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

#7: Not if you knew the money wasn't yours. if you really had the integrity, you wouldn't have accepted the money in the first place.

The point is if the hobo's chasing you you don't wanna stop for anything. Even giving him the money. You should've thrown the money to the side and ran away when the hobo went to pick it up.

wow you're retarded, maybe it WAS his and he needed it to buy something important such as food (clearly he needed it as he spent 20 minutes chasing after you) and what were you going to buy with it, nail polish? for god's sake just give it to him, it could have really been his, and even if it wasn't god knows he needs it more than you... i hate it when people refuse to treat homeless people like human beings...

I think the poster is saying that the person who gave her the money was the hobo. But it could have just been the way I read it.

That's how I read it too and was extremely confused by the comments until I figured it out :) I think the man is someone other than the hobo. She probably would've made it clear if it was the same person.

Umm, it doesn't take integrity to take it! It takes integrity to refuse because it wasn't yours in the first place! That man who thought it was yours had integrity. You were just being greedy and selfish. So it's no surprise that karma bit you in the butt for it... 

she said "NOT having the integrity to turn him down."
