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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

Ok. I don't usually comment on these, but all of you that are saying bigger girls should not wear skinny jeans are incorrect. Do you know how ridiculous it looks to wear tall boots with jeans that aren't skinny jeans? Just because they are labeled skinny jeans doesn't mean they have to be too small. If they fit properly, there's nothing wrong with them. I do have to say that it is extremely hard to find skinny jeans that fit bigger girls properly (it's hard to find pants that fit properly in general because they are all made for skinny girls, just in a larger size and it doesn't work,) but if you can find some, they don't look bad. If they don't fit, then obviously they will look bad. A girl that is size 2 and trying wear a size 0 will look bad. About the post, if OP's boss thinks that she's too "fat" to wear skinny jeans, he would probably have a problem with anything she wore. If her clothes were inappropriate, that's a different story, and should have been addressed differently.

Do you know how gross it is when fat people wear skinny clothes? I stand by my previous statement.

So because the OP got offended at her boss for being blunt and straight forward, he deserves to lose his job? He's a manager for a reason. Not saying this didn't happen but sometimes people insert words where other words were or exaggerate things to get sympathy. The boss does not deserve to get fired because one persons feelings are hurt, plus the manager probably has a family he's supporting with his job. So bc OP get angry at the boss, the boss and his family have to physically suffer for the OP minuet emotional suffering...think about it.

Boss is a douche, but, in the long run he probably did you a favour, if you fit into skinny jeans you're probably not that fat, but you should pick things which are more flattering. Also, ignore whoever suggested you try a sexual harassment lawsuit, that's ******* retarded.
