Today, I witnessed a homeless man fall off of his bike and land face first onto the pavement. Bleeding and shivering in the 40 degree weather, I gave him the coat off of my back. He got up like nothing happened and sprinted away with it. Oh yeah, my wallet was in the inside pocket. FML

Today, I was riding my bike to work in a hurry and hit a pothole. I flew off and hit the ground hard. I was badly shaken, but an old lady came over, checked me out and helped me to my feet. After she left the scene, I realized she'd pickpocketed my wallet while "helping" me. FML

Today, I was riding on my bike when I saw a homeless guy holding a sign saying, "Need money, stranded from Oklahoma." I decided to be nice, and hopped off my bike to give him $2. He took the money, and then jacked my bike. FML

Today, I was walking home, when I saw a homeless man trying to tear the wallet out of another guy's hand. I can't stand bums, so I smacked him across the jaw. That's when the other one kneed me in the balls and made off with my wallet as well. FML

Today, I saw a homeless man on the corner, I thought I would be generous and give him some cash. I rolled down my window and waved my hand for him to come over. As he was walking over, he was struck by another car. FML

Today, I helped a "blind" man across the street. He kindly said thank you and patted me on the back. Then, I went into a store and realized my wallet was missing. FML

Today, I was skating in the city when I slipped and fractured my arm. As I was lying in pain, a guy walked up to me, frisked my pocket and took my wallet. He then said, "It's nothing personal." FML

Today, as I was walking home, I felt my feet slip out from under me and I face-planted in the slushy, dirty, melting snow. I rolled over, completely soaked, and attempted to get up, thinking no one saw me. A mail-man then passed me without offering to help, and said, "I've seen worse." FML

Today, I gave a homeless man my last bit of spare change so he could get on the bus. Just as I was about to get on too, I realized I'd lost my bus card. I had to get off the bus and watch as the man waved at me through the window. FML

Today, I was walking down the street when a homeless man asked me for some spare change. I told him I didn't have any. I then tripped. Not only spilling the soda I was drinking all over myself, but also spilling the spare change I had from buying it. FML

Isn't if funny how the world works sometimes? You try to do something nice, and you get screwed.

I was LOL up to the word 'Pavement'. However, unless you're more out of shape than a homeless person, I find this hard to believe. I mean, every homeless person I've seen looks like they'd pass out if they managed to get their pass up to a sprint and at the same time, you had the guys bike! Unless he wrecked it on the crash, why didnt you chase him down to get your wallet back? Naturally you wouldn't be concerned about the jacket because you wrapped it around a stinking filth covered homeless dude.

I would have done the same thing to help that poor man. You should always do good, which is why I applaud the OP for doing a good deed. Although it didn't turn out so well, god still noticed it. Shame on all of you that hit YDI.

@people saying he should have chased the guy on the bike - are you guys all assuming that the homeless person faked the fall? Maybe the bike broke (e.g. chain snapped) and that's why the guy fell off. Then again, the OP could've chased him on foot. Still, FYL for trying to do the right thing and getting backstabbed like that.
