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, I was walking on the street when a woman in front of me dropped a couple of dollars. I picked them up and chased her to return it all. She insisted that it wasn't hers. I tried to tell her it was, but she wouldn't accept it. A cop saw me and arrested me for solicitation. FML

Today, I went to a carnival. While walking around with my cousin, I saw a one hundred dollar bill on the ground. Just before I stepped on it, a man grabbed it. His words? "Don't you just hate it when that happens?" And he walked away. FML

Today, trying to do a good deed, I gave a homeless guy a $10 bill. As I walked away, he yelled after me, "You fucking bitch!" FML

Today, I picked up a penny off the street for good luck on my job interview. A few seconds later, a hobo beat me up, took my wallet, and ran off. The whole ordeal made me late for the interview. So much for good luck. FML

Today, a man approached my delivery van and asked for change for a $5 bill. I guess I should've expected him to grab the change and run off with the extra money. FML

Today, on the way home, a guy yelled "Hey, YOU!" from behind me, so I walked faster. He ran up to me, shouting, "I said stop, asshole!" I almost pissed myself in fear, thinking I was being mugged. Turns out I'd left my wallet at the grocery store, and he was just trying to return it. FML

Today, while coming out of Walmart, I dropped a $50 bill. Some kid came running up after me yelling, "Hey mister, you dropped this!" as he ran past me laughing. FML

Today, I was walking down the street and noticed a man in ripped clothes with a cup out asking for money. I was on my way to the movies but I felt like this man needed it more that me. Right as I gave it to him, he pulled out his blackberry. 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

there are a lot more sides to this than people are considering. i'll start this rant by saying, i wouldn't have allowed a homeless person to chase me over $5, but it's possible that the person who wrote this needed it. also, i live in one of the largest cities in the US and see homeless people all the time, and i volunteer in homeless shelters. a lot of the people who live on the streets are there due to addiction. money that you give them will go straight to drugs or alcohol. i've even run into a few cases where people dress and act homeless so they can just panhandle. it's better to just buy them a meal or tell them where the nearest location to a shelter is(trust me, it will do them so much better to know where they can get some sleep). also, i'm starting to believe most of you are only reading parts of what was written. the "hobo" handed it to this person; if it was his, he wouldn't have done that. obviously, this person realizes that the action they chose would be seen as shameful to most; it's stated in the message. so, please, don't call a stranger names when you're only seeing one side to a situation. i'm not saying that they were right or wrong, i just think that there is a lot more to any story than what people are able to see or hear.

The problem is this FML is pretty unclear, you kinda have to guess whether the man was the hobo. But otherwise your "rant" makes perfect sense. :)

"not having the integrity to turn him down"? why would you need integrity to turn down money. YDI for lying; you should have just told him that it wasn't yours or just give it to the hobo.

How do you even know that the 5 $ was the hobo's money? I mean, he IS a hobo, they don't have a decent income for crying out loud. Either he found it or stole it himself (I assume he, himself, had found it). Even so, if I was that said person who was given the money, I would have taken it. And I wouldn't have given it back either. Why give it back if they probably are going to waste it on alcohol or shiz like that?
