Today, I went to Men's Warehouse to pick up my tux. They mistakenly set the pick-up date for the 30th of next month. My prom is tomorrow. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my prom dress finally arrived. My prom was yesterday. FML
Today, I got to try on a stunning suit that made me the handsomest man in the world. Upcoming prom? No. Wedding? No. I attended a date... A court date. FML
Today, I got a call that my custom order bridesmaid dress is at the apartment complex I just moved out of. They won’t give it to me because I’m no longer a resident, but they just thought I should know. The wedding’s tomorrow. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. Everything went great, except that no one showed up. Apparently, the address of the invitation was typed wrong. FML
Today, I went to pick up my wedding dress from the seamstress, only to find out that my fiancé called two weeks ago to say I wanted the dress "tie-dyed to match our new theme." She believed him. Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, I dressed up for a date. After waiting for hours, sending countless texts and voice mails to my date, and thinking I'd been stood up, I remembered my date is actually scheduled for tomorrow. FML
Today, I accidentally slept in two hours later than I was supposed to. Today is my wedding day. FML
Today, my prom dress came in the mail. I don't know what happened with the tailoring but not only does it not fit, but it also looks like deli meat. 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, my wardrobe door jammed, and I couldn't change out into some nice clothes for my date. On the way there, my car broke down. Not wanting to be late and make a bad impression, I scuttled the rest of the way, only to find I'd been stood up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should definitely complain! This is entirely their fault if they wrote the date down wrong, and they should do everything they can to remediate the problem for you. Maybe they could have it ready the next day (though I'm assuming it's probably too late by now).

Pro-tip: always pick up several days before a big event. That way, at least if there IS an error, you have some time to correct it or work around it.

Don't look at me. I've run out of tux to give. If the Men's Wearhouse doesn't fix the problem, you ought to go to your prom nude in protest. It worked great for Lady Godiva. She went naked and got free chocolate.

This exactly. Why'd they wait so long, anyway, I wonder? Everyone knows you never pick up something at the last minute. It's common sense to pick up, at least, a week in advance. It sucks that it happened and, yes, MW's should do everything they can to make it right, but it's also a little bit of a YDI because they waited until the day before to check on/pick up their tux.

but if OP is just renting then they are getting charged by the day and that gets expensive quickly

As a plan B, maybe contact some family members to see if they have suits you can borrow? They are still reasonably common in some workplaces.

You should have ordered from Mens Wearhouse instead.
