Today, I was approached by a What Not to Wear kind of show, where you get money to buy a new wardrobe. I was so excited that I fainted. They revoked the offer, reasoning that someone who faints so easily would be too much of a liability risk. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a very important job interview. I was so nervous that I passed out right in front of the interviewer's desk. FML
Today, my friends gave me a complete makeover, which included clothes from their wardrobe, to prepare me for an upcoming job interview. I was then declined the position, because apparently, I "looked too wealthy" to need the job. FML
Today, I was shopping in a packed store when I started to feel faint. Since I was quite far along in the queue, I tried to hold out until I reached the front of the queue. Good news: I succeeded. Bad news: I then fainted at the counter, hit my nose, and shit myself. FML
Today, I had my first interview in over a year. I panicked and passed out. FML
Today, at work, I had some palpitations, which ultimately caused me to become hot, dizzy, and pass out. I couldn't go home because we were so short staffed, and three different colleagues asked me if I was pregnant. FML
Today, I'd signed up to try a workout class at the gym. However, as soon as the instructor started the class, I realized it was much more intense than I had anticipated. I ended up passing out and had to be carried out of the class by the instructor. FML
Today, I tried donating blood for the first time because my company was hosting a blood drive. Right after telling everyone I wasn't afraid of needles, I fainted before they could even use one. I woke up surrounded by phlebotomists offering me juice while my coworkers whooped like I'd just scored a goal. FML
Today, I passed out on the way to work. Some lucky passerby took this as an opportunity to help themself to my purse. FML
Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but I was so nervous that I had a panic attack, fainted and split my head open. My girlfriend then fainted at the sight of the blood. An onlooker had to call an ambulance for both of us. FML
Today, I went to a big job interview. As I walked in, I tripped and fell flat on my face. Other highlights include my voice cracking multiple times, sweating profusely and getting uncontrollable nervous giggling. The interviewer eventually stared at me in disbelief and asked if I was high. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You sure your wardrobe wasn't the actual liability risk?

Well OP, I'm inclined to agree with them. That's hardly something to faint over. Although if it was a "What Not To Wear" type show, you've been insulted by them twice. You're apparently poorly dressed AND a liability.

That sucks. But apparently so does your wardrobe. Sorry, that's mean of me. Take it as a reason to go buy yourself some new clothes! You don't need people making fun of your clothing choices.

Not everyone has the money to buy new clothes, some people just have to go thrift shoppin'.

I'm assuming OP got excited BECAUSE they don't have money to buy new clothes...

Thrift shops are fun. :D I think people assume that you have to spend big to look nice...or that thrift shops only sell dirty, old, out-of-fashion clothing. But some of my favorite clothing pieces are from thrift shops...and have lasted longer than some of my more expensive pieces too. And they only cost a couple of bucks too! If you're that worried about your dress sense OP to the point where it makes you faint, maybe you SHOULD start looking for some nicer clothing...

It excited you that they told you your fashion sense sucks? You wanna have a party? Your face is ugly and your eyes don't match. Cheers!

I don't know if I would be excited, what was so bad about your wardrobe? I saw those shows in the early 2000's, sometimes the outfits they came out with were bad. But, who knows!

Actually, it's probably more of a way for them to say "we don't want to get sued"

If your wardrobe was bad enough to get picked for a television makeover, maybe you'll get another opportunity in the future. Chin up, OP. :)
