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

faentalivetmitt tells us more.

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!

damn, that's judgmental. maybe you should use that to ******* humble yourself.

"OH MY GODDDDD A STRANGER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO GIVE ME MONEY FOR LUNCH MY LIFE IS SO HARRRDDDDD." I don't even know of a word bad enough to express the complete hatred I feel for the stupid, ungrateful, spoiled MISTAKE of a animal you are. You are not even human - you are an animal. The lowest animal of all.

You better pay that poor guy back you asshole!

this is realy messed up you should be GRATEFULL, he could have used it for himself but wanted to help someone else and just because he has nowhere to live your ashamed to get help from him. thats frustrating, people shouldnt be so judgemental.

Hmmm, I can see how you were embarrassed, but you should appreciate the fact that someone else decided to help you. You would've been more embarrassed if the cashier had told you that you don't have enough and that you'd have to give up some food, right? Though he was homeless, that man was REALLY NICE to you!
