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.

That homeless man did something that no home owner, or person with money to waste, would do. A very nice man :)

I can't believe this. A homeless man who needs the money way more than you do gives you money and this is an FML for you?

This should totally be on GMH instead.

That guy is such a good person.

thats actuallyreally sweet of him pay it forward and such being homeless is usually such a dog eat dog situation u hould feel special and pay it forward

Alright, so even though he is one of the kindest persons ever, you still manage to bitch about it and YOU EVEN LOOK DOWN ON HIM? Jeez >.

that was extremely nice of him, he could have used that money to buy himself something, and instead he decided to reciprocate generosity that people have shown him by helping you. you should have been grateful.

this sounds like a GMH not a FML
