Miscellaneous: Mind your own business

Mind your own business

Today, I was at the airport when I saw a woman drop her bags and run to her husband. Thinking that someone might steal them, I picked up her bags and brought them over to her. She thanked me by slapping me, calling me a bitch and calling security. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. 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

It's not what you think

Today, I helped an elderly woman carry her suitcase down a flight of stairs. When I got to the bottom, a man tackled me to the ground thinking I was stealing the woman's luggage. As I lay in pain, he ran up the stairs to return the suitcase and the poor woman had to carry it down on her own. FML

Today, I was walking through a rough part of town, when a woman screamed that I'd stolen her bag. I was tackled to the ground by a large guy, who then gave my bag to her. FML

Today, I saw a drunk woman drop her purse in the street. I picked it up and went to give it to her, only for her to scream at me for being a thief. Then she started crying, apologized and hugged me, then got angry again, and finally threw up on me. FML

Today, I was boarding a plane and an elderly woman asked if I could put her carry on into the overhead bin. Eager to help, I energetically lifted her bag up, and smacked her in the face with it. FML

Today, I was working as a cashier and a woman brought up a suitcase. As I was ringing her up I checked inside like I'm supposed to and I very jokingly say, "Look at all the stuff you're stealing." She laughed nervously then hit me in the head with her heavy purse before running out of the store. FML

Today, while at the mall, a lady dropped her credit card while in line to buy something. I came over, picked it up and gave it to her just for her to shove it in my hand and scream, "She's stealing my wallet! My wallet!" The police came. FML

Today, I was picking up my 10 year old step-son from the airport. He began screaming and crying saying that I wasn't his father. I ended up sitting in a holding room because the security guards thought I was kidnapping him. My wife thought it was hilarious. FML

The strangeness of strangers

By wellalrightythen - 09/02/2015 06:23 - United States - Hobart

Today, I boarded a plane. A woman decided that she didn't like where she'd put her carry on luggage and pulled it out from over my head. The heavy luggage then fell right onto my face, the wheel smacking me in the mouth and busting my lip open. She just laughed and waltzed away without a word. FML

Any nice deed that is done now is seen as a crime...it's so sad.

A good deed gone bad.

FML has taught me a lesson. No good deed goes unpunished. There is a chance you can get mugged, knocked out with a pan, slapped in the face or called a pedophile or a pervert.

Well, I wouldn't see the point of posting fml when everything's alright. Thus, the only stories you see here are those that finish badly for the Good Samaritan :)

Well, you are one of the people that restored my faith in humanity. Then she made me lose it.

Maybe keeping an eye on them would have been a better idea, OP. I can see why picking up someone's bags without their permission (even if you're doing it as a good deed) might freak some people out. Especially at an airport, where people are already tetchy and in bad moods. :(

People like her are the same people that would've stolen unattended bags in the first place. Don't worry, OP, you're the better person!

How can you possibly make that kind of leap? Really. She doesn't want her unattended bags touched, so she would steal someone else's unattended bags? Huh?! That makes no sense.

No good deed goes unpunished, don't let this stop you from being a good person OP.

I never understood why people become so overcome with emotion they shed their belongings, run to the person, then get upset someone stole their shit. You left it unattended in an airport, when security is still on high alert for unattended bags. Best to rush to your husband, then drop your bags when you are beside him.

Not that I think you deserved to get slapped but why touch her bags at all? She knowingly dropped them and probably would go back there and retrieve them (where she put them) after hugging her husband. What she didn't expect was to have her stuff touched at all-- by a thief or anyone else for that matter.

She touched her bags because she was trying to do her a favour. I would have done the same thing, in an attempt to be nice. You say "She knowingly dropped them and probably would go back there and retrieve them (where she put them) after hugging her husband. What she didn't expect was to have her stuff touched at all-- by a thief or anyone else for that matter." Right, by a thief. OP was trying to prevent a thief (or airport security) from getting to them. They probably wouldn't have been there to retrieve after she was done. BESIDES, haven't you ever been in an airport? Unattended luggage is a safety problem. Plus, it's pretty inconsiderate to leave your ******* luggage in the middle of walkway where people are trying to catch a plane. You're an idiot. FYL, OP.
