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!

Sounds like a very gracious man, homeless or not. If by some crazy chance you ever see him again, you should repay the favor and buy him lunch.

you sir, are a snobby, rude, selfish loser that needs to learn the definition of the word "Appreciate" that teaches you a lesson, you should donate to homeless charities or something if your so rich

This is a GMH, not an FML. Whoever typed this thinking "my life sucks" is grossly misinformed, and those who let it through moderation are severely shallow. I pity you and your impassionate take on life. I pity your failure to see what actions from other people really translate out to. You should feel so lucky and appreciate that there are people (unlike yourself) that are willing to sacrifice important necessities in order to benefit other people. Selfish.

Any sensible man would have taken that pound and thank him profusely. Then next time when you go to eat there, buy the homeless man (providing he was there) lunch. You're a ******* joke. All I have to say to the OP is a resounding **** YOU!

dude, Bums make a lot of money for doing nothing :/ If you can, it would be nice to try and repay him, but you are not obligated and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I know I'm WAY after the fact on this one, but maybe the person wasn't homeless. You make the assumption because s/he was straggly looking and/or smelly, but chances are s/he's not THAT tight on money if s/he had a pound to spare. I mean, it's very kind in any case, but if this were a person who literally couldn't afford to feed, house, and clothe him/herself, I think she'd be saving that money for necessities.
