Today, I was in a shoe store. I picked up a shoe so I could look at it, but when I put it back on the shelf, the whole shelf fell down, making all the shoes fall to the ground. The people behind the counter started clapping. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while trying on clothes in Macy's, someone decided to throw some shoes over the wall and into my changing stall. I now have a black eye. FML
Today, I was super proud of myself for organizing my entire wardrobe. As I went to admire my work, I pulled out a sweater and knocked over the entire shelf of shoes. Now everything's on the floor and I can’t find my favourite pair of socks. FML
Today, at work, I went to place a small item on a shelf. The shelf fell on me, trapping my hand. While lifting it, the top shelf fell against my chest and the products all dumped on my face. I then realized the shelves were only held up by zip ties. FML
Today, I was at a grocery store when I slipped on a puddle of water. I tried to catch my balance, grabbed a shelf, and instead took down an entire display of chocolate boxes. People rushed over to help, albeit while smirking, and a kid yelled, “Do it again!” FML
Today, at my job as a librarian at an old library, I was shelving books. Things were great until one entire bookshelf fell over. The damage wasn't too bad. Then the rest fell down. FML
Today, as I was stood on an escalator, my shoelace got caught in the step. Panicking, I tried to pull it out, but my shoe came off. I had to awkwardly hop back down the escalator to retrieve it while everyone around me in the mall watched. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store in my brand new high heels. I tried to be graceful as I walked down the aisle but ended up slipping on some spilled juice and doing a weird half-dance, half-flailing thing. The shoppers around me turned to watch as I clumsily tried to regain my balance. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I also knocked over a display of discounted snacks. 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 at the mall with my mom. She was pissing me off, so I started screaming at her and causing a scene. I ended up falling all the way down the up escalator. Everyone saw and people clapped. FML
Today, I was shopping when I suddenly slipped on the wet floor and my basket and my groceries were flung everywhere. Moments later, one of the cleaners walked over holding a "wet floor" sign, saw me and laughed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're dumb..... The people at the store were clapping because they were pissed off at the fact they'll have to pick it up : Good Job! Thanks a lot! Now we have 30 mins to spend on this, YAY (sarcasm used) This said, I feel bad for the OP. YES, she won't have to pick them up, but she probably did, cause they were all looking at her and leaving would of been rude. On second thought though, the fact that they clapped rudely towards OP should give her the right to leave it this way, and say : You're rude to a customer? I'll be rude to you. Stop saying OP's whining for nothing, it's really embarassing when some douche points out rudely that you did something MINOR unpurposely (like dropping several shoes on the floor). OP didn't deserve to get yelled at, she made something fall, big deal. It ain't broken. The bastards clapping are probably lil asses getting paid 5$ an hour and not being happy doing their job, serving customers. FYL, OP.

I would have been glad for a little applause. Its better than being yelled at, or them just standing there. YDI

Whilst somewhat embarrassing, it's not overly bad.

Everyone who says to remember who'll have to pick up is right!!! So dont worry friend you'll have your laugh last as you have some new shoes and those idiots are tediously pickin up shoes that they most likely cant even afford!!
