Today, my daughter came home in tears, completely distraught. It took half an hour to convince her to tell me what was wrong. What horrific thing happened to her? One of her friends wore the same outfit as her to the movies, and apparently that's a betrayal of their friendship. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm so strapped for cash, I had to send my daughter to play with my neighbor's daughter, both are 5, because she gets fed there. She suddenly came home saying they're not friends anymore, bragging how she hit her and she bled while crying. Why? She bought 2 new toys and gave her one, so they have the same. FML
Today, I learned from my daughter's teacher that she has been wearing the same shirt for the past few weeks, ever since we had a fight about how I don't pay attention to her. FML
Today, our daughter was going to a cosplay event, until her dad saw the costume, or lack thereof, that she was planning to wear in public, with people taking photographs of her. He got so mad, he actually burst a blood vessel in his neck and had to go to hospital. She still went to the event. FML
Today, I walked in on my daughter hugging and sobbing into her Edward Cullen cut-out. She won't tell me what's wrong, yet she can confide in a creepy fictional stalker whose facial expression is locked to "chronically constipated". Where did I go wrong? FML
Today, my daughter came crying to me that her boyfriend cheated on her. I'd like to comfort her, if it weren't for the fact that she manipulated him into cheating on his previous girlfriend with her. FML
Today, I went to the movies with a girl I like, then we went to grab a bite afterwards. She spent most of the time telling me how much she dislikes my best friend because he hooked up with a new girl. I then found out the two had been "talking" for a while. FML
Today, my daughter came up to me crying. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me that she had a fight with her imaginary boyfriend. She's 16. I raised this child. FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, my girlfriend got into a huge fight with her mom over the phone. After the fight, she looked ready to cry so I went over to comfort her. She went straight past me, and started confiding in her creepy, extremely expensive dolls instead. FML
Today, after having bought my daughter a complete set of new school clothes, she threw a tantrum and refused to wear them. I told her she could either wear them, or go to school naked. She made if half-way down the street in the nude before I caught up and dragged her back inside. FML

Am I the only guy wondering why this is always a big deal?

You should give her an (out)fitting punishment for such behavior.

Why would you give her a punishment in the first place?

Why are people un-liking this comment? She needs to be punished, and to learn not to be so uptight and spoiled. The world doesn't revolve around you!!

They might have been downvoting the comment because of the pun.

Truly, the horror cannot be overstated.

What an egotistical thing for her to say :-/

It depends on OP's daughter's age though. It's a lot more understandable for a 6-year-old to say that than a sixteen-year-old.

No. Doesn't make any sense to me either.

Not only are you not the only guy, but you're also not the only person regardless of gender. As a female, I don't know why it's a big deal either.

I don't get it. I'm a girl and I would find it funny if my friend wore the same thing as me.
Sandman366 6
It's an "oh, huh" or "that's funny" at worst. Because...what, they knew you were going to wear that and have a copy of your wardrobe just so they can copy you? Unless stalking (impressively), it's coincidence, and pointless to complain about.
fantasyworld 39
29, that's the point I make when someone brings it up. Yes they knew what you were going to wear and did it on purpose.

It's that tragic moment when a young one realizes that they are not unique and special.

I completely agree with you girls. Glad to see there's some out there! I too have never understood why women freak out when someone wears the same outfit. I have seen grown women tell someone (knowing they owned the same dress) they were wearing that dress and that the other girl wasn't allowed to wear it to that event. Adult women doing this. So weird.

I thought girls loved it when that happened :o. "Unintentional twinning!" - Instagram posts it

No, as a girl it confuses me too. For my school formal about 3 of us had the same shoes and we all got a photo together because we thought it was cool.

I'm a teenager and if another girl wore the same outfit by accident, I would've bonded with her over it. The situation in the FML is not normal. Perhaps she made it up because the situation is much more serious?

i thought this only happened in the movies. i don't get it though, I'm pretty sure my friends don't own the same clothes as me. we've got different styles and shop at different stores.

If 2 guys wear the same outfit, = best friends!
sayyestothedress 24
Exactly! Women overreact! Well, I am a woman but not those type of women!

Been there! That was a great day. Still good friends with that guy after 10 years.

If it was two guys they would've immediately bonded over it.

Tell her to take it as a compliment. Clearly, they are such good friends they think alike..

How dare she! I hope you call the girl's mother OP.
