Today, I asked a short girl to prom by making a "You must be this tall to say no" sign. She grabbed a chair, stood on it, and then said no. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I asked a girl to prom by having 5 friends hold up signs saying "P-R-O-M-?" while I snuck up behind her. She said yes... to my friend holding the "?", who she thought was the one asking her. FML
Today, I had an elaborate plan to ask this girl to Prom, and it was going to take a few minutes to set up. I asked my friend to distract her. He decided to distract her by asking her to Prom. She said "Yes". FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend to prom. Instead of saying yes, she broke up with me. FML
Today, after telling a friend I was contemplating asking a girl to prom, my friend took my phone, told me to have some balls, and texted the girl asking her to prom. She said no, because I asked her over text instead of in person. She refuses to believe I didn't send the text. FML
Today, I was asked to prom by the same guy who "accidentally" cut off a chunk of my hair in class and with whom I haven't had a conversation in my life. When I politely declined he said, "You'll regret this". FML
Today, I proposed. She immediately said no and then broke up with me. FML
Today, I proposed to the girl of my dreams. She asked me who I was, and maced me. FML
Today, I was talking to my mom about who I wanted to ask to prom. I told her the names of the girls I was thinking of asking and she replied, "They'll say no, but you can always go with one of your cousins." FML
Today, I rejected my crush's prom proposal because I didn't think he was being serious and wanted to prank me or something. Turns out he was serious but now he's going with another girl. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend of nearly 2 years out to dinner so I could propose. When the waiter brought the check, I caused a bit of a scene to get everyone's attention. When I got on my knee and proposed, she said no and asked if I could hurry up and pay, because she was embarrassed. FML

Looks like your plan fell a little short of the mark

You're an ass

You're supposed to ASK her to prom, not essentially bully her into saying yes. Of course not physically forcing her, but with that way of asking you don't really give her any chance to say no.

I don't understand everyone saying she couldn't say no. Of course she can. Op isn't god or an authority figure, just because he says something doesn't mean that's how it is. I think most reasonable humans understand this, but I've seen a lot of people saying she didn't have the option.

It's not because she didn't HAVE the option - she did. It's because he gave her no option to answer his question.

I think they're more saying that OP didn't give her the option to say no, so she created herself the option, by making herself taller. You're right, OP isn't God and she could've easily flat out said no, but it's more that his sign didn't give her the option

YDI. That was rude and insensitive. People can be very self-conscious about their height.

totally deserved it. the hottest thing anyone can have is choice and you attempted to take hers away. even if I was slightly interested in someone I'd be turned off by something like this.

If my long term bf said that, I'd laugh and thing it's cute. If you didn't know her well... No don't do that.

these comments are so full of short puns, I thought I'd leave a long one.

It was a long shot but you still came up short.

What were you expecting, really

Yeah... Always got to be careful with the short jokes. Us short people have jokes of our own.

YDI. Most short people hate jokes about their height.

I don't know many short people that are sensitive about their height. I'm not even 5 feet and I enjoy a good laugh about my height because I have a sense of humor. I think it's more that he tried leaving her without the option of saying no.

#61 I think a short person can have a sense of humor, but still be offended by it. It all depends on what that particular person is sensitive about. If the sign said something like "flat-chested girls aren't allowed to say no" or "overweight girls aren't allowed to say no," sure some girls might have found it funny, but others wouldn't. I know many short people who hate those jokes, and others who are chill, but they're all pretty humorous people. I think if they are friends who joke about it a lot, then OP's actions were normal (which I'm guessing is the case, since she kinda joked back with him). But if they weren't then this was just unwise, because he has no idea whether the girl is self-conscious about it.

I personally used to be offended when someone made a light hearted joke about my height, because it gave the people bullying me more satisfaction (like friends making the joke made bullies see it as demeaning), so I get why people who are short get offended by short jokes, it doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humour though.
