Today, I bought a coral colored hooded sweatshirt, which my girlfriend told me was "hot". I wore it to a baseball game tonight. When it got cold I put the hood over my head, only to hear everyone behind me laugh. The back of the hood said "Boy crazy". It was a teen girls sweatshirt. FML
I agree, your life sucks (11359) - you totally deserved it (44552)

Clearly you didn't inspect the sweatshirt enough when you bought it.

HAHAHA
ohhhhh that's a good one :D
thank you for putting something worth reading on FML =)

seriously...coral color? how'd she manage to convince you it was hot? If I could convince my boyfriend coral was a hot color...oh man.... ;)
ummm since i dont even know what color "coral" is, i would have known it wasnt for me
and how do you not look at the whole sweatshirt front/back before you buy it, and even after to make sure you get all the tags.
if you failed to see all these signs then you are a moron.
Dumbass hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

LOL this is why you HAVE to make sure it's in the guy section! My worst fear is buying clothing and later finding out that it's girl clothing so I take extra effort to check xD
It's really important to check out all parts of a piece of clothing prior to buying so that 1. You can make sure it's not ripped or damaged in any way and 2. You can avoid situations like these.
YDI. Next time, actually look at the piece of clothing you are buying, and what section of the store you are buying it in. Common sense is your friend.

You probably wore it anyways. How do you have a girlfriend and use the word coral when describing a sweatshirt? I had to google it to see what color it is, and it's PINK. You deserved that one definitly.
Man Code Rule #37: ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
**with every set of laws, there are appropriate punishments. If any man shall happen to break any one of these codes, he will be found guilty, and will, for 24 hours from the time of the violation, be considered NOT A MAN. During this time he will not be referred to in any masculine way, and he shall bear the name Princess.
Carry on, Princess.

