Today, whilst out shopping with my crush, I decided to jokingly try on a silly-looking dress in an overly-expensive shop. Apparently I took the wrong size as I couldn't get out. Not only did the shop assistants have to publicly cut me out of the dress, I had to pay for it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my company was having a huge party so I went to work dressed in my best outfit. During lunch break, my boss said to me, "You really missed out on something yesterday, it was great fun!" FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. Feeling bad, I texted him a few hours later apologizing. He said it was fine and that he went ahead and picked up a girl from the mall. FML
Today, I went on a blind date at a fancy restaurant. My date was running a bit late, so I went ahead and got a table. I got bored, so I decided to ask my waiter how I looked. He stood there, then said that, "It's against company policy to mock customers to their face." FML
Today, at work as a cashier, a guy came up with a cart full of stuff and it took me 10 minutes to ring it all up. When I told him his total, he felt his pockets, said, "Oh shit, I forgot my wallet!" and walked off. He left about 15 bags worth of things for me to put back. FML
Today, I bought some pricey lipstick for a date tonight. An hour after putting it on, my lips are so swollen, I look like a blow-up sex doll. FML
Today, I accidentally punched myself in the face while trying to take my bra off. FML
Today, I went shopping with my sister. Looking for something to say, I told her how one of my friends had been burglarized. Then I realised it was Bree on Desperate Housewives. FML
Today, I came home from work to find my son and his friends attempting to find out how many of them could fit into one of my pairs of pants. So far, five. FML
Today, I was at a water park with my family. They wanted me to stand underneath this big bucket filled with water. I didn't know it tips over, and my swimsuit isn't the tightest, so when all the water fell down, my swimsuit bottoms fell to my knees in front of tons of kids. FML
Today, while battling a severe flu, I was forced to come to work by my manager. Upon arrival, I discovered that a colleague he likes who should be covering for me is out today. The reason? Her shoes hurt. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How hard did you try to zip it so that there was no way to get out other than to be cut out? YDI

And the reaction you were trying to get from him is...?

How much was it?
friedpwnadge 25
Guess you didn't make the cut.
sarah6786 14
-14 No, the shop-assistant did.
TheCanucklehead 22
And it was an expensive cut

She fell victim to the Chinese Woman-Trap.

I'm thinking you should have realized that it was too small as you were stuffing yourself into the dress. You should have then not put it all the way on.
Caitie_kid 8
... I feel like you should have known it's not going to come off before you got all the way in it. Oops, didn't read that someone already posted this.

"Whilst" sounds so off. Just say "while" doofus.
goth_pixie 15
They couldn't at least went in a large dressing room with you?

... what?

Oh never mind

your profile picture goes so well with your confused comment

Uncle Vernon! How appropriate on a post about a girl who magically inflates after putting a dress on..
Love_is_no_joke 6
Well that's kinda harsh:/
Llama_Face89 34
72- if OP was so slow that she didn't realize the dress was too small as she's struggling to stuff herself into it I think a few harsh comments are warranted.
NoMore_CoolNames 14
If OP couldn't tell by looking at it that's just stupidity.

Laughter? It's nice to joke around with the one you like, it creates pleasant memories. It just sucks that OP didn't realize the dress was just how tight it fit till it was already stuck.
sarah6786 14
It's still hard for me to imagine wanting to create "pleasant memories" so badly that I would squeeze myself into an inevitably terrible and awkward situation. There are much too many other things to do to create memories than...that.
Sfaizi24 17
Op didn't know she would get stuck obviously.
sarah6786 14
23- Or, OP was just being a little too desperate to look cute for her crush.
starile 20
So sue her.

I'm more boggled at the fact that he willingly waited for someone to try on clothes. Even if it was for a laugh, waiting for people in the change rooms is the most boring part of shopping :/
Faff 20
was he supposed to leave her there then?

How hard did you try to zip it so that there was no way to get out other than to be cut out? YDI

Exactly. If something is gonna get stuck on you, you're gonna know before it gets stuck. If you have to force it on, it does not fit.
Kallian_fml 21
Just cuz it zips, doesn't mean it fits.
The_Khan 12
If you couldnt get it off. And you had to buy it. Why wouldnt they let you pay for it and leave with it on, so you could cut it off at your own place ?
golden_warrior 23
Maybe she was suffocating in it?
ColdplaySucks 18
If you're wearing something uncomfortable and silly-looking, chances are you'll want to get it off as soon as you can even if it means public humiliation. Still, OP deserves it.
dinagdotphoto 13
But you had no trouble getting into it? YDI, OP

Guess it's one of those dates where the girl pays more than the guy does!
wonderfulrosie 13
I think this has to be exaggerated or something. Honestly, how did OP get in the dress fine, but couldn't get out? I mean, I can see it being difficult and needing some assistance in getting it off, but completely cut off? Come on now.
jigglypuff34 16
Clearly OP ate a box of donuts while in the dressing room and put on a few. I mean come on people it's the only logical answer.
dinagdotphoto 13
Hahah you made me giggle :-) Seriously, the way she describes it, is as of she'd inflated like the woman in Harry Potter, magically, right after she'd put the dress on.

Which store? (please don't be Hollister or a&f.)
cmayer 20
Doubt it was one of those. Their clothes might be overpriced and covered in logos, but I've never seen any silly looking clothes at either place. Although I hope you're hating on them bc the CEO sucks and not bc "brand names! Eww!"
hashshim 23
I've seen plenty of silly looking clothes there. every brand has their fair share of ridiculous merchandise.
aruam365 24
That would be ridiculously humiliating! You couldn't tell it was too small when you were putting it on though?

Single, in reference to relationship status, is an adjective. Stop trying to be witty and get back in the kitchen.

#25: Single; that's what you are. Now, stop trying to be witty, and learn a bit of respect.

Ummm weight watchers, Jenny Craig, P90x, something to help. We are all here for you!

Getting the wrong clothes size does not equate a need for weight loss.
michelleJ11 25
Who said OP was fat?
SaxophoneHero 12
9 did! Or at least implied it...
Smoldering 15
Umm not all of us are size 0-5 sorry, that doesn't make us fat. It just makes us different.

If you tried on a silly dress to make him laugh trust me he got a good laugh in
