Today, I went to buy lunch at a grocery store. The total was 3 pounds, and my card got rejected for insufficient funds. I fished about for change, and found I only had 2 pounds. A homeless man behind me in the queue then offered to give me the remaining pound. A homeless man paid my lunch. FML

Hi everyone, I'm the one who posted this. First of all. Of course I thanked him! and of course I could have gotten a cheaper lunch, I was going to in fact, but he offered, and insisted, so I accepted, and was very thankful. All of you who keep saying I'm a heartless bitch should have considered that I was commenting on the irony of it and that I was embarassed, instead of saying how my life sucked because someone was nice to me. I thought it was a funny story. I got the impression that many of the stories on this site are funny rather than tragic. I could of course have written he gave it to me and i was super thankful etc etc, but I thought that was kind of implied. Oh and about the currency. My lunch was 31 kroner. But as I currently live and study in the UK, i'm used to thinking in pounds and thought that would be easier for the majority of FML readers. But apparently that makes me a fake, sorry guys! And I do in fact give money to charity and homeless people. Not long ago I gave one man my last 8 pounds (this was in the UK), so he could buy a decent meal, figuring I would be OK until I got home 5 hours later. So those of you who got the irony and embarassement, thanks!

...you took money from a homeless man...wow

This FML shows how crappy this site really is. This is not an FML, it is more of a "oh shoot, I forgot my money and some guy gave me some change to help me." FYL for being a twat. Hopefully you are hot, so guys can use you as an object and treat you like crap because that seems like how you treat other people.

"Today I saw a woman who was buying her lunch, but didn't have enough so I offered to pay for the rest. The next day, I find this woman has posted on FML assuming I was a homeless man. FML."

and why would you use pounds in Norway, not KR.? YDI for posting fake fmls

women shouldn't drive. thats about as respectful and intelligent a post as the one you just wrote. the point being that this was a fake fml/not an fml at all. Marthe, jeg vedder på at 1) du er ikke fra Oslo 2)du er feit

I thought in Norway they used the kronor just like Sweden, goes to show how much I know :< Anyway, maybe you'll pack your lunch next time!

Hey he did something nice for you. this isn't an fml. you should be grateful.

Not really an FML. You paid for your lunch, he just gave you a pound.

you should be grateful that someone with so little to give helped you out!
