Today, I excitedly checked the mail to see if my Halloween costume finally arrived. It didn't. I live in an isolated city, so finding a costume by any other means than the Internet was impossible. I spent over $100 for a costume that I won't even get to wear this year. FML

Today, I was excited to finally receive my Halloween costume in the mail after the one I ordered back in September got lost in transit. Upon reaching my mailbox, I saw the lock had been broken off and my new costume had been stolen. The party is tomorrow. FML

Today, my Halloween costume finally showed up in the mail. Their consolation for a late delivery? A 50 cent discount. FML

Today, I finished making an awesome costume for a Halloween party my crush was attending. I then checked the invite and found out the party was last night. FML

Today, my company had a Halloween party. I was so excited seeing as our company never does anything, so I pulled out all the stops with my costume. I was the only one who got dressed up. FML

Today, I spent over $160 and 2 hours preparing for a Halloween party I was throwing. The only person who showed up was my sister, who helped me decorate. FML

Today, I went to a costume party dressed as Prince. As I walked into the party, I realized that I was the only one who hadn't received the memo that the costume part of the party had been cancelled. I spent the evening awkwardly mingling with a group of confused strangers while dressed in purple satin. FML

Today, I dressed up like a pirate, dressed my dog as a parrot and bought $30 worth of candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters. I waited by the door for 3 hours. Not one kid came. FML

Today, I had to tell all the trick-or-treaters that I'd run out of candy. I'd actually bought about $50 worth of candy, but managed to eat all of it by myself, sitting alone in my apartment, exactly like last year. FML

I'm just curious as to why you paid over $100 for a costume you will wear for one day.

Maybe OP was planning on using it another year as well? :)

100 is cheap for a good costume, im buying the transformers costume, you can stand in it like a normal costume or fold down and make it into a car while your still in it. I believe its around $500 or so.

Same reason some women spend thousands on a wedding dress- to make the day extra special! Op was probably going to a few parties and wanted to stand out!

I think spending $100 on a costume just for halloween is over the top. If you could use it for role playing though it wouldn't be so bad.

You shouldn't order costumes at all really, it's much easier(and cheaper) to make your own

Spending $100 on a Halloween costume is ridiculous, especially if it's being sent so it's not even guaranteed. Sucks but I gotta say Ydi

I agree. Spending $100 on a Halloween costume is ridiculous. I can't get anything worth a shit for less than $2,000.

You still have two more days until it's actually halloween. Unless you were going to a party tonight. Then it truly is an fml. But you deserved it if you ordered it like three days ago.
