Today, my girlfriend went shopping at Victoria's Secret with me. While she was in the fitting room, her parents walked by and saw me. They don't approve of the store, so I panicked and told them I was considering becoming a woman. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was shopping with my girlfriend at the mall at Victoria's Secret. We got separated, after which I saw 3 of my students. I teach middle school. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my friend when I saw my boyfriend in Victoria's Secret - with another girl. They were joking and laughing, and I was really pissed off. So I stormed into the store and slapped him. He looked up at me with an angry and confused expression. It wasn't my boyfriend. FML
Today, I had my girlfriend over for dinner with my family. My father had dressed up as a girl for a recent gig of his at a local pub. This got somehow brought up at the table. The rest of the dinner conversation consisted of him and my girlfriend discussing bras and lingerie. FML
Today, I took my mom to Victoria's Secret to help her find a bra. She made me try one on to see if it looked good on me. Turns out we have the same cup size. I'm a guy. FML
Today, I went shopping with my boyfriend. He tried on a pair of trousers which didn't fit, so he asked me to change them, so off I went. I returned with another pair for him to try on, found him bent over and blurted out, "What's with the terrible underwear?" I'd entered the wrong changing room. FML
Today, my daughter asked me to take her to Victoria's Secret so I could buy her some "sexy clothes". She's 9. FML
Today, I went to the shops with my little sister. We had to walk through the lingerie section of the store to get to another part. My sister then yelled at the top of her voice, "Stop following me, you freak." I had security escort me out of the store, and got many dirty looks. She thought it was hilarious. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy groceries. I didn't care how I looked, so I wore an old shirt that said, "Thousands of my potential children died on your daughter's face last night." I ran into my girlfriend's parents at the store. 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 went to a store to buy a man's thong because my girlfriend wanted me to. When I went in I also grabbed some lingerie for her. Thinking I was being clever I wrapped it up in a t-shirt so no one would notice and went to checkout. The cashier then called for a price check on the thong. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It said they walked by the store not in it

Out of all the things you could've said, that's probably the most fabulous! I hope they took it as a joke OP, that's hilarious :-)

Couldn't you stand outside or something? And wouldn't they know you had a date that day?

Why didn't you just say that you were with your girlfriend, that's a legitimate excuse. If they don't approve then they should tell their own kid not to be in the store. It's not your fault for being a nice guy and taking her there.

Um, yes she is. It was her parents... Read the FML

It was his girlfriend's parents, and he said they didn't approve of the store.

obviously this guy has never had a girlfriend. im sure if her parents caught the couple having sex, he wouldnt be able to say "i was just being a nice guy and making her feel good" and it be a legitimate excuse

You should've went inside the fitting room with her. That's what I did

Most every Victoria's Secret has a store policy forbidding that.

I thought OP was a girl at first because it says the girlfriend was shopping there "with me". That made me think OP was going to Victoria's Secret and the gf was tagging along. O_o

I assumed it was a guy, but I questioned why he would be shopping there because of how he worded it.

Haha of all the possible excuses you went with that one, good call

Well don't leave us hanging, how'd that go over?

That should clear things up.

"They don't approve of the store"--It's nice, comfortable bras/underwear. What, are they against undergarments?

I could be completely wrong but we just got it in the UK and it just seems kinda trashy? The shows that seem more like a softcore strip club than a live catalogue...girls wearing completely impractical outfits and being overly cutesy like those late night phone line adverts...the barely legal Justin Bieber oggling girls...just seems like the shows are aimed more at guys than girls. Also, the bras are not actually that amazing and therefore seem overpriced - I'd pay that much or more for a good bra but VS ones don't seem like they're worth that much. I'm sure I'll get waaaay thumbed down, but that's just the perspective of someone who doesn't know it that well. So maybe that's their view too? Also I LOVE nice lingerie, it's almost an obsession, so it's not like I'm a prude...but I probably wouldn't shop at VS.

They probably just don't approve of the marketing. I've seen their commercials; if anything, you'd think Victoria's Secret was marketing toward men, not women. It's like the Hardee's commercials where supermodels are eating their burgers through a wide-angle lens; they have a particular demographic in mind.

Victoria's Secret lingerie is the kind you get for taking off with a partner later. The stuff is cute but crap. There are only standard size bras, no custom ones, and badly designed for women above D cup. VS gave me a 34-C...I am a 30-DD. It's a rare size and only a few lines make them. VS would never, ever. Ladies, if you want a proper bra that feels amazing and has good engineering go to a proper boutique where you get a consultant with a professional bra expert. They carry a lot of different ranges and lines. Not really THAT much more expensive than a trip to VS since you're bound to be sucked into buying overpriced pajamas and perfume and shit too.

Yeah not all of victoria's secret is just lingerie "for taking off". I buy all my bras and underwear from there because a) they offer measured fittings either over or under the bra in the dressing room (whichever you're more comfortable with) b) for people who have size D and under, their undergarments are amazingly comfortable and relatively affordable (you pay a bit more than you would at the department store but the bras last for years and I've never had to throw out a pair of their underwear). And if you're banning your kids from shopping at a place because they use sex and sexuality to advertise, you might as well force them to farm their own food and sew their own clothes, most companies are the same.

if they don't approve of the store then there in for a rude awaking when they figure out she was shopping there.

That's the first excuse that came out?! I think helping your Dad shop for you Mom would have even been better than that awkwardness lol....

Because that wouldn't have been weird at all to people who already hate the store.
