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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have done a little dance or something, put your shirt on, then charged everyone for the show!

OP's situation would probably be worse, unless you're wearing granny panties and/or you have skid marks on your underwear. :D

It depends on if OPs a guy or a girl haha. If it's a girl that'd be worse, but if its a guy it'd be worse to have your dress stuck in your underwear lol

I will never understand how people forget clothing items. You didn't notice that it probably felt a little cooler? Most of all, I hope you aren't a girl.

Apparently we're only allowed to assume OP is a girl. I know, it doesn't seem like a sure thing to me either, but it's what some council decided I guess.

^ The gender's irrelevant: Some men may have very personal issues about being seen without a shirt (I know, I used to be one of them), and some women may be like "Whoopie doo, they're just my breasts" and go back and put their shirt on like nothing happened. I think the main issue is just how comfortable you are in your own skin. After all, no one can make you embarrassed about yourself or situation, without your permission. It's something you have to let yourself choose to feel, IMHO. ;p

For the sake of the men in the store at that time I hope it was a very very hot female ;)

You could try bodypainting clothes on under your clothes. Problem solved.

Damn, over 50 comments so far and no one has bothered to correct "I had forgot"? I'm very disappointed in the Grammar Nazi population. I had forgotten*

I'm always scared this will happen to me. It's okay OP, you'll never see any of those people again!

59- You're always scared you will very specifically forget to put your shirt back on when you leave a changing room? Is this a reoccurring nightmare for you, by chance? ;) May I assume you're more generally afraid of that level of public embarrassment? It would be more interesting if it was the former however. (And by that, I mean the reasoning, not the show, sorry!) ;p

89- Sorry, allow me to clarify: Being afraid of public humiliation isn't unusual. Being Only afraid of walking topless out of a change room, and only afraid of that, is interesting. I'd be more interested in the Why if she had this specific terror.

LMFAO I'm not laughing my ******* ass off, but referring to the band that inspired the OP to go topless because he's sexy and he knows it. Girl, look at that body. He eats a lot.
