Today, I went shopping with my friend. The store was having a special where if you spend over $75 you receive a free T-shirt. I paid for my items and my total was over $75. The salesman didn't hand me a shirt so I asked him for one. He looks at me and says "I'm sorry, we only have Mediums." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my first day at my new job, which requires you to wear a special shirt. Come to find out, they only have medium sized shirts. I'm an XL. They demanded I wear the shirt anyway. FML
Today, I donated blood at a blood drive. As is the usual for blood drives, I was offered a shirt after donating. The worker handing out the shirts asked me for my size. I said that I was a medium. He looked me over, then asked, "Are you sure?" FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She went to try some clothes on and came out to ask for my opinion. "Hell no! That shirt is awful!" She wanted to show me the pants. The shirt was hers. 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 went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I was feeling good about the fact that I was going down a waist size until the cashier decided to discuss with me, three co-workers, and the ten other people in line how she didn't even know jeans came in sizes that big. FML
Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML
Today, while standing in line at the grocery store, I noticed that myself and the woman in front of me were wearing the same shirt. As she was about to leave, I said to her "Hey! I'm wearing that shirt!" She turned to me and replied, "Not in THIS size you aren't." FML
Today, my friends and I were shopping for dresses. I asked the lady at the counter for a size 4, she looked at me and mumbled, "Yeah, right…" in front of everyone. FML
Today, I was planning on meeting my friend at the mall. She came late, and I was in the dressing room trying on a few things. When I came out to meet her, she looked at me oddly and said, "You shouldn't buy that, it looks terrible on you." Those were the clothes I came in. FML
Today, while working retail, I spent 10 minutes helping a customer pick out the perfect outfit. At checkout, trying to be friendly, I said, “This will look great on you, it’s very forgiving.” He paused then said, “Forgiving of what?” I had no recovery. Just silence, a receipt, and a mortifying interaction. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe on the far far off chance he thought OP was too skinny? I'm probably being too hopeful because this is FML, but still

#2 i think the FML means people think hes so fat he couldn't fit into a medium, which isn't much of an FML but better than some I've read.

106, no, it's a she, idiot, learn the difference between the signs, and they even color coated them for you, pink for women, blue for men.

On the app the gender symbols are grey. But people should still know the signs

I doubt they had the app back in '09-'11. smartphones were barely a thing other than the iPhone.

I think that the FML here is that the salesperson didn't even ask his size...he looked him up and down then assumed that the shirts that they did have wouldn't fit him.

well medium is very small anyway. I'm male, 176cm, 65kg and i don't fit in a medium shirt.

So you paid $75 just to get a free t-shirt, which you didn't even get? Good one!

I would have asked if you could come back with the reciept when you do have large's in stock to get your free shirt. And no FML here most mediums are very small like #7 said. Heck, I usually even go for the xl or xxl with some manufacturers as anything less is usually too short for me.

That's a bit unfair. I mean you should still get the T-shirt, regardless if -you'll- fit it or not, since that's what they advertised. For all the shopkeeper knows you could've been wanting to give it to your friend/younger brother or something =/.
