Today, I saw an old man struggling with three bags, so I offered to carry them for him. He must not have heard me because when I bent down to take the bags, he thought I was stealing them and punched me in the face. FML

I guess you should have waited for an answer.

Next time, make sure you get a response before picking up a strangers' bags

You do realize that old people are like animals who don't know you and they can be a little senile so you have to approach with caution. 1. Always approach from the front, not the rear 2. Make eye contact 3. Then ask permission to pet or aid while slowly allowing them to look at or sniff your hand 4. Let them approach you or confirm that they are willing to accept your help Simple. Try that and you might not get punched again.

But for a bad action punishment may be twice as harsh.

Luckily when you bent down he didn't give you anal.

At least u were being a good Samaritan (:

Although slow and dangerous behind the wheel old people still pack a punch.

That must of been the most fun he's had in years.

Haha! Yeah I'll bet he went back to the retirement home and was like "fellas, you're never going to believe this..."

Well, did you start jumping up and down while flinging your arms to catch his attention before speaking? There's your problem!

He probably did hear you, it's just that he probably felt like punching someone in the face.

True, OP probably hurt his aging manly pride. Still... punching a woman? He must've been very cranky.
