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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What a dick. Shove one of your shoes straight up his ass...

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!

I'm a size eight and I'm not that tall. Don't worry about it. Wee feet look weird. X

The main thing is that they're proportional to your height.. Plus any guy who genuinely cares about you wouldn't mind them at all... One of my exs had that and they were fun to rub and tickle.

I never thought that was considered a huge size for women... I am size 7-8 uk which is the same size as OP's feet, other than the fact they're the first sizes to go in the shops, I've never found it an issue. Would hate to be a bigger size, not that many shops stock higher sizes that that!

I had a similar experience at Victoria's secret. The saleswoman asked me what size I was looking for and I said 34d, which I am. She laughed right in my face and said I was no larger than a B. I'm tall like you OP so they don't exactly look enormous on my frame. The woman wouldn't even measure me to see if I was right. Anyway, if I were you I'd write the corporate (you can usually find the address online) and make them aware of this.

Being tall doesn't usually make your chest look smaller...

I agree with #71. I'm 6' and have a larger bust than you. Let me just say that that woman was in the wrong and you should just be sure to try on bras until you find one that fits, regardless of their "advice." As for me, personally, Victoria Secret had never worked out for me. They always seemed to measure differently than other stores and I was never happy with the results. Good luck on your future boob-fitting endeavors!

Well since we are on the subject I am also a 6'0 tall girl and being tall definitely does make my breasts look smaller. In fact they look like they belong on a smaller person in general. I am measured at a B cup but I might as well be flat. FML.

Yeah, I don't know what his problem is. My feet are a woman's 11 and people have commented on my big feet once or twice, but no one was ever shocked nor did they especially care.

I'm only 5'7 and have 9-9.5. I don't care. I think it's a bit fun that my boyfriend, who is 6'2 ha almost the same size and that one of my guy friends can actually wear my shoes. Don't be embarrassed because of it - that guy was behaving like an asshole. You're just well stabilized when you're standing! :)

He's stupid. I hope you stood up for yourself or at least left.

He probably has tiny feet and was jealous since you know what they say about big feet on guys... But seriously, I think 9.5 is average for anyone who's tall. Even if you're not tall, that's still not a big deal. Maybe it was his first day and so he's living in dreamland and thinks all women have dainty, little fairy feet.
