Today, at work, my boss asked me why I wasn't adhering to proper dress code. I pointed out that skinny jeans are in the dress code, to which he replied, "Only if you're skinny." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got called into my manager’s office for wearing “leggings.” They weren’t leggings, they were work pants with a straight leg. I said to her that the other girls wear them in the office. She told me, "But they have a slim figure, you're on the pudgier side and it looks bad. No offense.” FML
Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Today, I got to listen to my boss lecture me about professional dress and subtly insinuate that my being on the heavier side top-wise with all the men in the office could be a problem. I've worn turtle necks for the whole two months I've been working there. FML
Today, I went to my retail job to buy some clothing. As soon as I walked through the doors, my manager yelled at me for not being in appropriate work clothes. I tried to explain that I was off the clock but he was having none of it. I got written up. 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, my boss commented on the fact that I don't usually wear makeup, then told me it would be much appreciated if I'd change that. FML
Today, I had an interview for an office job. As a requirement, I had to show up dressed for the job. My friend has worked there for years and told me it was casual dress. I wore jeans and a blouse. Everyone else had on business suits. Obviously my friend doesn't know what casual means. FML
Today, I watched a supervisor in our workspace staple an underling's skirt to her shirt, as the supervisor didn't like her wearing a hip-level skirt, despite having no public contact. FML
Today, my boss had to order some more work pants since mine were worn out after 7 months. He told me the next set I would have to buy myself, since they usually last workers about 2 years, and I must be treating them too roughly. I didn't want to admit that my thighs rubbing together ended up shredding the fabric. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Yeah.....considering the fact the CDC guestimates that obesity (not just the overweight rate) to be 35%, I think there is a VERY good chance she isn't wearing "skinny" jeans *cough* And no, let's not start the shit with "SHE COULD HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION THAT MAKES HER FAT!" C'mon, the chances of you having that are less than 1%. One third of the population is obese, and less than one percent of the population has a severe condition that inhibits weight loss....Hmmmmm something doesn't seem likely. Cheers to processed foods, and the people who are too stupid to realize WHY they are fat.

It's shallow people like you that make fat people depressed so they get even fatter. Maybe if people stopped worrying about why people are fat and worry about themselves, then fat people would feel more comfortable in doing the things they need to do to lose weight.

Maybe they should take personal responsibility and lose weight to be healthy and not drain society down the line. If you try exercising, you'll feel better about yourself and then be excited to lose the weight and become healthier. The problem is when people suggest you lose weight or give you tips for it, fat people get offended that you're "being mean to them" when really all it is is guidance and/or concern.

You can sue him. That is so inappropriate. Sorry your boss is a douchenugget.

Okay, I'm a chick, & I would have 1.) broken my boss' jaw over that comment; however, 2.) I dress for my SIZE.

They're skinny jeans, not make-you-skinny jeans. Dress for your body type. Trust me, men and women everywhere will appreciate it. There's nothing worse than a woman who doesn't dress for her body type (overweight or skinny).

It seems in my professional opinion, that you are too fat to pull off skinny jeans and is oblivious to the fact that you burn the retinas of those who happen to see you not dressing to match your body. ydi.

Take the hint. Dress weight appropriate.

Everyone who is saying YDI because she needs to dress according to her weight are assumptive asshats. You have no reason to believe that OP is actually fat other than what her boss says, and he himself seems like an asshole. For all you know, OP is skinny and her boss is a prick. Unless you actually know what OP's weight class is, cut the shit.
