Today, I met one of my favorite webcomic artists. As I purchased a shirt from their booth, he asked, "What size?" I stupidly asked "How big is a small?" He chuckled, "It's small" and chuckled some more. So much for keeping it cool. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I donated blood at a blood drive. As is the usual for blood drives, I was offered a shirt after donating. The worker handing out the shirts asked me for my size. I said that I was a medium. He looked me over, then asked, "Are you sure?" FML
Today, I went shopping with my friend. The store was having a special where if you spend over $75 you receive a free T-shirt. I paid for my items and my total was over $75. The salesman didn't hand me a shirt so I asked him for one. He looks at me and says "I'm sorry, we only have Mediums." FML
Today, I was giving a lecture when I noticed everyone smiling at me. I thought my jokes were finally landing until a coworker pointed out that the price tag from my brand-new shirt was hanging out of the back of my collar the entire time. FML
Today, while standing in line at the grocery store, I noticed that myself and the woman in front of me were wearing the same shirt. As she was about to leave, I said to her "Hey! I'm wearing that shirt!" She turned to me and replied, "Not in THIS size you aren't." FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job, which requires you to wear a special shirt. Come to find out, they only have medium sized shirts. I'm an XL. They demanded I wear the shirt anyway. FML
Today, I went to get new shoes. I'm a pretty tall girl and I have proportional feet. I asked the cute guy who worked there for a size 9.5. He burst into laughter before putting on a shocked face and saying, "Oh wait... You're serious." Goodbye, self esteem. FML
Today, I ordered a designer jacket online. When it arrived, it was doll-sized. It turns out that I bought a limited edition meant for action figures. FML
Today, a man at the comic book store I work at asked me if Spider-Man is based on a real story, and verbally abused me when, thinking he was joking, I laughed. He wasn't. FML
Today, my friends and I were shopping for dresses. I asked the lady at the counter for a size 4, she looked at me and mumbled, "Yeah, right…" in front of everyone. FML
Today, I wore a new shirt I was really pleased to have bought. As soon as I put it on, I noticed it was a bit tight, but I thought it would stretch out. By the end of the day, I looked like I was wearing a sausage casing. My coworkers couldn’t stop laughing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's not even a stupid question - you clearly meant it as in measurements. At least I hope that's what you meant.

To be fair, clothes range from different sizes no matter what their tag says. I picked up two sweaters the other day, a size 6 and a size 10, and they were both the same size. It's confusing haha.

Sounds like we need to add some strobe lights and techno to this conversation.

He probably welcomed a step away from the usual "Omg you're like, my total fave. So funny. Take a picture with me! I'm such a fan." And he chuckled, so at least he probably thought it was kind of cute, especially if he realized it was the nerves speaking :)

Just be glad that was as bad as it got. Also you met an idol. Win.

Don't worry. I was visibly shaking when I met Tom Felton. And stuttering, too.

I honestly don't understand why people get so freaked out at meeting celebrities. They're just people, and most of them are pretty nice. I've gotten to meet a few of my favorite actors, and it was no big deal.

"Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see Sometimes your words just hypnotize me And I just love your flashy ways Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid" ***Sorry! But this is what happens when I read big and small in the same sentence. :P

It doesn't show the OPs gender, but let's hope the artist wasn't staring at your chest or your crotch when he delivered his witty reply.

Haha, oh no! Listen, it's no big deal... I bet you were the only one who really felt like an idiot, or even caught something wrong at all! I bet he didn't think anything of it. Most of the time that's how it goes... We'll do something that we, for whatever reason, find embarrassing... But in reality, it shouldn't be because the other person didn't even realize we did it. Even if it is, it's a cute mistake in your wording. Laugh it off and it'll be okay!
