Today, I was walking home from when I passed an old woman sitting on the curb of Walmart begging for change. I gave her my last dollar and felt good about it. Five minutes later I saw the same woman driving away in a car. I don't even own a car. FML

Today, I was driving back home after hanging out with some friends. I drove pass a woman standing next to a broken down car. I felt bad, so went back and offered her a ride home. Turns out it wasn't her car and she was a hooker. FML

Today, I saw a homeless man on the corner, I thought I would be generous and give him some cash. I rolled down my window and waved my hand for him to come over. As he was walking over, he was struck by another car. FML

Checked out

Today, an elderly woman couldn't afford all of her groceries at the checkout so she started to take out a few things. I offered to pay for her groceries; she thanked me and walked out. An onlooker then came up to me and told me that she does it to someone every week. FML

Carry her home

Today, I helped an elderly woman push her grocery cart around the store, and look for her vehicle after she'd paid. After we spent ages wandering around trying to find her car, she remembered that she'd taken the bus today. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman in need of help of crossing a street. I helped her across. On the way she just about fell and held onto me to keep from hitting the ground. After she left on her bus I reached for my wallet. It was gone. I had just been robbed by a 70 year old. FML

No good deed…

Today, I was sitting on the bus to the gym. I saw that an old woman needed help to get off the bus, so I got up, and helped her off. When I had finally got her down the stairs the bus closed the doors and drove away. I was in the middle of nowhere and the bus drove away with all my things. FML

Today, I gave a homeless man my last bit of spare change so he could get on the bus. Just as I was about to get on too, I realized I'd lost my bus card. I had to get off the bus and watch as the man waved at me through the window. FML

Today, on my way to work, I noticed a woman on the side of the road waving for help, her car appearing to be broken down. I pulled over, stepped out of my car, went over to her car, lifted the hood, and checked it. When I looked up to tell her what was wrong, she and my car were gone. FML

Today, while I was walking home, a homeless man saw me and didn't ask for change, but how much I charged. FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when a little old lady bumped into me and fell over. I helped her up and she thanked me for being "such a nice young man". It was only an hour later as I was in line at the store that I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet. FML

That's why I dont give money to homeless people, half the time they are professional street walkers.

Don't give people money. Ever. I don't care how poor they are. If you're DYING to be a good Samaritan (and I don't mean feeling guilty that you're well-off and they're not, I mean you really, REALLY enjoy giving people stuff, almost to the point that it gets you off), then maybe, POSSIBLY you can give them some food or an article of clothing you bought a vintage shop. Even then I wouldn't suggest it. But never ******* EVER give them money! Never. YDI.

Awuh that sucks, what a bitch. I would have threw rocks at her car. Not all beggers are alcholics, thought I'd throw that out there. There are quite a few, but I guess since I'm from New Orleans the only reason they are out there is because of the storm. But seriously I'd throw rocks or something at her car, break a window.

quit whining b/c you don't have a car and now you're out a whole dollar. having a car doesn't mean you have money. maybe if you had said, "she drove away in a really nice car." but you didn't. so stop complaining. if she's willing to reduce herself to begging for money she's obviously down on her luck. you did a nice thing, leave it at that.
