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, 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, a man came up to me and asked for a $50 bill in change. Being a good man, I said sure. I gave him the change and he gave me the $50 bill. After walking into Starbucks to buy a coffee, I handed the cashier my $50 bill. She called the cops. It was counterfeit. FML

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 passed a homeless person asking for change. When I politely apologized and told him that I had none, he yelled angrily, "Who comes to this city without money?" I replied, "Apparently, you do." Wrong answer. He followed me, now screaming. FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when a man behind me tapped me on the shoulder. He gave a $5 bill and said that he thought I had dropped it. Not having the integrity to turn him down, I took it. I spent the next 20 minutes being chased by a crazy hobo who claimed that it was his. FML

Today, my friend and I walked 3 miles to a Starbucks. We went inside, paid for our coffees and walked the 3 miles back to my house. We forgot to pick up our coffees. FML

Today, I was walking down the street when a homeless man asked me for some spare change. I told him I didn't have any. I then tripped. Not only spilling the soda I was drinking all over myself, but also spilling the spare change I had from buying it. FML

Today, I was sitting in the park eating a sandwich, when a homeless guy asked me for some spare change. I said I didn't have any. He offered an "erotic striptease" in exchange for my sandwich. I said no. He gave one anyway. I walked back to work on an empty stomach. FML

Haha. This happened to me once, just keep on walking and drop a couple of quarters to keep him occupied while you make an escape.

Maybe the bum should've got an education an made something out of his life. Anyone can get a job right out of Highschool and Earn enough money for college. That bum can go to hell an stfu. No one has to do anything for him. There are shelters that will help him anyways. All he wants is either drugs alcohol or special food because he's an ungrateful lazy loser.

really? have you ever thought that the dude is a bum because he's mentally unstable? that's what a majority of homeless in Chicago are... (plus the following for blocks to me seems more mental than anything) and in this economy... no, not everyone can get a damn job. I have a college degree, and I spent well over a year job searching after graduation.

Don't buy from Starbucks. It's run by the evil elite who oppress people in third world countries and doesn't make you cool to buy a $5 coffee.

How would he know? You could have payed using a credit card or one of those free drink gift cards.

I'm all for giving homeless people money but he was an idiot to think that you actually owed him anything. It's up to you if you don't want to give him anything.

umm. yeah.. I never have cash. I would've turned around and said that to him right away. "I don't have cash, I only have a card, and I am not about to give my card to a stranger."
