Today, I bought a new armband to hold my iPhone while working out so I can listen to music and I was excited to start getting in shape. Unfortunately, when I tried it on, my arm was too big and it didn't fit. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was excited about my new fitness tracker that I decided to go for a run to test it out. Midway through, I looked down and realized I'd forgot to turn it on. FML
Today, I decided to try a new fitness tracker. After walking around all day, I looked at my app to check how many steps I’d taken, only to realize the tracker had counted every time I flailed my arms in frustration trying to figure out how to set it up. FML
Today, the "My body is beautiful" t-shirt that my therapist gave me didn't fit. FML
Today, I bought new earphones for my phone so I could finally listen to music again. Not an hour later I broke it. FML
Today, I got my new smartwatch that I ordered for myself on the promise that I would use it for tracking my new exercise routine. Instead, I used it for playing Pong whilst eating cake and drinking wine. FML
Today, I was thinking about my new diet and workout plan as I was getting dressed in the morning, feeling much thinner and more energetic. Just as the thought passed through my brain, the button on my skirt popped off. 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
Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. I was feeling good about it, until I realized that I'd forgotten my workout clothes and was wearing jeans. As I attempted to do squats in my tight jeans, I split them down the middle. FML
Today, I went to the gym to try to get into shape. While I was running on the treadmill, my beer belly pushed against the emergency stop button, twice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well if at first you don't succeed get your ass out there and workout you don't need music to push yourself..just use this as motivation and a goal to fit your iPhone armband.

You should have tried it on first! Anyway you deserve it. Try to return the armband and see if there are bigger one.

There are some which come in sealed boxes and you can't take them out, to see if they fit, inside the store.

If you ask an associate, I am sure that they would accommodate you in trying on an armband.

Again, I'm sure it was in a box or had something else to prevent OP from trying it on. They're not going to take every item out of its packaging so one person can test it out because it becomes un-sellable.

I've had the same problem, though even when I've found one that fit it became too tight when I flexed my muscles. Now I just use an old sock with the foot cut off and folded in half. Works well and it has enough stretch in it that it doesn't constrict your arm.

You can always use duct tape. You can return it if you kept the receipt.

If its too big form having a huge bicep that should feel good, if its too big from fat them you should really amp up your workout.
