Today, some guy on the street threatened to stab me. I called his bluff, and walked away. He wasn't bluffing. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I was walking home when a stranger came up to me and told me to give him a good reason why he shouldn't punch me in the face. I guess none were good enough. FML

Leg it
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML

Today, I was walking down the street in the dark, and the woman in front of me kept looking back nervously. I jokingly assured her that I wasn't a mugger. She then took out a knife and mugged me. FML

Today, a man pulled a knife on me just so he could mug me of the cigarette I was smoking. FML

Today, a total stranger asked me to marry him while we were waiting for the bus. I turned him down. He then pulled a knife on me, grabbed my purse and ran. FML

Run!
Today, I was dared to walk home through a rough part of town. My rep hung in the balance, so I accepted. A kid kicked a football in my direction, so I kicked it back at him hard. It hit him in the nuts, and the next thing I know, I'm running for my life from three bald, shirtless, six-packed thugs. FML
No justice anywhere
Stand your ground
Today, some guy tried to mug me. Shocked, I threw a punch that somehow knocked him on his ass. I'm now staring down the barrel of a lawsuit since he was apparently only 16 and "acting out" because of his shitty home life, as if I should have just handed him my wallet politely. FML

Sorry, man
Today, I shouted, "Fuck off!" out of reflex when I felt someone behind me grab my bag and pull it off my shoulder. It turned out to be an elderly man with a walking stick, who was trying to steady himself in a busy crowd. FML

Today, a man pulled me violently into an alleyway and informed me I was being mugged. Being a body-builder, I said, "Oh yeah? Go on then." He kicked my ass in a matter of seconds, stole my wallet, then farted on my bruised face. He called me a wimp. FML

Didn't Simba teach you anything? Never turn your back on an outsider... But, in all seriousness, OP. I hope you're okay. :/

Agreed, must be some reason op got stabbed. What's the real deal?

Next time someone drops a threat like that, call the cops instead of calling their bluff.

Or just stab them before they get a chance?

19, If some crazy person is threatening to stab someone else, I don't think they're going to patiently wait & allow them to call the police.

Of course they wouldn't wait for the cops to arrive. You don't call them as a precautionary measure; you call them in order to give them a better chance of catching a perp that threatened and attacked you. Not only that, but a stab victim can usually benefit from an ambulance.

Edit* Oops, I misread! But it sounded as if OP had at least a little bit of time to phone the police, between receiving a threat and calling bullshit.

That's ****** crazy! A follow up is needed here.

Damn! Hope you're okay OP. I'm assuming you wrote this from the hospital

I hope you are okay now...never take things so carelessly...

If it's anything like where I live, it'd be because OP walked past them on the street, got served before them in a store or even glanced in their direction.
