Today, I witnessed a homeless man fall off of his bike and land face first onto the pavement. Bleeding and shivering in the 40 degree weather, I gave him the coat off of my back. He got up like nothing happened and sprinted away with it. Oh yeah, my wallet was in the inside pocket. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was riding my bike to work in a hurry and hit a pothole. I flew off and hit the ground hard. I was badly shaken, but an old lady came over, checked me out and helped me to my feet. After she left the scene, I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet while "helping" me. FML
Today, I was riding on my bike when I saw a homeless guy holding a sign saying, "Need money, stranded from Oklahoma." I decided to be nice, and hopped off my bike to give him $2. He took the money, and then jacked my bike. FML
Today, I was walking home, when I saw a homeless man trying to tear the wallet out of another guy's hand. I can't stand bums, so I smacked him across the jaw. That's when the other one kneed me in the balls and made off with my wallet as well. 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, I helped a "blind" man across the street. He kindly said thank you and patted me on the back. Then, I went into a store and realized my wallet was missing. FML
Today, I was skating in the city when I slipped and fractured my arm. As I was lying in pain, a guy walked up to me, frisked my pocket and took my wallet. He then said, "It's nothing personal." FML
Today, I passed out on the way to work. Some lucky passerby took this as an opportunity to help themself to my purse. FML
Today, as I was walking home, I felt my feet slip out from under me and I face-planted in the slushy, dirty, melting snow. I rolled over, completely soaked, and attempted to get up, thinking no one saw me. A mail-man then passed me without offering to help, and said, "I've seen worse." 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, 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

Isn't if funny how the world works sometimes? You try to do something nice, and you get screwed.

I sir, find nothing the least bit humorous about about another man's misfortune. For shame.

Thank you for pointing that out..also was he giving him the coat for a few minutes to warm him up or what? If you're going to be generous you might as well have given him the coat anyway..without the wallet preferably

I'm just confused about the OP bleeding from the cold weather.

That was a nice thing you tried to do. I'm sorry it kind of backfired. But was a nice thing. I will not judge you unfairly here.

I'm surprised the YDI's surpass the FYL's on this one. "YDI for trying to act humanely towards another human being. YDI for doing for someone else what you'd want done for you." This is an FYL, for sure. At least you can report the wallet stolen, and give the police a description. The homeless in my city tend to be found in the same place day after day, so if you can say where it happened, chances are they'll find him around there.

To paraphrase: "I gave a homeless man my coat, with my wallet in it, to keep him warm for a few minutes, intending to take it back from him and make him feel colder than before. Then, to my complete surprise, he ran away with my coat! FML"

Your use of racist slurs is very uncool. And unnecessary. I expect better from you, pimpin.

Sad that our world is so ****** up that people's feelings of "he should of known better" overcome their sympathies for a man that was trying to be kind. Should of known better not to trust another human being, I guess. FYL, and F the way this world thinks.

You should "of" paid attention in elementary school grammar lessons.

That old saying "no good deed goes unpunished" fits here. Somewhere in Michigan there's a bloody, soaked hobo running around in a nice jacket, buying dinner on your dime!
perdix 31
Yes, but he lost his bike. Undoubtedly, a piece of finely-tuned mechancial perfection. Plus, he has to still live in Michigan. Gack!

Well, if he had taken the bike, the OP could have followed the squeaking and grinding sound of rusty pedals to pinpoint the perp!
