Today, at a supermarket entrance, a seemingly drunk old lady said, "Sir?" as I passed by. I just ignored her and walked in. When I walked out with my groceries fifteen minutes later, several people were standing around her, calling for an ambulance. She'd passed out on the ground. FML

Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Today, at the supermarket, an old lady asked for directions to the produce aisle. Having read way too many stories lately on this very site about awful elderly folks, I was wary, but helped her out. She gave me an awkward hug in thanks, lifting my wallet in the process, as I later found out. FML

Today, an old lady asked me the way to the shopping mall. The shopping mall was not too far away, but I could see that the lady could barely walk so I offered to drive her there. She smacked my car's door into a pole while getting in my car. She didn't even notice that she'd done something wrong. FML

Today, I was walking out of a grocery store. I hit the button on my key to open the trunk, which hit an old lady just under her chin and knocked her to the ground. As she laid there, she pointed a shaky, bony finger at me and yelled that she would sue me for everything I have. FML

Today, I was at the mall, when I saw an elderly lady drop her groceries, so I rushed over to help her pick them up. She took one look at me, called me a "Liberal bastard," and shouted for me to get away from her before she called the cops. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML

Today, I saw an elderly lady fall over in the street. Nobody bothered to do anything, so I went over and helped her up. Instead of thanking me, she called me a pervert and slapped me around with her cane. FML

Weird old lady of the day

Today, I was at the supermarket when an elderly lady asked if I'd grab some coffee for her from a high shelf. The moment I took my hands off my almost-full shopping cart, she made off with it. I ended up getting thrown out by security after she claimed I was trying to steal it from her. FML

Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML

Today, I was in a grocery store with my great-grandmother. It would've been nice to know she hadn't taken her medication before she started beating the cashier with her umbrella. FML

I don't see why you wouldn't have just asked what she needed, instead of ignoring her COMPLETELY... :/

Why did you ignore her?! Even as a courtesy you should at least see what's wrong and if she looks bad get help for her!

I gotta defend this guy and point out that there was really no reason to stop just because some stranger tried to say hi, which from the person's point of view was what she was trying to do. I know I do the same thing because I'm a fairly shy person who tends to avoid strangers, especially ones trying to get to talk to me out of the blue. I find it very odd and probably would've walked away at a quick pace myself. Everyone needs to stop acting so high and mighty about what they would've done, and be honest with themselves. 9 out of 10 times you aren't going to stop for some random stranger who's talking to you for no apparent reason.

Your second point was unnecessary. You cannot judge an entire group of people of what they would do in situations like this. "9 times out of 10..." And yeah? Have you met these people? Have you ever seen their qualities, morality, and their personality to come up with such a statistic? No. Hell, i'm shy and I would notice anyone calling to me.

That's not the point, genius. You also contradict yourself. You cannot speak for them either, as you ALSO do not know if they would or would not. You cannot justify defending them.

I know I would've stopped, but holy mother of Mary and Joseph. Common flipping sense? On the internet? Poor old lady indeed, but these people are the biggest bunch of idiots I've ever seen. I have $50 that says at least HALF of you fell for the Kony 2012 bullshit. (Unlike what I told #161, I don't know for sure. I'd be gambling. Suck it.)

I'm glad I gave a homeless guy my water bottle on this hot day. Even if the person seems off it doesn't hurt to give them an ear. Like for me, It turned out the rude demanding homeless guy was just really dehydrated & miserable & needed something to drink.
