Today, a man came up to me at the bus stop. He went into this long story about how his girlfriend is pregnant and they both haven't eaten in days. Trying to be tough and funny I said back, "sounds like you should invest in condoms instead of food." He responded by beating and robbing me. FML

Hello Folks, I'm the OP. Because of the character limit I couldn't get in all the information so I just left the guts of it. The hobo that attacked me is a guy who's come up to me before and has had different stories. He's either: A vietnam vet (despite he's about 30), a broke composer, or the pregnant one. I finally had enough and decided to say something other than "Nope, no change". I don't care how malnourished anyone is, a swift kick in the nuts and you're going down on the ground. So I've now been beaten by the smelly hobo, The other people at the bus stop were helpful enough to sit there and watch me get beaten and robbed. I've reported it to the cops, so we'll see what happens. (Keep up the comments, they make me smile, even the rude one's who don't seem to notice their hypocrisy calling me a douche or a dick or whatever when all I did was pretty much the same thing. A hypocrite is a legless man who teaches track.)

You should have just gave him a couple bucks in the first place to buy food for him and his wife and child. But you decided to be a dick, so he took beat your ass. Do you really think a starving pregnant woman and her baby is worth joking about?

A legless man teaching track isn't hypocrisy, it's irony.

As my Dad always said, some people are paid to be funny and others get their asses kicked. Guess you figured out which group you belong in. Next time keep your lousy opinions to yourself.

you had a point, if people can't afford to feed themselves its ******* retarded of them to risk pregnancy -- or maybe the baby is the one thats going to be retarded due to malnutrition in the development stages. not quite a fyl though cause it's also pretty stupid to dig at unstable idiots

Not too many people get your keen sense of humor, I'm afraid. lol. But I'm sorry to hear you got hurt and robbed :/

I find it surprising people are blaming the OP for making fun of a starving guy and then getting beaten up by him. The following seems plausible 1) Hobo makes up a story in order to get money. 2) OP makes smart-ass remark indicating (to me) disbelief, and a suggestion that if true, the hobo was responsible for his situation. 3) Hobo gets angry at OP's disbelief (even if he was lying or the OP's remarks about responsibility were justified) 4) Hobo beats up OP. Seriously though, you shouldn't lip off at someone unless you can defend yourself.

Don't say things that piss people off if you can't defend yourself.

#12, I've heard worse. I went to college in a town where there was a man and his girlfriend who told us about how his son in Bakersfield was in a terrible accident and in critical condition. He asked me and my friends for money for train tickets. Turns out he's been telling that story to everyone in town for the past 7 YEARS. Anyone who actually believed that bullshit story has obviously never dealt with crackheads.

He was probably just trying to figure out how to ask for some help/change before you pissed him off with that.

I love how so many people on this site think that the beggars are always telling the truth. There are a LOT of "homeless" people out there that just go around begging so they can get money for free. There's a guy that sits a block down from my mom's work every saturday, begging for change, and she knows for a fact that he lives in an apartment, has a wife, dogs and a car, and has plenty of money for food (he's a client at her work.) Yet he sits there in dirty, hole-y clothes, so he can get free money. Just because someone looks homeless and thinks up a good sob story doesn't mean you're obligated to dish out your own cash. I work hard for my money and I'll be damned if I'm just going to hand it out to the first person with a sad story. Bigger cities = more lazy people = more beggars. I'm not saying that there aren't real homeless people that need money, and I do occasionally give out a few bucks if the person really and truly looks down and out... but sometimes its impossible to tell between the two, and in no way should people feel guilty for not giving away their money. We don't owe them anything.

Your dad should've invested in condoms so accidents like you wouldn't be ripping on people that need help.
