Today, I went shopping at a thrift store. I found a really cute top that fit me perfectly, so I bought it. Afterwards, I noticed the original tag was still on it. It read: "designed with your pregnancy in mind". It was a maternity top. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I finally found a cute dress that hugged my curves and hid my imperfections. I wore it to my friend's house, and was feeling pretty good about myself, until some pregnant woman walked into the room wearing the exact same thing. It was a maternity dress. FML
Today, I went to a thrift store and found heaps of clothes that I loved that fit me perfectly. Then I found a special distinctive dress. My dress. My dad had thrown away heaps of my clothes and I had to buy them all back. FML
Today, while shopping for clothes, I asked the assistant to recommend something for me. She took me to the maternity section. Thanks, but I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I bought a new, expensive dress for a date. I left the tag on and hidden in hopes of returning it later. Someone saw it and ripped it off for me to "save me from embarrassment." FML
Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Today, my mother asked a woman at the clothing store we go to all the time when her baby was due. Turns out the woman isn't pregnant. FML
Today, I went to Seattle with my mom to visit my pregnant sister, only to end up being dragged to a store to buy maternity clothes. The saleswoman apologized to me repeatedly for not having a lounge for the fathers, but congratulated me on the baby. I'm a girl. FML
Today, while shopping in the FML store I bought the "Retro Sport Tee," I didn't notice you are supposed to put your own "FML" on the shirt. Mine says "Today, Your Text Here. FML." FML
Today, I was at Target trying on swimsuits. I tried on a medium bottom and was so excited because it fit perfectly even though I've gained a few pounds. My self-esteem was at an all-time high until my mom told me I could never fit into a medium. I rechecked the tag. It was an extra large. FML
Today, I wore a beautiful new dress that I got for £5 only in a sale. I've been turning heads in it all day. When I got home, my mum pulled the massive red £5 tag off of the back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You don't have to be "fat" to fit into maternity clothes, they have them in smalls too, you know.

For every comments section I read on the internet, I lose (not "loose") a little bit more of my faith in humanity. Eugenics and suicide can solve every problem, at least according to some FML readers. OP - fat or thin, be grateful for a nice shirt that fits well, all at a bargain price. Getting all three is unusual. Besides, I see all kinds of cute maternity wear that I would want to wear if it fit, regardless of reproductive status. If you're (not your) pudgy, ignore the idiots who really don't care about you anyway and go see your doctor about it. S/he can help with nutrition, exercise, and anything else you need to get to a weight you are satisfied with. If you're an American minority (i.e. thin), smirk at all of the fatasses who think they're better than you.

That happened to my little sister, when she bought her swimsuit. Don't sweat it too much!

They have extra small maternity tops that look just like babydoll tops... so maybe she's not fat.

Actually, my girlfriend has a top that was a maternity top, and she just wears it as a very sexy, loose, flowing shirt. It looks great.

I bought two pairs of jeans off of the sale rail, the woman at the counter gave me a MASSIVE smile. Got home and realised they were maternity jeans.... They're comfy a buggery though :3

I've gotten a tip that bustier ladies can pull off maternity clothes and have them look natural. Maybe just rip off the tag before you go out in it?
