Money, Weird and Awkward: Free hugs

Free hugs

By Anonymous - 25/07/2009 05:19 - United States

Today, I was walking down the strip with a friend when we saw a homeless man with no arm. I felt bad, so I gave him some cash and I looked into his poor little eyes when he put out his arm for a hug. Without thinking, I hugged him. Right as I was thinking, "WTF am I doing?" he kissed my boob. FML

Today, I met with a friend who had gained some weight since I saw him last. After a friendly hug, I put my hand on his new man boob and, without thinking, left it there way too long. I realized that I was groping him and, in a panic, did the only thing I could think of. I patted it. Twice. FML

Today, I ended up talking to a homeless man and bought him a meal. In return, he hugged me and groped my ass. FML

Today, I was at a local restaurant. The girl that I like walked by so I tried to give her a high five. My hand ended up on her boob instead. FML

Today, I was walking on a main street downtown. Suddenly, I felt someone slap my butt. I turned around, expecting to be my girlfriend who was to meet me there and almost gave an old homeless man a kiss on the cheek. FML

Today, while I was volunteering at the homeless shelter, one of them "accidentally" kissed me. It felt like my face was being sucked by a vacuum. FML

Today, while walking to work, I saw a homeless guy with a funny "NEED MONEY 4 BOOZE" sign, so I gave him a few spare dollars for his humor. On my way back home, he was out cold on the sidewalk with several empty bottles beside him. Whoops. FML

Today, trying to be friendly, I said good morning to the creepy guy at work. He responded by wordlessly hugging me. I was touched, until I realized he was trying to unhook my bra. FML

Today, I went skinny-dipping with my best friend. We were on the beach and it was fairly crowded but we got in the water at this really secluded area. While we were swimming I looked up to see a homeless man wearing my clothes, walking away. FML

Today, I went to hug my husband and give him a kiss. He flinched away and asked what I was doing, because I apparently never hug him, so he thought I might be about to prank him or something. Now I feel bad. 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

FYL for trying to be nice to someone and they just being stupid about it, but YDI for not being a liiiittle more careful about your chest placement during a hug... and more careful about hugs in the first place. It was sweet of you, though.

oh, I totally get how this is a FML... Wait! No I don't. Yuck, you touched a homeless man. Go take a shower, quick. He might have cooties.

I don't think the problem is hugging hobos, the problem is hugging strangers, period. Its pretty nice of you to give the guy money but seriously, hugging anyone you don't know is putting yourself at risk, imo. Having a personal space bubble is always a good idea.

You know, I usually think of homeless people as genuine human beings... but judging by most of the comments and FML's on this site, I'm in the minority.

Listen, I don't make a practice of hugging strangers (homeless or otherwise). This isn't about treating someone like a human being, this is about taking a stupid risk for no apparent reason. Even the OP isn't sure why she hugged this random hobo.

#75 - I totally agree. These comments make me sad :( To the OP - good on you for giving him a hug. FYL that he decided to milk it for all it was worth ( no pun intended ;P )

@skullbuster: yeah, I agree, the OP was pretty stupid... I was referring to some of the comments... it would seem that homeless people are on about the same level of being as animals to a lot of the people here.

There is no serious risk in hugging a hobo. They're not sewer rats.

Wow why is everyone getting all bent out of shape. I once read an FML about an OP grabbing his/her grandmas tit BY ACCIDENT thinking it was a shoulder. I'm sure the OP is either making it up or overreacting. So are the rest of you. I'm glad there's at least one person up there who looks at homeless people as human beings though. (#75)
