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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Forgetting something?
Today, I was trying on some new pants in the fitting room at a store. I was so overcome with joy when I noticed that I had dropped two pant sizes, that when I took them off and went outside to pay for them, I realized I forgot to put back on my original jeans. FML
Cool
Today, I bought a new shirt I thought looked cool. At work, three people complimented me, then each one added a variation of, “My dad has the same one!” By lunch, my confidence had left the building entirely. A coworker even asked if I’d gotten it from the “retro section.” 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
Shame! Shame! Shame!
Today, I was holding on to a shirt that I planned on buying, when an elderly man bumped into me. The shirt fell out of my hand, and slid just out the door. I went to the counter to explain what happened. Everyone accused me of trying to steal it anyway. FML
Oh, by the way…
Today, I accidentally left the tag on the new pants that I wore to work. Nobody had brought it to my attention for the whole day until finally, before I was about to go home, every single employee and my boss let me know by yelling in unison and laughing as I left the building. FML
Stuck on you
Today, I put on a new pair of jeans and went out. Halfway through my errands, I realized the long sticker with my size was still on the back. I walked around for quite a while advertising my embarrassing waist and leg measurements. FML
Wardrobe malfunction
Today, I realized after I had already left my house that my skirt was inside out and backwards. I’d been walking around like that for two hours before a stranger in a supermarket politely told me. The worst part? I still had to finish my grocery shopping. FML
Wardrobe malfunction
Today, I tried to take off my hoodie. Somehow my shirt came off with it, leaving me shirtless in public, as I sheepishly tried to put it back on. Not only were people staring, but there was a mother covering her son's eyes. FML
Whoops
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
Wardrobe malfunction
Today, I woke up early to make a good impression at my new job. As I was getting dressed, I noticed my shirt was missing a button. I frantically searched for another shirt, but couldn't find one that looked clean enough. I had to go to work in my buttonless shirt, and spent the entire day feeling embarrassed. FML

1 is under the impression that OP kept the shirt (s)he was trying on, on.

"You're stupid" :D Read your profile :P
Krirn 21
Thank you, but honestly, I need to be more specific about that, what I'm really looking for is the day someone says something like "You're comment..."
hwkfan1 10
Yes but why would they be small if everyone noticed?
Krirn 21
Wouldn't you notice if something that is supposed to be there, isn't there? Assuming OP is a Female.
hwkfan1 10
It's a lot harder to notice something that's not there than to notice something huge.

10- I thought I did. But then I reread the fml and the comment and no, I decided I have no idea what number 1 was trying to say. I thought maybe it had something to do with OPs boobs being small? But that doesn't make sense either now....

I think he was trying to say that the shirts that op tried on had to be very small which made it more noticeable when op came out with out a shirt on (implying that op was fat).
Radix 3
#1 was trying to say the shirt must have been extremely small when the person came out. (s)he was under the impression that OP never took off the shirt he/she was trying on
Krirn 21
If OP walked out to return the shirts, (s)he should have had the shirts in hand.

To everyone commenting on #1. It was a bad joke done on the Regis and Kelly show that they are attempting to regurgitate here...joke is still not funny.

Why would that be cool?

Oh, how lovely double standards are.
Dracoboxer357 36
3- I fail to see how forgetting a shirt as a male would make you cool, but speaking of double standards, this reminds ms of a sign at a bar I once saw (and many others likely have too): Guys- No shirt, no shoes, no service. Girls, No shirt, no problem, free drinks. :P Sorry, had to share. ;P

You know what, taking a lot of clothes into the changing room and changing in between them is hot work. Being frustrated when they didn't fit, OP could've put them all back on the hangers and then just gone out in a rush. Things happen when you're hot and bothered.
kimmi41509 10
If it was that small, wouldn't you have noticed how uncomfortable it was before you left the fitting room?
kimmi41509 10
Ah nevermind, I just connected the dots. OP went out shirtless. Well maybe people were staring in amazement at your body! If you're single, hope you picked up a few phone numbers :)

I actually hadn't realized that op went out shirtless untill I read the reply -.-

why does everyone assume the shirts were too small? maybe they were too big?

That's totally something I would do. I'm sorry!

I doubt there was a Magic Eye poster in the change room.

