Today, I saw an elderly man struggling to make it across a busy street. I jumped up from my table at Starbucks to help him, leaving my things behind. When I got back to my table feeling good, I found that my coffee had disappeared. So had my wallet. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman in need of help of crossing a street. I helped her across. On the way she just about fell and held onto me to keep from hitting the ground. After she left on her bus I reached for my wallet. It was gone. I had just been robbed by a 70 year old. FML

Today, I helped a "blind" man across the street. He kindly said thank you and patted me on the back. Then, I went into a store and realized my wallet was missing. FML

Today, while getting out of Starbucks there was a homeless guy. I bought him a coffee and he was so happy he gave me a hug. Guess whose wallet is missing? FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when a little old lady bumped into me and fell over. I helped her up and she thanked me for being "such a nice young man". It was only an hour later as I was in line at the store that I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet. FML

Today, I saw an elderly man fall in a crosswalk, so I jumped off my bike to help. As I helped him across, the light turned green. I then watched across a 6 lane street as someone stole my bike. FML

Today, at the supermarket, a man collapsed. I gave CPR while the cashier called for help. During this, the other patrons were complaining that no other register was open. Once the ambulance arrived, I returned to my cart to find items removed and 40 dollars taken from my purse. FML

Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. 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

You TOTALLY deserved this. Don't get me wrong, it was nice of you to help out the old man, but why did you just leave your wallet on the table? Why didn't you immediately put it away once you finished paying for your drink?

What the hell was your wallet doing out in the first place? Nice boost of Karma, but you kinda deserved it.

That one cup of coffee probably drained her wallet anyway, so just worry about the ID :)

And to add on to your YDI for being stupid comment, OP also deserves to rot in hell for another lame made up helping the old ***** (excuse me "folks) and getting diddled in the ass five ways to Monday story. ******* wankers are getting on my nerves, and obviously, I'm calling total bullshit.

75 has a good point--check with the coffee shop staff? And if it was stolen, the old man was probably in on it. If I was an old man, I would use my arthritis for evil.

What do you think would happen if you left your wallet unattended in a public place?

So what? Just because some people in this world go around stealing wallets doesn't mean there aren't others (aka more than one person) who still do nice things for people.

Idiot, why would you leave your WALLET on the table in a public place to go help some guy across the street? At least take it with you. You definitely deserve this.

So people deserve their things stolen? With that logic, I could just go out, jump in a car that was parked outside of a home and drive away with it and say "They deserved it".
