Today, while shopping for a birthday present for my size 0 friend, I picked out a pair of pants for her. When paying, the cashier looked me up and down and said, "Well, you're pretty optimistic aren't you?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, a customer said the pants she was buying rang up more than advertised. I quietly told her plus-sizes were not on sale. The customer yelled in front of a whole line of people, "So I'm fat and can't read! Any other insults you'd like to throw at me?" and stormed out of the store. 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, 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 greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my friend. A lady came up to us and told my friend that she could be a model. Then the lady looked at me and said, "Oh... Nice shoes." FML
Today, I was trying on wedding dresses with my future sister-in-law who is a little bigger than me. We tried on a similar dress and she said it looked better on me because I'm skinny. Instead of saying, "No way" or "It looks great on you", I accidentally said, "Yeah, I know." FML
Today, I bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sucks OP. Some people truly need a filter.

They shouldn't have a job.

It takes a zero to know one.

Even if you were buying them for yourself, it's none of her damn business.

Who said they were for you?

Correct response to this would be "and I'm pretty optimistic you're being a ******* jackass right now" :) what a bitch for a cashier.

Correct response: this is a gift for a friend, and I'm quite comfortable in my own skin, thank you. Unless you aren't, then you should get on that. :P

So far we have 3 "correct responses." Which one is actually right?

'jumble of loud letters' made me snort an unreasonable amount. Kudos on that one :)

If I were a woman, I'd be happy to not be a size 0. That is far too skinny, imo... Granted I've the BMI of a 15 or 16 yr old.

BMI is adjusted for age. There is no such thing as a "BMI of a 15 or 16-year-old".

Do you mean it's "not?"

21, it's a big differense if a 1,90cm long person is size 0 or if it's a 1,50 cm. Just thought you should have that in mind, not all are the same.

mfflicious, people arent 1.5 cm tall. please learn units.
Mifflicious 18
That's how we write it here, too bad if it's not the same way in your country and you haven't bothered to learn that things are not written the same way everywhere.

#100 you should learn to write/read. you clearly wrote 1,90 cm, and 1,50 cm. and people really aren't that short. you mean 1,90/1,50m.

#121 relax its just a bunch of people arguing.

Maybe you should learn to read 116? She just said that that is the way people write in her country. I don't know which country writes it that way but, assuming she's telling the truth, and atm I don't have any reason to believe otherwise (I often see people divide the thousands like that - 1,100 instead of 1000 - so it's not that crazy to think that a different country might do that with hundreds), I don't see why you have to be so rude.

138 - there are two different systems for writing large numbers. North America uses periods to denote fractional amounts while usung commas for numbers larger than 3 digits to make it easier to read (1,000.00). Many European countries use the opposite system (1.000,00). It just takes some getting used to.

I'm a size 00 and I'm perfectly healthy. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being slender, as long as you aren't sacrificing your physical/mental health and well-being to get there. Fast metabolism means I'll stay this way no matter what until it slows down, but I still have curves and I'm still quite strong for my size, so go suck an egg :P

What a bitch. You should complain.

Meant to thumb you up. Sorry, but your comment wins!

Optimism is very rarely a bad thing. The cashier obviously doesn't understand that, and that's their loss not yours.
