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.

It's sad how the poor are willing to give while the people with more money are not (not that you aren't willing to give). What goes around comes around.

nah, I don't think she deserved the money. the hobo could have used it on someone or something better, since clearly it was a waste

hey, your life doesn't suck! a stranger was kind enough to pay for your lunch, and he was probably poor. i'd say you had a pretty good day. what a sweet guy =)

how is that an fml... what a generous person, giving something when you have nothing yourself is the most noble thing u can do

How is this an FML? More like a Givesmehope.com moment... People complain about the weirdest stuff!

And to think that so many people have pressed " I agree, your life sucks. " What a shame.

thats really sweet.i would have given him my lunch.

This belongs on mylifeisg, not fmylife. In fact, I believe there IS one on there like this. Someone was sweet enough to pay for you! I've done it before, and nobody's ever made an FML about it. So much for being thankful..

well i hope you're intending to pay him back.
