Strange things are afoot…
Today, I sent a Facebook friend request to the guy who had the party I was at last night. I immediately realized, however, that my new profile picture is of me, smiling and holding the trophy I stole from his house. FML

Today, I got a friend request on Facebook. It's from the person who crashed into my car earlier in the month. It's funny that she doesn't return my calls or messages, but liked my status about the accident. FML

I wonder how he knew what the muggers name was.
btstig 11
Possibly because he stole op's wallet or purse?
whyusofat 17
Thats one persistent basterd.

Maybe he just wants to party some Farmville?
jacquesromualdez 12
He wanted you so badly OP.
SuperKnuckels 6
some people didnt read the FML correctly lol, but isnt that good now you have his name if he really is the mugger.

Not only wanted to play FarmVille with him but mug him in FarmVille xD

I would accept then send him game request everyday as revenge.

97 - Or poke the shit out of his FB ;)
Futacy 30
did you accept it?
qwillis98 20
He saw his profile pic stupid

"Hey man, sorry for stealing your shit last week. Can we still be fb buddies? I really need to hit one thousand friends..."
buck33 14
Well the FML says "tried to mug me" so I don't think the mugger succeeded. So maybe he was arrested and OP found out his name that way.
OneOnJuanAction 22
No, it's so the mugger would know where he lives or what he's doing at the moment.
dragonstrike94 8
Well. Well damn that's just awkward
maemadness 2
What's more awkward, actually scary, is that the mugger knew them well enough to find them on Facebook.
KBeatz 5
Yes, I guess some people just have issues with approaching others
Pandacupcakelove 26
Awkward and stupid :/ Now OP has the person's full name and everything...
ant1ion 12
22- yeah, he just wanted to say hi and flirt with op But it ended wrong XD
bamagrl410 31
If OP was mugged, the guy probably has his or her ID & other things, which could make adding someone on Facebook relatively easy. I wouldn't think (or hope) they knew each other.
maemadness 2
Aww, I guess he wanted to keep you updated on the items he stole- so you wouldn't worry :)
Myo_fml 20
He didn't steal anything because he was unsuccessful. Note the word "tried" in the FML.
mikeofthunder 13
Who said muggers lacked empathy? ;)
maemadness 2
Oh, well in that case I think he added OP to keep trying to mug them...online.

Did you accept it?

Might be a good way to get his info to the police, I suppose...

This comment had me laughing so hard xD

I've always heard Australia is populated entirely with criminals, but this is taking it a step too far. Does this mean your friend tried to mug you, or that even the criminals try to be friends with everyone?
AussieChild 22
Well we do have the friendliest criminals... They tweet us as they are breaking into houses.
TheDrifter 24
Well op said "tried". Maybe op beat the mugger badly enough to give him battered spouse syndrome and he just wants to apologise?
GothicAngel17 24
I think it means that this criminal decided he might like to be a stalker as well. You know, branch out a little and gain some experience...
SonOfAMitch 14
Sometimes when they come to mug you, they ask if they can tag you in the pictures and upload them up to Facebook, adding captions like "omg hanging with my bestie victim here at '_____' xx" I think it's very nice :)

Australia isn't populated entirely with criminals you idiot. ...we also have kangaroos.
Nekogami 14
If I could like this a thousand times. Kangaroos!!!!
marmlr339 14
Well you're right because in Australia just about everything is a crime
gracehi 33
I'm trying to figure out how that would even happen. Someone you know tried to mug you? Or did you introduce yourself to your mugger? "Your money or your life!" "Oh, hello there! I'm John Smith. Nice to meet you."
Marteeny23 19
Ummm they got mugged. Their wallet/purse got taken. That means their ID got taken. And that has a picture of them as well as their name.
ebonyirony 29
19- "tried to mug"
GracesDelirium 9
Maybe the would be mugger just saw OP's profile picture and recognized them. Small chance, but... Nice name, by the way. :D
gracehi 33
Thanks. :) I like your name better.
GracesDelirium 9
I much prefer yours, but thanks. XD
Shrike 24
You realize people get mugged for their cell phones too, right? Not just their wallets.
etoilenuit 15
Well if he mugged op then he would have gotten a hold of something with op's name on it. It'd be crazy but maybe he looked him up?
headmaster556 4
That's my name, same spelling same last and first name
leadawg75 12
Well when e mugge him he could've stolen his ID
DerrickJames 33
He wanted tips on how to better mug hi next time.
zingline89 18
This is perfect! Now you can get your revenge. Send him Farmville requests multiple times per day and he'll wish he had never tried to mess with you!
LittleGreenPaola 23
That's brilliant
olpally 33
Call the cops on him and have that asshat arrested... how stupid can a person be? Isn't it their idea not to be caught? Lmao.
JFurr 9
I doubt there's any evidence other than OP's word. I don't think that's enough for an arrest. But I'd give props to OP for being able to identify his or her attacker as well as not getting mugged. It says "tried to mug me". Way to go!
emilyjgraham 34
There's a small possibility if on the same day or clothes had not been washed that there could still be fingerprints on them, if they had touched them at all. Just a small chance, but it might be worth something :)
loves2fight 5
Haha. I've never heard anyone call someone else an "asshat" love it :) I wanna use that word now
