Today, I was working the cash register. While helping a customer with her groceries, my bra snapped. I then had to ask my male boss if I could staple it back together. Thirty minutes later it snapped again. I then had to explain to my boss that I was too broke to buy a new one. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my bra burst apart in the middle of class. I then had the privilege of asking my male teacher if I could borrow his stapler to put it back together. FML
Today, I was at work, and I had to tell my manager I was calling someone to bring me a bra as mine had broken mid-shift. I was the only woman on shift. It took them 30 minutes to show up and I still had to serve front of house while I waited. FML
Today, since I'm too broke to get a new one, I had to duct tape my bra. FML
Today, my pants ripped while I was at work. I had to keep my balls to the wall while I dodged customers and edged ever closer to the break room. Before I could call my wife and ask her to bring a new pair, my boss burst in, got pissed, and made me go back out and deal with irate customers. FML
Today, the underwire in my bra snapped as my 9-hour workday started. FML
Today, my boss asked me to pick up some supplies for a presentation. I entered the store in the middle of an armed robbery, was knocked to the floor, and had my cash, phone and credit cards stolen. When I told my boss the story, she said, "So were you able to get the binder clips?" FML
Today, at work, the seat of my pants ripped open. A coworker lent me a pair of his back-up jeans, and then those ripped in the crotch. FML
Today, I'm a cashier in a grocery store. The visiting regional manager tore me a new one for being lazy. His reason? After working a double shift with no break, I decided to sit down for a minute when things got slow. FML
Today, at work, my front-close bra popped open like an anime character, right in front of the two male coworkers I was talking to. My boobs flung around and I had to pretend nothing happened while subtly crossing my arms and waiting for them to leave so I could fix it. FML
Today, my bra clasp broke in the middle of a job interview. I got the job on the spot. I'm scared to report into work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's why sports bras are best for work. No chance of it snapping. And it's so much more comfy.

Perfect excuse for a raise.

Walmart has decent bras for cheap. The elasticity doesn't hold up quite as long as more expensive ones, but it'll last you a few months while you save up for a good one.

Just go without a bra

Honestly, just steal a bra from Walmart if you're that bad off. Walmart is evil anyway

Yes, because stealing is obviously the answer. Why did I not think of that? *shakes head in despair*

Why did you have to ask your boss? If you needed help stapling it you should've asked a female co-worker. But I understand! I can relate

Seriously, didn't you know your bra was too small/ incorrectly fitting?? These same stories of girls' bras snapping is happening way too commonly. Additionally--- Are you really trying to say you only have ONE bra??? If you are of a strange extra large size that is difficult to find that may be one thing. But I mean, seriously-- who only has one bra?? Maybe if you're 13 and just starting puberty, idk. Money may be an issue for you-- but the one would get worn out/ nasty really quickly because I assume it'd be a pain to wash it every few days-- so you'd have to buy a new one sooner anyway than if you even had 2.

Err, the bra might have snapped because it was old and came undone...

Well, if that was the case (and not it being too small, yet we can't know unless OP responds..) it would be solved by having more than 1 bra regardless. If you have atleast 2 bras-- they'd each be worn less and each last longer, typically. I have several bras that are atleast 3 years old-- and in almost perfect shape despite tons of laundry washes, & they were really cheap from Target too. Sorry I wasn't that clear with my post.

so you have a job, but you don't have any money to buy a bra? wtf are you doing with your money flush it down the toilet?
fleur_de_fevrier_fml 23
Well it's sad to say but some people are so riddled with debts (especially in the USA after 8 years of Bush's catastrophic policies) that their own salary isn't enough to cover unplanned expenses, even the smallest ones. I imagine a cash register employee salary is not very high so yes it can happen without "flushing your money down the toilets."
