Today, my shoe fell apart a few minutes after I got to work. I called my boyfriend and asked him to bring me the "pretty black pair" in my closet. What did he bring? Black stilettos. I'm a waitress with an eight-hour shift. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I wore a new pair of shoes to work. By lunchtime, my feet were covered in blisters and I had to limp my way through the rest of the day. FML
Today, after 7 hours on my feet at work, my boyfriend picked me up. Relieved, I took off my shoes. Suddenly, he looked up and sniffed, asking, "Is that your feet?" I'd forgotten to put on socks in my rush to work. He made me put my shoes back on and sit in the back, windows open. FML
Today, I went on the first date I've been on in years. While walking into the movie theatre, one of my shoes broke. Then I remembered that I needed to grab my mask. While walking back to the car, my other shoe broke. After the movie, I tripped on my broken shoes, and brought him down with me. FML
Today, my girlfriend was in the back seat of a car with one of my friends when she got sick and puked all over one of his dress shoes. My friend then asked me to replace his shoes, since she is technically unemployed and couldn't pay him back. We eventually agreed that I would pay for one shoe. FML
Today, I was at work, and I had to tell my manager I was calling someone to bring me a bra as mine had broken mid-shift. I was the only woman on shift. It took them 30 minutes to show up and I still had to serve front of house while I waited. FML
Today, I received the heels I'll be wearing at my best friend's wedding. The bride ordered them for us to match the dresses. They're six-inch platform heels. I have three broken toes and am still wearing a boot. The wedding is next weekend. FML
Today, as I was getting ready for church, I couldn't decide between my black or white shoes. I put one of each on, then my son started crying. Fast forward, I'm at church, I look down and I'm wearing one white shoe and one black shoe. FML
Today, I wore my new shoes to work, feeling confident. Halfway through the day, I found out that I'd forgotten to remove a giant price sticker on the left sole. My boss pointed it out during a meeting, as I crossed my legs. FML
Today, while trying on clothes in Macy's, someone decided to throw some shoes over the wall and into my changing stall. I now have a black eye. FML
Today, I asked my husband if I should wear my black or red heels with my dress. He looked me up and down from the sofa and said, “We needed to leave 45 minutes ago to have any prayer of getting there on time, I'm now watching TV, so you and your heels please leave me alone now.” Oops. FML

I guess if you say 'pretty black pair' it makes your boyfriend think of a shoe like that. Maybe just say 'black pair' next time.

At least they were YOUR stilettos, right?

Just ask him to bring you the pair you want and wear the stilettos until he gets them to you :)

I can see how they classify as the "pretty black pair", and I can understand how a man's view of pretty (or rather, sexy) shoes can differ from a woman's... But how can anyone on this earth actually believe that one could work a whole shift in stilettos? Even someone who has never worn heels can figure out they're not the least bit comfortable.

It pprobably wouldn't occur to me that women wear uncomfortable shoes. plus, she said 'pretty'. What kind of description is that?

if the shoes aren't comfortable, why buy them in the first place?

Because beauty is pain... Or some bullshit the media and retailers want us women to believe.

I don't find heels sexy at all. My girlfriend does but I'm too distracted by everything above them to ever look down at...feet....and footwear. But if I was asked to get the 'pretty black shoes', I would of gotten the heels. Depending on her shoe closet, a better description may be needed for anyone to choose the right one

You deserve it for being so vague, can't just expect the guy to read your mind.

Well, I'm sure the stilettos were pretty. Maybe you should have been more specific?

You poor dear!!!!!
Mr_Mole 24
It is kinda your fault. You should have been more specific. Have you never encountered a man and how we work before?

pahaha never try to explain a type of shoe, or clothing for that matter, to boys.
Faff 20
Actually, the problem was that she didn't explain
