Today, I spent hours playing my guitar and singing in the street, hoping to make some extra cash. About 3 hours in, I realized some punk had been walking around with a hat taking money as if he was with me. FML

Wow, I hope you confronted him. That's just wrong, OP. Sorry. :C

Did you bash the guitar on his head? I hear it sounds a lot like a Nickelback song

what a genius. I'm going to have try this!

That was the IRS, collecting the taxes.

That's horrible, FYL....I am surprised it took you three whole hours to notice it though...

I had to read this out loud to try to make sense of it.... Still couldn't...

What busker-ed, show him a chord or too and strum his head in.

You should have grabbbed the hat with the cash and said thanks.

Wow! That guy has balls to do that. There's this homeless guy that comes around my job's neighbourhood. He owns a dog that carries around a bucket in his mouth begging for money. He gets a lot of attention and cash!!! Do you own a dog? Just dropping an idea out there for your next cash collection. (:

How did it take you three hours to notice? Hope you got the money though.

You should've gone up to him and stole it. That sucks

Technically wouldn't be stealing. Unless OP took the hat as well, I suppose.

Technically, it _would_ be stealing, whether or not he took the hat. What the other guy did wasn't particularly nice, but nor was it illegal, unless he actually said he was the OP's partner or something, or the location in question has laws against panhandling. Simply walking around with a hat and collecting money is perfectly okay, and the fact the guy took advantage of peoples' assumptions makes him kinda clever, even if he's a douche.

But it also means people really liked you music, if you do it again you can make a lot of money. (they guy who robbed you wouldn't have done it if you sounded terrible and nobody cared to give you money)
