Today, I helped a nice middle-aged lady pick out a sweater. She then opened her changing room door to ask for my opinion. I still don't understand why she had to take everything else off to try on a sweater. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried on a sweater in a store. It was a bit tight, but I managed to get it on. When I tried to take it off, it got stuck halfway. After several failed attempts, a sales associate had to help me out of it, while other customers watched. FML
Today, I tried on a tight sweater at the mall. It got stuck halfway over my head, and I couldn’t get it off. I had to shuffle out of the changing room, arms trapped in the air, and ask the clerk for help while blinded by the fabric. FML
Today, I went clothes shopping. I took my little daughter into the dressing room while I tried some clothes on. She somehow managed to open the door while I was changing. A lady outside then bitched me out for "exposing" myself to her kids. FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She went to try some clothes on and came out to ask for my opinion. "Hell no! That shirt is awful!" She wanted to show me the pants. The shirt was hers. FML
Today, I tried a polo neck sweater on at a store, and when I tried to take it off, it got stuck halfway over my head. I panicked and tugged harder, only to realize I was now stuck inside, unable to get it off. A store employee finally saw me struggling and came help me. I'm never going back there again. FML
Today, I was shopping with a friend. We snuck into the same fitting room so we could give our opinions on each other's clothes. The suspicious saleswoman knocked on the door and asked how many people were in our room. I quickly answered, "It's OK. She's just watching." FML
Today, I was working at Target when an old woman asked me if I could help her find her favorite bra. I asked what brand it was when she replied "I'll check the tag". She lifted up the front of her shirt, and flipped one cup of her bra inside out. I saw everything. FML
Today, I was installing TVs in a hospital. When I knocked on a door, a female voice asked me to come in. I opened the door to see an 80 year old woman standing in front of me, naked. She then complained when I hesitated to help her to put some clothes on. FML
Today, I was trying on jeans in a store. Thinking the changing room door was locked, I stripped down to my underwear. Suddenly, an elderly woman opened the door, stepped in, and said, “Oh, I thought this was the toilet.” We locked eyes for an eternity before she backed out. I felt obligated to buy the jeans to regain some control of my life. FML
Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She probably did it because she wanted the sweater to be the main focus and if she was wearing everything else, it would take your focus away from the sweater.

At least it was a sweater and not a pair of underpants...

Maybe it was not about the sweater that she wanted an opinion?

Yes, but it was mostly because of menopausal flashes.

Aren't fitting rooms generally split by sex? I assumed when reading this that OP either worked in the shop so would likely be female if in a female fitting room, or was a fellow customer, so would also be female. Most fitting rooms I've been in don't even let your boyfriend/husband/male friend in for you to ask their opinion on clothes. I've seen a huge fight kick off in a store where a woman asked her husband to come into the fitting room to ask their opinion on an outfit. It also means that if, like me, you prefer clothing from shops like Topman, they won't let you try it on in the store. I either have to shop in stores that have both male and female fitting rooms and try menswear on in the female fitting room, or just take the clothes home and bring them back for a refund if they don't fit. In the UK, certainly, shops are pretty strict about stopping men going into women's changing rooms, and vice versa.

Men aren't allowed in female fitting/change rooms in some stores because some people decided it was a good idea to express their spontaneity and have sex. And if you're asking yourself 'that question'... The answer is yes.
