Today, I was shopping, and tried on a skirt that was a size smaller than usual, thinking that I would fit in. Not only did it not fit, neither I nor the sales assistant could get it off me, because the zip got stuck. She had to cut me out of it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried on a sweater in a store. It was a bit tight, but I managed to get it on. When I tried to take it off, it got stuck halfway. After several failed attempts, a sales associate had to help me out of it, while other customers watched. FML
Today, I got stuck in a dress in the fitting room and had to call the sales associate for help. She had to crawl under the door to rescue me. FML
Today, I was at my friend's house, and I asked if I could try on one of her dresses. It was a little snug, but I got it on. When it came time to take it off though, it wouldn't budge. My friend and her mom had to cut it off me. FML
Today, I tried on a tight sweater at the mall. It got stuck halfway over my head, and I couldn’t get it off. I had to shuffle out of the changing room, arms trapped in the air, and ask the clerk for help while blinded by the fabric. FML
Today, I tried on a dress for prom. It took a while to zip, but I insisted it'd fit. I asked for help. When the lady finally managed to zip all the way, the dress completely ripped at the seams. Not only did I have to pay $169 for it, but the lady told me, “We have more dresses in the plus-sized section!” FML
Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML
Today, I tried a polo neck sweater on at a store, and when I tried to take it off, it got stuck halfway over my head. I panicked and tugged harder, only to realize I was now stuck inside, unable to get it off. A store employee finally saw me struggling and came help me. I'm never going back there again. FML
Today, I was trying on clothes in a store that had just screens set up for changing. As I took off the first pair of pants had I tried on, my foot got hooked in the cuff and I fell out in my underwear in front of the whole store. FML
Today, I was excited about my friend going wedding dress shopping, so before I went to go work out, I decided to try on a prom dress from high school to remember what it felt like to get dressed up. It was too tight, I broke the zipper, and spent 45 minutes trapped before I cut myself out. 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

FYL! Did you have to pay for it?

There's no way that's 1 size down, unless you're wearing too tight of clothing to begin with.

You absolutely deserve it.. You knew it was a "size smaller than usual" why squeeze into it?

You have my sympathy OP. I wish they didn't size things differently in every store. I'm a large but sometimes I can fit comfortably in a medium. It depends on who makes/sells the clothes.

This is when I would suggest someone like OP to get one with the size they usually wear, one with larger and one with smaller. Then try the larger one and go down the list rather, and NOT take the smaller one and force that up her ass unless her usual size was loose enough.

You know people usually try their size an then go down sizes if it is too big?

It says the zipper got stuck. Zippers can get stuck even when clothes do fit, she's not some kind of fat pig because of that.

To truckers "LTL" means less than truck load. Is op's name an estimate of the size of cheezburger she'd make?

I avoid clothing shopping as if it were the plague. when I sometimes manage to drag myself to a store I get the first thing I like in a size slightly bigger then my own for comfort and leave. I hate shopping soooo much!!

If you have to fight for the zipper to come up it doesn't fit. To bad you didn't know that before hand. I'm sorry that sucks that it happen though.
