Today, I went shopping with my friend. The store was having a special where if you spend over $75 you receive a free T-shirt. I paid for my items and my total was over $75. The salesman didn't hand me a shirt so I asked him for one. He looks at me and says "I'm sorry, we only have Mediums." FML

Today, it was my first day at my new job, which requires you to wear a special shirt. Come to find out, they only have medium sized shirts. I'm an XL. They demanded I wear the shirt anyway. FML

Today, I donated blood at a blood drive. As is the usual for blood drives, I was offered a shirt after donating. The worker handing out the shirts asked me for my size. I said that I was a medium. He looked me over, then asked, "Are you sure?" FML

Today, I went shopping with a friend. She went to try some clothes on and came out to ask for my opinion. "Hell no! That shirt is awful!" She wanted to show me the pants. The shirt was hers. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some new shirts. I tried them on and none of them fit. When I walked out to return the shirts, everybody was staring at me. I looked down to see why. I'd forgotten to put my original shirt back on. FML

Silver linings

Today, I went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I was feeling good about the fact that I was going down a waist size until the cashier decided to discuss with me, three co-workers, and the ten other people in line how she didn't even know jeans came in sizes that big. FML

Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML

Today, while standing in line at the grocery store, I noticed that myself and the woman in front of me were wearing the same shirt. As she was about to leave, I said to her "Hey! I'm wearing that shirt!" She turned to me and replied, "Not in THIS size you aren't." FML

Today, my friends and I were shopping for dresses. I asked the lady at the counter for a size 4, she looked at me and mumbled, "Yeah, right…" in front of everyone. FML

Late start

Today, I was planning on meeting my friend at the mall. She came late, and I was in the dressing room trying on a few things. When I came out to meet her, she looked at me oddly and said, "You shouldn't buy that, it looks terrible on you." Those were the clothes I came in. FML

Today, my friend insisted I wear her brand new hoodie for the day. When I gave it back after a few hours, she said she just needed it stretched and couldn't find someone fatter to stretch it for her. FML

Well, are you size medium or smaller? Your size is plain to see by everyone, if you're bigger than a medium, people are going to know and that's nothing to be ashamed of. It's a fact, not an insult.

Well...I'm assuming he folded the shirts into the bag, which meant he saw the tags. In that case, you can't really blame him, can you? It wouldn't be of much use offering a medium to a x-small.

Wow, that was pretty rude - how could he even know it was for you? I give away free gifts I get constantly, to friends and nephews and so on. If you spent the money, you deserved the shirt, what size was none of his business.

Wow. I have a friend who walked into a clothes shop, only to have a sales assistant say "I don't think any of our stuff will fit you." She's also been congratulated and asked when she's expecting - she's not pregnant.

Who cares what the sales guy said! If the OP is fat then people should call them out! I don't see how this is any different than people telling smokers they shouldn't smoke, and people seem to have no inhibitions about that! Exercise and maybe you'll look like a medium eventually!

Wow... I'm a pretty small girl myself and I usually get a large because the cheapy shirts that are usually used for free shirts are only good for relaxing around the house. It's really sad to see what counts as FML's.. be a big girl/boy and move the **** on. Starving kids in Africa and all that...

Uh, yeah, that's when you tell the employee that he/she is working at a clothing store for a reason and it's not to judge people by their weights, you complain the manager or person in charge and you get more free crap. I'll be damned before I let some high school or college student, much less a grown man or woman to tell me what size is good for me. Just give me the damn shirt and keep your opinions to yourself.
