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!

When Christmas Ends Badly…
Rather than debating politics with Uncle Roger for the umpteenth time, share the best Christmas FMLs to finally have a good family meal! More…

Well if he was in line to get something, then he already had the money to eat.

what he's saying is that that was probably part of his money to eat

What if she made an assumption that he was homeless, rather than a construction worker or something? It's not like when someone lends you a buck you inquire as to their status of wealth.

I was thinking the same thing. tomorrow we'll see an FML, "Today, I gave money to this lady for lunch. She F***ed her life, because she thought I was homeless. I'm not. FML."

I don't get why this is a FML. Your lunch was paid for; you didn't even have to *ask* for it, someone offered it out of kindness. Jesus, does your pride matter that much to you that accepting a pound from a homeless man is FML-worthy?

The fact that he has no home doesn't imply he can't be nice to people. He had one pound, and you needed one. It's not terrible, it's incredibly great. The poor, sometimes, are the ones who give the most. Would you have done the same thing?

Well said #26! It was a really lovely gesture that he gave you the quid you needed... This really isn't an FML at all!

This is how I read this: "Today, some guy was nice enough to help pay for my lunch when I found I didn't have enough cash on me. What a jerk. FML"

or "Today, I was humbled. FML." Well...actually, obviously not humbled since she posted it on here.