ROFL! ah, men and their susceptibility to the influence of females. :) I doubt you would have bought a coral-coloured hoodie on your own, or been distracted enough to not notice what section of the store you were in when you found it. Nice!
If she really thinks it's hot, just wear it around her when you're alone. Hehe.
#15 you fail as bad that you actually CHECK you got male clothes on...womens stuff is a different fit, this is just sad
...and coral is light pink...even sadder you'd take your "girlfriend's" word that it's "hot" :\
why would anyone seriously say a sweatshirt is hot? That's like saying "man that burka sure is sexy"
#27 - On 04/14/2009 at 9:49am by haha_fail88
Lol @ #24
YDI Princess, this is just too funny though... Maybe give it to your g/f as a gift if she really thinks it's that hot ;P
#28 - On 04/14/2009 at 10:00am by CountryCustard
isnt coral a pale pink?
that should be your first clue.
your girlfriend has either no fashion sense or is a bitch.
#29 - On 04/14/2009 at 10:01am by guitardedman
oh that happens all the time.... you know, because we all dont look at the clothes we buy? your fault fagio
#30 - On 04/14/2009 at 10:12am by roll_fukng_tide
I think it's nice you did that for her :)
Though if it was a joke that's just mean.
#33 - On 04/14/2009 at 10:22am by blacklagoon
wow, if you know what the color coral is then maybe you are a "boy crazy"
#34 - On 04/14/2009 at 10:25am by fatfaceunited
I wear color coral panties sometimes so how does that make me boy crazy?
#35 - On 04/14/2009 at 10:44am by humpty_dumpty
How could you not notice you were in the teen girl's section???
Did you somehow miss all of the skirts, dresses, glitter, and floral patterns?
I mean, seriously...
And if your girlfriend was aware of all this, which I don't see how TWO people couldn't notice you were in that section, then she's a bitch or has no fashion sense. She'll probably dress you in pink next. Beware. =)
Haha when I first read this I thought coral was light blue, and what the hell is mauve? (Yes I'm a girl but no I don't know colors too well) But anyway that's awesome that you fell for that.
#38 - On 04/14/2009 at 10:57am by rose33red99
What do you expect when the sweater is... coral? What colour is it anyway, bright pink?
#39 - On 04/14/2009 at 11:05am by oasisaddict
Epic fail. Firstly, I don't care what any girl says, my personal opinion is that feminine colors (like pink/coral/whatever) look awful on guys. Secondly, you fail for not checking a femininely colored hoodie--actually you should always check any hoodie--to see if it said anything on it.
And for those asking coral is a pinkish-peachish color.
#40 - On 04/14/2009 at 11:15am by audiogasmic
hopefully your a lesbian which would explain why you bought a coral colored hoodie
which would make it ten times funnier when you found out it says, boy crazy
#41 - On 04/14/2009 at 11:17am by EFFyourlifecait
YDI, but what teen girl would actually wear this? I'm a teen girl (17) and I wouldn't be caught dead in that.
#42 - On 04/14/2009 at 11:17am by xClarkGable
Aha, no teen girl I know would've worn something like that! Well anyway, check next time, it's annoying when your about to buy shorts and then you finally look on the ass of em and theres a stupid phrase on them.
#43 - On 04/14/2009 at 11:25am by trappazoid
YDI.
a) you didn't notice that you were in the TEEN GIRL's section? That's the most obnoxiously floral, bright colored, Hannah Montana section of any department store.
b) you agreed to wear a coral sweatshirt.
c) you believed that a sweatshirt could look 'hot.' Sweatshirts are just sweatshirts, they don't make anyone look hot.
#45 - On 04/14/2009 at 11:32am by lnm701
Hahahaha. I was about to vote for your life sucking, then I re-read... YOU BOUGHT IT! :-P
thats a pretty epic fail
You fail at life.
On the other hand your girlfriend is the shit for getting you to wear that..... if you break up with her gimme her number....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_(color)
Dude, that is a gay color, even without the hood.
#50 - On 04/14/2009 at 12:17pm by I_am_stupid_also
uhm babe...your first clue would be "coral"...though i must say, it is true that real men wear pink, i wouldn't mind a guy in that colour, but how do you not check around to see if there is anything on it???
#51 - On 04/14/2009 at 12:33pm by madame_malfoy
oh I agree with #51.
and seriously, just because he knows what Coral looks like.. doesn't mean he is gay. I know quite a few guys who knows what it is. Even though they would never wear the color.
#53 - On 04/14/2009 at 12:55pm by simplethings7
I think it's a somewhat honest mistake. Coral is kinda orange-y and the OP said it was written on the back of the HOOD, not the actual back.
But that's still funny :P
#54 - On 04/14/2009 at 1:02pm by czechitout
Although you should've inspected it better, or even looked at a sign, I'm sure I would've done the same thing.
#61 - On 04/14/2009 at 3:00pm by xXMILKYCHUNKSXx
i dont know why ppl think this is funny or approved as an fml, clearly your retarted and its not nice to laugh at mental retardation =/ unless your just hiding your gay who knows, seems like your "gf" wears the pants in the relationship
#63 - On 04/14/2009 at 3:41pm by B1GV1N
hahaha dude! that's great. your girlfriend sucks. sorry to break it to you lol.
#64 - On 04/14/2009 at 3:55pm by SarahBabyCakes05
I didn't realize men bought coral sweatshirts... I mean that's pretty close to pink.
And you bought it without looking at it very closely ...?
Heh.
#66 - On 04/14/2009 at 4:21pm by were_giraffe
actually to be honest that sounds like an ugly/trashy sweatshirt even for a teenage girl lol i wouldn't wear it
hahahahaahahaha.thats what you get for mot actually looking at the hoodie before putting it on ;D
#71 - On 04/14/2009 at 5:05pm by LaTuaCantante
Your girlfriend is awesome! She should totally be one of my f*g hags. It's impressive that she got you to wear coral, though!
I'd wear coral, but it goes horribly with my hair. Bright blonde and all; some girls maybe can wear it, but coral on a guy goes best with brown hair.
I think I actually had that sweatshirt, but then my friend Rikki stole it (it's fine, though, we steal each others' clothes all the time, except for jeans, cause I'm a 4L and she's an 8L).
#72 - On 04/14/2009 at 5:15pm by Dichoscillation
Your girlfriend is a keeper. Any girl that can convince a guy to wear a coral hoodie (and pay for it) and make him think he looks good deserves an award. I applaud her (obviously successful) efforts.
#75 - On 04/14/2009 at 6:23pm by blowup_dollie
I get the feeling he was IN the store with his GF when she told him it was hot. LOL Still funny though.
Oh, so you can't read and can't tell the difference between a boy's hoodie and a girls hoodie. FYL indeed.
#82 - On 04/14/2009 at 7:49pm by mothfather
Honestly, who looks at the back of the hood before they buy a sweatshirt?
#85 - On 04/14/2009 at 9:33pm by Quinnjamin
Dude thats hilarious i love ur gf she has a nice sense of humor :D
just play the part and have some fun with it :P
and where did u get it, its the perfect gift for a friend of mine
#87 - On 04/15/2009 at 12:22am by iheardulkwaffles
dude, your girlfriend must hate you deep inside! You know you gotta check out shirts front and back before you buy it homeboy!
#89 - On 04/15/2009 at 4:23pm by fowunfive
haha, this story just made my day.
i think i'm in lovee. :)
new favourite FML.
#93 - On 04/15/2009 at 8:04pm by missedwardcullen
As a male I don't know what color 'coral' is (as actual coral is multiple different colors), but it sounds girly. Your GF either is a total bitch or has a weird sense of humor
#96 - On 04/17/2009 at 1:22am by theclash06013
You should just wear it with pride. I now a lot of guys that would wear that kind of stuff on purpose. lol. just for laughs. Make it a joke!
#97 - On 04/17/2009 at 5:21pm by Dimaranien
That's why you don't buy "coral" colored sweaters. By the way Suzie, most guys would just call it "pink", and think you were gay automatically.
Coral colored? A tad gay, especially the fact that you can distinguish coral from pink. And didn't the fit of the sweatshirt tip you off.
Just kidding, but really, do you not look at the back of sweatshirts before you buy them?
#101 - On 04/18/2009 at 7:06pm by sondramcfail
WOW... u must feel soooo smart after that... u make me laugh =]
#105 - On 05/24/2009 at 5:23pm by OMGobstoppers
Sounds to me like you should've paid more attention when you bought the sweater.
