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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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...?

You could have paid for it and went home and try to get out of it. When you do, sell it off a little cheaper.

True. If it's really a designer dress, hire a tailor to sew it back together. Resell it (online?), but be up front about its condition. You should be able to get most of your money back.

so you got it on by yourself, but couldn't get it off? sounds legit.

If there's anything men love, it's sarcastic clothes-shopping comedy. "You had me at 'Vera Wang'!"

The situation sucks, OP but I feel YDI. My hips are a killer when it comes to getting some clothes on but I don't force them on. I'd have felt you'd have known if something wasn't going to fit.

And it's silly looking... Wrong choice to try it on in the first place...

You should stick to window shopping. Clearly, it's the best way for you to avoid problems.

That stinks OP :/ the item might have been mislabeled!
starile 20
Yes! Blame her admittedly silly attempt at humor on the tag being mislabeled!

If I were you, I would have chosen a fairly large size so I knew it would fit... YDI.

No you wouldn't have. Nobody picks a size thinking "I'm going to get the size up just in case the shop assistant has to publicly cut me out of this".
MikaykayUnicorn 36
No, they don't. But they choose a size up that way if it's too big, they know to get a smaller size. & how can you not tell that a dress won't fit? if she had to get CUT out of it, there was obviously a point where she knew 'hey this is too small.'

okay OP, that sucks. but how did you manage to get IN it in the first place?

It's often harder to get out of clothes than in them, I've noticed that.

how'd you manage to get it all the way on & not get it off? shouldn't both processes been just as hard?
