently he wasn't homeless. 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
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, a homeless man asked me for some money to eat. He ate the five dollars I gave him. FML
Today, I stayed with a friend because I was recently kicked out of my home and had nowhere to go. When I went out for job applications, she asked, "Can you pick me up a pack of smokes?" and then got mad that I didn't have the money, calling me selfish. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wasn't there a post like this where the hobo wouldn't take a menthol?

Yeah

That's like when you say something like "bored to death" at a funeral, then realize what you said. It's awkward, but it happens.

Well I'm sure the homeless guy understands the expression more than anyone. He obviously can't afford his own.

Hey you are the guy from the apps photo description!
i_wuz_nver_here 31
Oh whoa I just checked that, I don't know if I should be flattered or creeped out (queue flood of people to the app store to see if it's true)

Can somebody copy and paste the post here? I'd like to read it. Thanks.

It wasn't a post. The app Description shows pictures of the app, and the one for user profiles happens to be wuz not here. Probably got their name wrong but you ought a get it
i_wuz_nver_here 31
I think they mean the other post with the hobo that refused the menthol

Probably a similar scenario started the saying =0

Are you retarded?

Lol poor beggar dude.... That must have been shocking 2 him but alas, a saying is a saying....
bertman21 5
I'm sure he wasn't that shocked he's a homeless guy they hear a lot worse. Op is nice enough to give him one.

Did he chase you around the block and stab you in the leg with a pencil?
i_wuz_nver_here 31
If he's a smoker there's no way he has the stamina for that
Sharpie23 7
neither of them have the stamina for that...
HiIAmKevin 8
49- no but I bet the girl in your picture has a lot of stamina ;)
SirCharles83 13
49- yes, my penis brought me there. Damnit!
onlychildFTW 34
Love that picture. Haha.

Well, it's true, if they're begging, then they'll get what they get, instead of choosing what they get.

Thank you for explaining the adage we've all heard a million times. I had no idea that's what it meant. [Again, for the sarcasm impaired, ^ an example.]

59 is fake and gay. Sorry I really had to say that! Dont try to bring =3 down, Ray's the best darned comedian on YouTube

....I think he was just making a face. Probably should have used :3 instead. Also: I like Jenna Marbles better than RWJ.

107 - well considering that WAS a quote from =3 then it would make sense. and if he was making a face, why would he/she put a nice kitty face after saying 'stupid'? That's horrid sarcasm. And no one gives a flying walnut about your opinion. This is FML. Not F other people's Ls.
UsernameHere234 13
It was simply sarcasm on the fact that one person can make one joke on something and suddenly it appears everywhere. I have nothing against =3 and I watch all his videos because some of his stuff is really good.

Do you find cigarettes laying on t he floor waiting for you to pick them up? Why should you even give cigarettes to strangers? xD
faithxoxox 1
Why not? It's a cigarette.

9-Not everyone is a prick. some people decide to be nice and give things away if they don't exactly need them.
Fmlsea 28
If that was you would you like everyone to ignore you and not help you with something as small as a smoke?

If you're smoking than you can afford to give a few away, it's a luxury not a necessity. *note before I get attacked by smokers, I'm one too*
MDM15 5
It's true though
22cute 17
Yes, and I don't really think that can hurt anyones feelings.

44 - Are you saying the truth doesn't hurt? If so, you're 100% wrong.
