Today, I spent my entire paycheck on a new summer wardrobe. I then left my shopping bags on the train. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my bag got stolen with all of my belongings at the beach. After being forced to ask strangers for money, I then travelled home on the train for an hour, wearing only a bikini. FML
Today, I finally finished my Christmas shopping and felt like an absolute champion. That was until I got home and realized I'd left one of the shopping bags in the parking lot. The bag contained the most expensive gift I'd bought. FML
Today, I spent about half an hour trying to decide whether to buy a top, because even though it was lovely, it was really expensive. Eventually, after deciding to buy it because I could always return it if I changed my mind, I got home and realised I'd left it on the bus. FML
Today, I went to the supermarket to buy my weekly groceries and only realized after a long queue at the checkout, then having the cashier scan my entire cart, that I'd forgotten my purse. I had to leave everything behind and walk out empty-handed, while everyone in line behind me gave me dirty looks. FML
Today, I got on a two hour train ride to go to a concert. I had been so caught up in handling the train tickets that halfway to the concert, I realized I had left the concert tickets on my dresser. FML
Today, I went to the dry-cleaner's and went to get my bag of laundry from my trunk, but I ended up dropping the bag. My dirty underwear blew around the parking lot. I had to chase it all down as a bunch of people looked on. FML
Today, I went into Target's dressing rooms to try some pants on, leaving my full cart outside. An employee thought it had been left there, and took it to put the stuff back. My coat, hat, gloves were in it. I had to walk home. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store, but once I'd filled my cart, I realized that I'd forgotten my wallet, and because I'm not the sort of animal who just dumps stuff in random aisles, I had to awkwardly put all my items back on their shelves. FML
Today, I left on a 2 month trip. I was in a hurry to pack so I wouldn't miss my plane. There were 2 piles of clothes on my bed. One pile was clothes that didn't fit to take to a thrift store, one was to take with me. Guess which one I brought? FML
Today, I spent my afternoon rummaging through old jeans and other pants, due to being broke and needing cash for ramen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You'd think that if you spent all that money on some clothes, you'd be more careful with the bags. YDI

If money is no object, the situation certainly wouldn't a "FML" moment. I'd imagine it'd be more of a nuisance than anything.

Not necessarily. She could have just found The Perfect Outfit. The Outfit that will guarantee her The Perfect Guy, The Perfect Job... And now it's gone. *sobs & runs away*

40, good god. Enough. Clothes are clothes. Cut the obsession with materialism and be thankful for what you ******* have. There's more to life than the "perfect outfit".

So if YOU spent God knows how long shopping after a day of hard work, then lost all purchased items you wouldn't be saying FML? Doubt it.

Being obsessed with the perfect outfit is not materialism but status anxiety. I'm a materialist and I wear cargo pants. There's nothing wrong with being interested in good food, healthy exercise, mind-blowing sex or comfortable clothing, without worrying about how you look to others.

I've done things like that so often.

This is called charity

I know its stupid to assume, but I cant help but wonder if you just bought the clothing for a thrill or an 'accomplishment' for lack of a better word: if they were so important, I would think you would at least be HOLDING the bags...

She's called Ashley, doesn't that explain everything? She was probably distracted because she was calling all her girlfriends to brag about her new outfits - and annoying the people around her, so nobody warned her when she left her shopping bags. I'm sure Ashley's daddy will pay for new clothes with one hour's worth of his paycheck, but how will she ever find the perfect summer dress in her size and her favorite color again? It's heartbreaking!

Let's hope a homeless person finds them...He/she will be the most stylish hobo on the block...unless you have bad taste.

This is why I'm glad to be a tomboy. My paychecks wouldn't be going toward unnecessary clothing. YDI for not paying attention.

Oh my... I feel your pain. Perhaps it was low blood sugar. When I shop all day I forget to eat and become dazed and forgetful when my blood sugar is low.

I hear this a lot. Is it an unproven excuse or has dieting induced diabetes become an epedemic?
