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

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

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.

Around here when someone says 'suit' they can mean 'bathing suit'. If I was invited to a backyard BBQ, I would assume a bathing suit as well. If someone had meant a business suit, usually 'suit and tie' is said. I don't blame you for misunderstanding... but why would you only be wearing a bathing suit? I'd have worn it underneath regular clothes or brought it along with me so I could change back into my dry clothes after swimming.

Around here too, especially since most of us live nearly on the beach...

And to think that all this could have been avoided had you only asked "What kind of suit?"

I mean, maybe she should have clarified, but I have NEVER heard of people wearing business attire to a cookout - it tends to be a casual affair, so how can you blame her for assuming a swimsuit is appropriate? At least where I live, people say "suit" rather than swimsuit...more often than not, in fact.

at least you did not think birthday suit and assume she is a nudist? lol.

it says that it's co-workers that went to the cookout so obv it was like a work thing so that explains why they were all wearing suits. on that note, you fail for wearing a bathing suit.

I think that if someone said "suit" to me, as a female, I would be forced to ask what kind of suit they meant. I just associate the term "suit" with man-suits. Sure, there are woman-suits too, but the term itself is confusing. If I was just assuming one kind of suit, it would be the business kind, however. People normally call the bikini type a "bathing suit" or "swimsuit". You should have asked about this one. Also, who wears a bikini around co-workers??
