Today, I found a guy getting out of my car with my GPS. He started running and I chased him. We eventually reached a dead end and he gave it back to me. I took it back from him and said, "Sorry..." FML

Today, my neighbour casually mentioned that he sold my car's GPS that I'd let him borrow. He figured I wouldn't be needing it anymore since I lost my license. FML

Today, a stranger asked to borrow my phone since his had died. As he was using it, he kept walking away and I had to chase him because he was walking too far. He turned around, yelled, "Stop following me, asshole!" and punched me, knocking me out cold. When I came to, I realized the fucker stole my phone. FML

Today, I was looking at the map on my phone whilst walking down a street. I heard the sound of a bike behind me so I moved to let the cyclist past. He snatched the phone out of my hand and sped off. FML

Today, my "friend" came over. I caught him trying to steal my iPod on the way out. Proud of myself for catching him, I asked him to leave, only to realize that I had forgotten to actually take the iPod back from him before he left. FML

Today, as I was coming out of the ladies' room, I saw a guy glancing at me. A few minutes later, I saw him coming at me at a fast rate. I decided to run from him. As I got out of the building and into a cab, I saw him from the window waving my phone at me. He was just trying to return it. FML

Double trouble

Today, I was sitting on my bike texting when someone snatched my phone and ran. Like an idiot, I jumped off my bike and ran after him. He then ran in a big circle, got on my bike and sped off. FML

Today, I handed my friend his phone, telling him he'd forgotten it. He responded by taking his phone out of his pocket and showing it to me. I then realized I was holding MY phone. FML

Today, I felt a tug on my backpack and found my wallet missing. A nice stranger pointed to a guy running down the stairs and said "There goes the guy who took your wallet!" I ran to catch the supposed offender. The 'nice' stranger was the actual offender distracting me as he got away. FML

By ParanoidFreak - 31/12/2009 09:31 - United States

Today, after I got in my car in the Walmart parking lot, a creepy man knocked on my window. Since I'm incredibly paranoid and scare easily, I put my car in gear and tore out of there, accidentally hitting another car. Apparently he was returning my phone that I dropped. FML

Today, on the way home, a guy yelled "Hey, YOU!" from behind me, so I walked faster. He ran up to me, shouting, "I said stop, asshole!" I almost pissed myself in fear, thinking I was being mugged. Turns out I'd left my wallet at the grocery store, and he was just trying to return it. FML

OP could have recovered from the slip by quickly punching the guy in the face. Then the apology would've made sense!

That sounds more like FHL. "Today, I stole a GPS. The guy saw me, chased me down the street, and I had to awkwardly give it back to him. FML"

Actually: "Today, as I was trying to run off with some dude's GPS (which he'd left in his unlocked car), he saw me and began to chase me. How did he catch me? I hit a dead end. Guess I should have turned the GPS on. I was so pathetic that he apologized for having to chase me down and get his own GPS back. FML."

It's called reinforcing the behavior. He was probably taught to always be polite as he was growing up. So his reaction came naturally to him. And yes, I just replied to a comment more than 5 years later lol.

Totally sounds like somethin I'd do. My social teacher wished me luck on my exam once and I said "yea you too." :s Speech isn't everybody's strong point I guess. Don't feel too bad. =]

People do that all the time at the movie theater I work at. We're supposed to tell them to enjoy the movie, and a lot of people say back, "You, too!" It's really funny, especially when they get embarrassed for saying it. :P
