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!

That man is a wonderful testament to the goodness of humanity. I agree--this story should be on givesmehope.com. I highly recommend that you check out the site.

You should return the pound. He probably needs it.

This makes me feel really good, regardless of the harsh and stupid comments by others. There is hope for the world if a homeless man is willing to give up a pound to help out someone who has a house when day after day, people reject them and refuse to help them. I love it when it shows just how many good people there are out there.

that is one of the nicest things i've ever heard. you should be grateful, not resentful. you're life doesn't suck at all. if anything, that should've give you even the slightest bit of hope for humanity. if someone who has nothing offers to give you what they have then that is awesome. why would you complain about that?
