Today, I dressed up as my friend for Halloween. He has a very distinct style and I thought my costume was pretty clever. When he saw me, he said he had never been so offended in his entire life, and now I feel like a complete asshole. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to my friend's costume party dressed as Michael Myers. My costume must've been too conspicuous because it drew violent attention. I'm still sore from the pushing, tackling, tripping, falling and body shots. FML
Today, as a joke, my friends and I decided to put me in a dress and makeup, to creep out a friend. I'm a guy. I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that I so willingly volunteered to wear the dress and the makeup, or the fact that I thought it was comfy and made me look slim. FML
Today, I realized why the lady I had complimented the night before on Halloween about her amazing one-armed costume, looked so hurt. She is literally missing an arm. I'm an asshole. FML
Today, I was walking to my friend's Halloween themed birthday party in my zombie costume. Apparently, my crazy coke addicted neighbor found the costume too realistic. He tackled me. FML
Today, I showed my fiancé the darling Tinkerbell hoodie I'd bought myself during the weekend. Instead of liking it as I'd hoped, he told me my childish wardrobe was embarrassing, and he wasn't going to be seen in public with me until I wore something different. FML
Today, I finished making an awesome costume for a Halloween party my crush was attending. I then checked the invite and found out the party was last night. FML
Today, my girlfriend informed me that during the night, I shot up in bed and whimpered tearfully, "I don't have anything for the fancy-dress!" She also decided to share this with all our friends. I'm never going to live this down. FML
Today, I'm at odds with my fiancée because a drunk girl approached me at a Halloween party and complimented my costume. I barely acknowledged the woman and made polite small talk until she walked away. Apparently, I was too friendly and should have shooed the woman away rudely and immediately. FML
Today, I dressed cute to surprise my boyfriend of 2 years. Instead of being happy or impressed about it, he accused me of cheating and dressing up to impress a new guy he'd made up in his head. FML
Today, my company had a Halloween party. I was so excited seeing as our company never does anything, so I pulled out all the stops with my costume. I was the only one who got dressed up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sorry to hear that OP! Let him know you didn't mean any harm? I'm sure he'll understand that you were just admiring him for his unique style ^^

Apologize and explanation to him that it was done as flattery and not disrespect. Hopefully you'll be forgiven.

How is it his loss in any way?!? Plus of someone got my style wrong, I'd feel kind of offended, but if my friend would explain I'd understand. OP so just try to talk to your friend!

You're not as much of an accidental asshole as the guy who complimented a girl on her one armed costume when she actually only had one arm...

Offended? I would actually feel honored. You should just explain to him that you meant no harm. I'm sure if you break it down for him that you find his style to be unique he might actually start to feel better about you being him for Halloween.

I am not an idiot.....I can clearly see my mistake. Or should I say my phones mistake because this isn't the first time auto correct has ****** me up and I'm sure it won't be the last time either.

So he is offended by his own style of fashion, I don't think that's your fault. FYL

some people are sensitive and might have thought that the thing OP did was to mock them.

I don't think he's offended by his own style. Halloween costumes tend to be a caricature or exaggeration of the person being imitated, which, in some cases, could be understandably offensive to someone who is more sensitive. Not saying OP was wrong in their intentions, but that doesn't necessarily make the friend wrong in their emotions.

People are too sensitive any more. They just look for something to get offended about.

Agreed, #5 and #41. Apparently part of his distinct style is being easily offended

did you talk to him before you did it? depending on how long you've been friends i think you should have known if he would be easily offended

"Never been so offended in his entire life" seems to me a little exagerate from him..

It's probably best you give up this game now, Nina825. Every attempt to justify your comments will be downvoted to oblivion.