It's funny, I assumed the shirts must have been too large (I'm thin and always have the problem of shirts being too big). But you could interpret too large of shirts as fitting, just not fitting properly. Also I wish it was clear whether OP was male or female. I'm just going to imagine that OP is a hot female who is well endowed (which is why the shirts wouldn't fit) and she wasn't wearing a bra. That would be so damn hot.
kimmi41509 10
OP is a woman and left the dressing room shirtless.
the_true_batman 10
How do you know OP is a woman?
kimmi41509 10
We are all just assuming. O_o
the_true_batman 10
Then what was the point of your comment? To tell me something you didn't know? It was obvious that he or she left the room shirtless, I don't know why you told me that. I think it's sexist to assume OP is female. I'm a guy and I'm sure I'd be more embarrassed than most females to walk out of a dressing room shirtless and have people staring at me. Since I'm a man I'm not allowed to be embarrassed? Why couldn't a male have an FML about this?
kimmi41509 10
The way you worded your post you made it seem like OP left the fitting room with a tight shirt on and without a bra. I never said a male couldn't get embarrassed of this, but naturally a female doesn't walk around without a shirt like a lot of men do. It's obviously more common for a man to do that than a woman.
brewmasterg 34
Sexist? Just look at your response to this FML. Every woman reading it just went 'ugh' and rolled their eyes in unison. People are allowed to make assumptions just as males are allowed to be embarrassed by this situation, however given the circumstances, a female would more likely feel more shame in this circumstance and therefore be in a position to post this- thus the assumptions. They're not baseless.
kimmi41509 10
Thank you 37. As females we would understand more.

I don't see how the wording of my post made you think that. In fact, the part about tight shirts not fitting and loose shirts not fitting properly was meant to mean that tight shirts literally won't fit on the person, whereas loose shirts fit on the person, just it is not a proper fit. So a shirt too tight to fit on someone couldn't be worn, as it doesn't even fit on. And the part about hoping she was without a bra was because if she wasn't wearing a bra her breasts would be visible (which they would not if she was wearing a shirt). I really don't see how you got what you got from what I said at all. And most women walk around half naked every day, so walking out in a bra for a top isn't that different from their everyday wear.
kimmi41509 10
"Most women walk around half naked every day..." Not really. I've never seen anyone walking in a bra for a top. Don't know what kind of fantasy world you live in.
the_true_batman 10
"Every woman reading it just went 'ugh' and rolled their eyes in unison." That is sexist. You're saying all women are the same? I didn't need to make that a question. You are saying all women are the same.
the_true_batman 10
My main point is though, that "it's more likely OP is female than male" does not make "I wish it was clear whether OP was male or female." an invalid comment. Why complain about me saying that?
narrowords 18
21-- While some states legally allow for a woman to be topless, it is not commonly practiced. In fact, while some might enjoy this, others would be very offended and possibly even call the cops. All the above fanfare would not be relevant for a topless male (duh), which is why we assume the OP was a woman--because it'd be way more embarrassing for a woman, culturally (notwithstanding personal body confidence issues, which can be had by either sex).
brewmasterg 34
Please don't think I misunderstood your comment. I know what you meant about the nature of what a shirt 'fitting' entails- it's not entirely true to say your post was sexist, but it was from the lips of a mysoginist. I was making a generalization when I made my comment, and just as you don't have to justify the nature of your comment because everyone has the right to free speech, neither do I. You're a bit butthurt. Why don't you post some more responses?

Shut the **** up.

The_true_batman - You're making yourself look increasingly foolish with each subsequent response. Why don't you just accept defeat and go back to lurking in the shadows where you can be neither seen nor heard.

Wow ... U bats are kind of a jackass .... Wait wait wait I misspoke u are completely a jackass ;)
the_true_batman 10
I don't care what any of you say, I was and am right and you were and are wrong. None of you have made any real argument against anything I said. And I am anything but butt hurt. I am laughing at how predictable and simple-minded your responses were. It's nice to see sexism is still alive and shouted as loudly as ever. It's also nice to see that anyone who expresses a valid opinion that isn't what culture's sexist attitudes agree with gets targeted. I'm proud that I'm willing to state both my opinion and facts that I know people will disagree with due to their prejudices. The fact that you say my responses make me look more and more foolish is the equivalent of a child sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting "I can't hear you" over and over. I'm sorry if one comment about liking the idea of a large breasted woman topless makes me a "mysoginist" (sic). I'm assuming you claim I was objectifying women, because I can't see how you could claim I hate women. If you're not just trying to be argumentative and actually felt women were objectified by my statement, I'm sorry. It wasn't my intent to do so. At least my responses weren't sexist, like some of those arguing against me. Also I'd like to say that most women who identify as feminists aren't true feminists (as they don't really believe in gender equality), and most women who don't identify as feminists are true feminists (as they do believe in gender equality). This is from personal experience, but I think anyone with an open mind would see it's true.

While you may be right. Dude. Let it go already.

The_true_batman, when so many people tell you you are wrong, I think it's a good idea to question yourself. It doesn't mean you are definitely wrong, but still, it could be a good clue. It's ok to be wrong about something you said, it doesn't mean that everything you do or say is wrong, it's really not a biggi. It doesn't even means that what you're thinking is wrong, maybe you just didn't expressed it the right way. Most intelligent people are probably the ones that can accept when they are wrong, others just never learn from their mistakes. But yeah, maybe you are right and they are all wrong, that happens too.
