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.

I think somebody needs a sense of humor. Seriously, tell him to pull his head out of his butt.

Maybe OP should've suggested they dress up as each other, that way it's mutual an nobody gets offended.

If your friend was a girl, I'd understand because if you wore a slutty top or a very short skirt, etc. and you said "I'm dressed up as you", I'd be pretty pissed too...Dunno how the guy got offended unless you pretended to be a mentally handicapped version of him or something...

There really isn't anything wrong with short skirts. And anyone of any gender could feel upset at this because they could feel like their friend is mocking them when they imitate them -- i.e., making fun of their unique traits instead of just incorporating them into a cool costume.

Imitation is a form of flattery.

It's not your fault. If he's offended by his own style, he's probably just sensitive.

Really depends what makes their style "unique" to you. Easy to be seen as taking be piss or mocking it. Some traits are so built in they happen without thinking.
