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!

Wow! It's not her job to comment on your size. What an ass she is!

Part of the reason I use self check-outs is to avoid unpleasant conversations from cashiers. Some of them just don't know when to keep their opinions to themselves. At least the self check-out thanks me for being a customer and tells me to have a lovely day.

Your name is shut the **** up?! Cool! My mom named me something lame and generic.

Not that it's any of their business, but it could have been an ambitious goal. Meant in the way that if you were going to the gym, something smaller is your goal to get slim to fit into it. I know it was for a friend, but I have friends who purposefully buy smaller clothes to give them more motivation to get into them. Besides, you are who you are. I'm sure you're not big, but even if you are, what does it matter to the cashier?! Be happy with how you are and if you're not - change it.

That's so rude, it's okay she's bitter because she has no other goals in life

Not like size 0 is attractive in the first place...

I know! My aim is a US size 4-6, anything lower is just yucky.

72 + 87 yeah body shaming is so cool! Awesome! How about you guys just feel comfortable with your own bodies and don't insult other people based on theirs, hmm? Some people are naturally thin. Judging others like that is a huge indication of your insecurities.

I didn't insult anyone. I stated that I don't find size 0 women attractive. You're just being overly sensitive.

Calling someone unattractive is an insult, FYI. And insulting someone for being skinny is just as bad as insulting someone for being fat.

So, basically, I'm not allowed to find certain body types unattractive? OK

You don't hear everyone else spouting off about what they like or dislike. The fact of the matter here is that the cashier was rude as all hell and there was no need for her to say anything. She can think all she wants just as you can think about what you don't like or what you like anytime you want. But no one needs to hear that negativity. None of us care about your preferences.

I would have responded with something like "You are too, thinking you'll have a job if you keep talking to people like that."

Screw the boss, they needs to learn the real meaning of punishment. Kick some ass, OP.

I cannot BELIEVE that she said that. She was totally OUT OF LINE, DISRESPECTFUL, and WRONG. You're beautiful the way you are, and she was basically dissing and making fun of your precious body. I hope that you reported her to her manager...

Wow, you went all in with that comment, didn't you. Of course the cashier was a retard, but you kinda make it worse.
