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

I'm oddly proud of her response

Looks like your plan fell a little short of the mark

I'm short and the short jokes really do get old. I can see how she would be upset.

This is the kind of thing you'd have to be close with someone to pull off. It's something you should have kinda felt the person out for to figure out their response. "How do you feel about big promposals? Are big public things your thing?"

Seriously, how did you think that was going to go over?

As someone that is only 4"11 I would have thought that was hilarious. But than again I have a sense of humor.

Not that many people have one of those these days

it's sad. I laugh at my own height on a daily basis. and if strangers try to crack a joke at my height than awesome. I don't get mad I laugh and say a smart ass comment to follow.

Being offended by someone making fun of your height does not mean you don't have a sense of humour. I will laugh about it with friends but not strangers, they haven't earned the right to make fun of me. Even then, for years it upset me with friends. But it doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humour. Also everyone's sense of humour is different, some are non existent, but some find stuff funny that most don't and vice versa, just because one person or multiple people don't find one particular thing funny, doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humour.

Creative but not the good creative.

She's a keeper! She sounds awesome. You screwed up. Unless you already knew she'd like that joke, you were a jerk. YDI.

I don't understand why everyone is so upset. He wasn't making fun of her or anything. He just wanted a funny way to ask her to prom.

because now days everyone is a cry baby and enjoy getting butthurt over stupid shit. it's a joke and if you ask me damn adorable!

It's more that he didn't give her the option to say no (basically saying she was too short to say no), so she made his option invalid, and a lot of people are supporting her.

He was actually poking fun at her right, and as the other person said tried to take her option to say no away. Joke or not that can upset someone. This is something to need to know how it will be relieved before going through with it. I'm personally with many of the others: if I was close with the person, Id find it hilarious. If I wasn't, Id find it rude and creepy. You don't have the right to tell someone what to be offended over or what not to, whether you're short or not. Just like I can't tell you that you SHOULD be offended. People are different.

You're one of those new types of entitled idiot. Good for the girl on setting better standards for herself.

Or maybe they are friends and he thought she was going to take it as the joke it was. You can't just assume thing about people before you actually get to know them.

That was a bad idea from the beginning
wickedhyype 17
Well.. That can be taken as offensive
