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!

Just Because he's homeless doesn't mean hes dirt poor.

This sounds like it should be in GMH, not FML.

I agree with 151, this belongs on GMH. That was so nice of him!

that man is an amazing person. he knows what is really important in life. you should be grateful that he was the one standing in line behind you. most people wouldn't offer to do something like that.

Oh and by the way? If you really need to bitch to people, why don't you comment on some of the other posts here on FML instead? The person who decided to throw rocks at a sleeping homeless person, for instance? I hope you can appreciate the fact that not everyone who writes FML means that their entire life is shit, or even the entire situation. For me, it was embarrassing, and funny in an ironic way. The rest of the situation is of course not something I would ever consider as something that "*****" my life.

Obviously it was your fault for letting your account go over the limit and not knowing that it was over. You were lucky. Much of the time, those that aren't as well off are the best type of people.

How the **** is this an FML? A HOMELESS guy helped you pay for your lunch, while he probably doesn't always have enough money to pay for his own. That was amazingly kind of him. You should appreciate it rather than be beyond snobby and bitch it. You disgust me.
