Today, I was trying on some shoes when I felt the heels break underneath me. Not only did they cost two paychecks worth, but as I was leaving I heard the sales girl say that "we really should have a weight limit for who can try on our products." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was working at a shoe store and was helping a dude try on shoes. He looked like trouble and I wanted to finish with him. When he finally picked his shoes, he abruptly stood up and ran out of the store with the shoes on. The cost of them was deducted from my salary. $240. FML
Today, I was serving an incredibly rude woman at work. The ladder I had used to get her two pairs of shoes came crashing down, and hit my face and neck. She only bought one pair, and ten minutes later returned them after, complaining they were too expensive. FML
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
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, a middle-aged woman came into the shoe shop where I work, and asked me to help her put on a pair of boots that were obviously too small. Simultaneously as I knelt down by her feet, she booted me in the face while we tried to get them on. FML
Today, I wore a new pair of heels to an interview. Halfway through, as they were showing me around the production floor, one of my heels snapped. I was forced to finish the interview wobbling on one heel like a drunk flamingo. I wasn’t offered the job, but they did say, “You have great balance.” FML
Today, I bought some shoes, but pissed off the lady working at the store by returning them 5 minutes later. She yelled at me and ripped my receipt in half, everyone in the store watched as she threw a handful of pennies at my face. FML
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 went to get new shoes. I'm a pretty tall girl and I have proportional feet. I asked the cute guy who worked there for a size 9.5. He burst into laughter before putting on a shocked face and saying, "Oh wait... You're serious." Goodbye, self esteem. FML
Today, I stepped on the scale this morning and it actually shattered beneath my feet. FML

geeze, leave her alone. people can break heels easily without being big. my best friend is 60kg, and really tall, and she broke a pair of heels when we were out the other night. honestly, they can be easy to break, she might not have been a big person. even if she is, some of you arseholes need to shut the **** up, cos theres no way in hell you're perfect, let alone the op. and whats so bad bout trying on something you might not buy? i try on shoes and clothes that are expensive that i dont have an intention of buying, but just want to see what it looks like, and then maybe save up and buy it. plus, two paychecks worth? ever thing maybe she has a part time job whilst at school or uni??! i say complain to the manager, cos that was rude what the girl said. and dw about what some of the idiots on here are saying! :)

Why does the thyroid gland always get mentioned in fat threads? Most people aren't fat because their thyroid doesn't work. They're fat because of unhealthy diet and lifestyle. I'm sorry if you genuinely have a thyroid problem, #92, but just because you have it, it doesn't mean every other fat person does. Mentioning it every time there's a fat thread only helps the fat OP keep blaming their weight issues on something or someone other than themselves.

It's not your fault the shoes weren't made properly. You didn't have to buy it, the store could just write it off when they do their taxes. That's what McDonald's does with all the food wasted.

Actually, there's a lot of people with a fat fetish so to say nobody wants to check out a fat chick is pretty stupid. A tall athletic girl can weigh almost 200 pounds and be considered a healthy weight, so if she was a gym member it's entirely possible she's just tall and muscular, and given that, heels should be able to hold a lot more than 200 pounds when just being tried on without breaking, given how much wear a healthy girl weighing 200 pounds would put on them if she was walking in them all the time so it would be pretty fair to say the shoes were at fault. Also, shut up.

Sorry, but I'm a pretty big girl and if I can try on heels without them snapping, then most any woman who can fit their feet into them can. If you snap heels just by trying them on, the shoes are bad. And yes, expensive items can be poorly made, too.

I'm gonna call fake here. even with a minimum wage job I seriously doubt anyone in their right mind would be looking at/trying on shoes that cost 2 full paychecks. in fact I have never seen shoes that cost more then 100 usd

Wow, seriously? You don't get out much do you? http://shop.nordstrom.com/C/2376778/0~2376778 Open your eyes, my friend. Shoes can be expensive. And those are actually very reasonable prices compared to some...like these: http://tinyurl.com/lfncth

A friend of mine was in a similar situation: trying on heels for prom, and they snapped. Sales girl ALSO made a comment about 'fat' people trying on heels. The catch in this situation? My friend is covered in PURE muscle, (she plays tennis) and I envy to the core how much she looks like a modern day Amazon. She also happens to have breasts AND hips. Sales girl was a twiggy. The shoes were massively shitty quality (who the hell makes stilettos that have no steel support in the heel, seriously), and I think Sales Girl of Bitchiness was just a ****. (oh, and muh friend is still convinced she IS fat, btw). Moral of the story, whether or not the girl was overweight, (oh yeah, and MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT, PEOPLE) she didn't deserve some pile of **** muscle judging her.
