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 playing devil's advocate here OP prob considers this an fml because she was forced to go to a homeless man for money, not saying wht she was right the guy prob did it in hopes for something in return

ydi, can't believe you had to take a homeless mans money

YDI, for being ungrateful. That homeless man doesn't have much, but at least he has generosity.

wowww, what a jerk. you shouldn't have accepted money from that poor man. get less food or just skip the meal, maybe it'd make you more grateful for what you have.

...Are you serious? You HAVE a home, but can't pay for lunch? AND a homeless person is waiting in line to "eat out"? AND you can still pay for Internet to post that comment? FRAWD

So what? A homeless man paid for you lunch? At least you go to eat!

WOW, A ******* Homeless Man Helped You. How The **** Is You Life ******. Your A ******* Idiot. Have A Good Day Bitch.

how is this a fml? your ungrateful.

You're so ungrateful. Embarrassed or not, you seem to consider yourself superior to that homeless man. Having a home doesn't automatically boost your status.
