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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a male employee at a shoe shop helped me try on shoes. Once I found a pair, I went to pay for them. I was telling the cashier about how great of an employee he was when she told me there were no male employees. A guy with a foot fetish helped me find shoes. FML
Today, I went to a mall and got some really awesome shoes. I went home to find out that they are actually women's shoes. I'm a dude. FML
Today, while shopping for a pair of shoes, I saw a pair I really liked lying around, so I sat down to try them on. Then, a man came up to me and pointed out that they were actually his shoes. 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 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
Today, while shopping for a birthday present for my size 0 friend, I picked out a pair of pants for her. When paying, the cashier looked me up and down and said, "Well, you're pretty optimistic aren't you?" 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 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 at the mall with my friend. A lady came up to us and told my friend that she could be a model. Then the lady looked at me and said, "Oh... Nice shoes." FML
Today, at work, an obese woman insisted she took a size 5 shoe, despite me measuring her at a size 11. Then when the 5 I politely fetched for her didn’t come close to fitting, she told the manager I was fatshaming her. Her feet were ham joints below cankles as thick as my thigh. She stank too. FML

9.5 isn't even a huge size, I know of women with size 11 feet. Honestly, no one notices your feet, don't worry about it!

My feet are a size 9 and it's a pretty common size here. Maybe Italian women have big feet?

Is this UK sizes? Cause I know a girl, average height, 16 years old, who wears 11,5 c:

12, a US 9.5 is only a size 7 in the UK. Most of our shops go up to at least an 8 or a 9, it's really no big deal here.

Sorry, I don't know how to see this on a phone. (:

The girl I know wears US size 14, see that's just ******! My point is that OP should be thankful that isn't her!(:

#36, while shopping for shoes may be difficult for her, I don't see her size as "******." It's actually quite rude that you do.

9.5 aint bad. I believe that you feet does not make you who you are... They just imply that you stand firmly on the ground and that you could have kicked that sales dude in the stomach and nuts in one kick. Too hell with his stupidity.

At least he didnt have a foot fetish that would've been awkward

Why is that funny? I wear 9.5 and 10 and 5'8". If it were a 12 then gosh! I feel bad for those with 11 and 12. Hard to find cute shoes.

I'm 11 and I wear 10.5s so... You shouldn't worry

The things I'd do for size 9.5 feet! :P I'm fairly tall myself but was cursed with size 11-12 (depending on the style of shoe) I'm definitely the freak of nature, OP. Don't take what he said personally. He clearly isn't very good at being funny or professional even. If you feel he was being out of line, speak up and let someone in corporate know what happened. There's usually a 'contact us' or feedback section found on company websites.

I would say shove your foot up his ass but I don't think it would fit. Sorry OP
nnnope 26

I'm sure she could make it fit up yours as well.

Make a complaint for injury to feelings :) You shouldn't be worried about your feet, they're just feet, don't let one inconsiderate persons opinion get to you!:)
