Today, one of my co-workers invited me to a cookout at her house with some other people from my new job. She said to wear my suit. Assuming she had a pool, I showed up in a bikini, only to find everyone else wearing business attire and staring at me like I had lost my mind. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we had a get together for work at a restaurant I've never heard of. After spending all week trying to make a good impression on my new boss and co-workers, I showed up in a pair of shorts and a Star Wars T-Shirt. Turns out it was one of the fanciest restaurants in town. FML
Today, at a pool party, I had forgotten to bring a swim suit, so I went in in my bra and shorts. After everyone screaming and telling me to put my shirt back on, I asked, "Why? It's the same as a bikini." My best friend told me it was because no one wanted to see me topless. FML
Today, I showed up to a meeting without my pants and had to pretend it was part of my outfit. FML
Today, I walked into work, and the first question my boss asks me is "Are those your pajamas?" I was wearing my favorite outfit. FML
Today, I went to the pool with my new white bathers. I felt really good about myself because everyone was staring at me until this hot guy came up to me and said "Dude, your bathers are see-through. You need to shave!" FML
Today, I walked into our office and everyone started laughing. It turns out that I'd been the only one not in on the joke to come in dressed as a character from our favorite TV show. However, I'd dressed in normal work clothes. I’m the boss. FML
Today, I went to work in my best outfit for the big corporate party we were having later in the day. When I arrived, my boss said, "You missed one hell of a party yesterday!" Shit. FML
Today, I wore a suit to my first day at a new job to make a good impression. When I arrived, I discovered it was a “casual dress” company where everyone wears hoodies and sneakers. My new nickname? “The Accountant.” I don’t even work in finance. FML
Today, I was invited to a fancy-shmancy charity event, and the host - my friend - told me to wear a long, ballroom, fancy gown. Turns out my friend was just being a dick and it was a pool party. I spent $200 on my hair and makeup alone. FML
Today, I got back from a fun vacation I took with my husband. During the vacation, I participated in a wet t-shirt contest and a bunch of pictures of me flashing my breasts and waving my t shirt over my head during the contest got posted online. My whole office is teasing me now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would they be wearing business suits to a cookout? Who does that?

Not so much an FML, you should have asked her to specify. You'll be made fun of, and laughed at about it later.. I suggest when that time comes make a snazzy comment like "Well, I stood out and I had the best outfit there. Always expect me to make an entran (e(insert wink he) e)" Don't dwell on it too much, it'll drive you insane.

#10 - Yes, I actually have. It's not like they're unheard of. Heck, some people I know wear a suit every day.

i would expect anyone who shows up to a cookout in a suit to have mental illness/retardation

What kind of stupid cookout calls for a damn business suit? Why not just dress casually for a simple outdoor picnic?

I thought this was a guy writing it at first, but why would you just walk right in, in a bikini in the first place lol

I can't fathom the logic in hearing "suit" and assuming "bikini" under any circumstances, to be honest... But hell, I'd have just shrugged, laughed and stayed the whole night in the bikini, you'd never be short of conversation all night :)

This reminds me of an Archie comic.

I think I know which one you're talking about. Is it the one where they get invited to a pool party and show up in bikinis but it turns out to be the game and not a swimming party?

That's the exact one. I've read that too, it was one of those 1 page segments.

Weren't you wearing anything over your bikini when you got there? What are you bikini girl?

You kind of deserved it for just assuming she meant bathing suit. But I can understand why that would seem like a more reasonable assumption than a formal suit! Who has a cookout with a formal dress code?!
