Today, I was holding on to a shirt that I planned on buying, when an elderly man bumped into me. The shirt fell out of my hand, and slid just out the door. I went to the counter to explain what happened. Everyone accused me of trying to steal it anyway. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was shopping at a store from which I had previously bought a shirt. The clerk accused me of trying to steal my own shirt and called security. They examined it and argued with me for so long I was late to work. FML
Today, I was accused of shop-lifting by an old lady in a supermarket. Having proven myself innocent, I tried to storm off to show my displeasure at the situation. In my haste to make a dramatic exit, I tried to go out of the entrance and walked straight into the automatic door. FML
Today, I was trying on some clothes in the store's changing room, when someone reached under the door and grabbed my purse, shoes, and pants. FML
Today, after getting home from shopping, I noticed a security tag was still on one of the shirts I bought. I decided to take it back and ask them to remove the tag. They then accused me of trying to steal (even after I showed them the receipt) and kicked me out of the store. FML
Today, I was shopping with my husband. At the self-checkout, one of the items I was buying for him as a gift didn’t register. As we were walking out, I get stopped and escorted to the loss prevention office, where I was accused of stealing. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some new shirts. I tried them on and none of them fit. When I walked out to return the shirts, everybody was staring at me. I looked down to see why. I'd forgotten to put my original shirt back on. FML
Today, I was accused of shoplifting, after the alarm started beeping as I walked into the store. FML
Today, I realized the dress I bought yesterday still had the security tag on. I returned to the store to get it removed, only to realize I'd lost my receipt. The lady at the counter thought I stole it, called security, and had me escorted out, dress-less. FML
Today, I was at the store when I saw that a cart in the checkout line next to me was starting to roll away and the owner hadn't noticed. I tried to help by reaching out to stop the cart from moving, but when the owner saw me with the cart, she began to hit me for trying to steal her purse. FML
Today, I was in the dressing room of my favorite store. While looking in the mirror at a shirt I really like, the fire alarm went off. In a panic, I ran out of the store like everyone else. The sensor went off on my shirt and I was banned from the store for attempted theft. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How close were you to the door with that shirt!

A real ninja could have stolen the shirt no problem. Of course real ninjas aren't insecure enough to feel the need to declare that they are ninjas via shirt. That old man was probably a ninja.

How do you drop a tshirt and it slide so far out the door that you cant just bend down and reach out to get it?

Was it made out if silk and special fabric? I don't understand how a shirt can slide all the way out the door. Especially when the person who bumped into you was senile. It wasn't Hulk or anything.

OP didn't say the man was senile, just elderly. Idk about you but I've seen some older people who are really in shape

Everyone's saying that this isn't possible when it is. I'm picturing a very small store (like the t-shirt store I go in all the time). Also, if she was holding the shirt, and someone caused it to fly out of her hands with enough force, it could slide. Especially if the floor was tile or hardwood or something. if the door was open it wouldn't have been that difficult. I do find those employees stupid, though for thinking you would tell them If you had been trying to steal.

I don't get how an elderly man bumping into you somehow overpowered you and caused the shirt to not only drop, but slide it's way out the door, hahaha too funny
