Today, I wore a beautiful new dress that I got for £5 only in a sale. I've been turning heads in it all day. When I got home, my mum pulled the massive red £5 tag off of the back. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally bought the expensive but beautifully stylish dress I've been eyeing for ages online. Ten minutes later, I went back to check the shoes the model was wearing so I could coordinate my outfit. The dress had been reduced to half price. FML
Today, I bought a new, expensive dress for a date. I left the tag on and hidden in hopes of returning it later. Someone saw it and ripped it off for me to "save me from embarrassment." FML
Today, I went to a thrift store and found heaps of clothes that I loved that fit me perfectly. Then I found a special distinctive dress. My dress. My dad had thrown away heaps of my clothes and I had to buy them all back. FML
Today, I walked into work feeling confident in my new outfit. It wasn’t until lunchtime that a colleague pointed out the price tag hanging from my skirt. I’d been flaunting my ass's price all morning. FML
Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML
Today, after saving up for a beautiful new dress to wear to my partner's 30th birthday party, it finally arrived in the post. I tried the dress on and the stitching instantly ripped, leaving two big holes in it. Turns out I'm no longer a size 8. FML
Today, I finally gave my mum an expensive designer dress I spent months saving to buy for her as she had been very depressed. However she has gained so much weight from stress eating she ripped it when trying to put it on, and now won't talk to me because, "I wanted to make her feel fat". FML
Today, I posted a pic of my prom dress on facebook. The dress looked amazing on me and it just felt so right. So I spent every single dollar I had and some borrowed to buy the dress. When I logged on later that night, the first comment asked "Is this a joke?" FML
Today, I confidently walked into a meeting thinking I looked sharp in my new shirt. Halfway through, someone pointed out that the tag was still hanging out the back, flapping like a flag. It wasn’t even a size tag, it literally said "₦5,500" in bold. FML
Today, I bought an expensive dress because it was me and my boyfriend's one year anniversary, and he was taking me somewhere nice. When he saw me in the dress, he looked at me, laughed and said, "Seriously, what are you wearing?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Say it isn't so!!!!!! I can't believe you would stoop so low to save money AND look great at the same time! And the worst part!!!!! People now know it doesn't cost a lot to look great! You're right. Your life couldn't possibly get any worse.

i don't think a lot of people are getting why this is an FML. she's not being vain in having people know how much her dress costs. it's an FML because the tag indicates that she's selling herself for that much. as in, it seems liek she's a "cheap prostitute"

Americans.... *rolls eyes*

No idea how anything American comes into play here. Congratulations, you're a judgmental prick against Americans for absolutely no reason. And I'm assuming you mean U.S. Americans, so state it that way. When you say "Americans" that refers to both the North and South American continents. If you're going to be an uptight douche, at least do it right. And no, I'm not any kind of American. I just really hate the ******* over here who hate on the U.S. and give them the view that everyone from the UK is a pretentious, uptight, tea-sipping elitist with a stick up their ass.

@#7: You do realize the OP is from the UK right? As in..she's not American. O.O
LeedsFML 0
Yes... just whenever someone from the UK posts anything... along come the bitchy, uncalled for comments. Just re-read the comments... are they really called for??
Witchcraft_fml 5
I see nothing targeting the UK... They're posting things they would post even if the OP were from the States - or anywhere, really. And who says all the comments are from the States anyway? This site is international. Oh, and I get to my inbox and open my mail and what do I see? A message from LeedsFML saying "and you're an idiot..." just for calling him out.

Yea kind of like the comment you originally posted douche haha go eat a sock, or a piece of uncooked broken spaghetti and than when it gets to your stomach throw it up than eat it again, and continue til you can no longer do that so like 30 times??
iTzSaLaD 0
yeah, they kind of are. and you have to realize that people comment like that on EVERY fml, not just on UK fmls...so you are hastily generalizing an entire nation. -witchcraft, i feel ya=) i know/am aquainted with a few people from the UK and they aren't douchers like leeds, no worries
Witchcraft_fml 5
Thanks, iTzSaLaD, I'm glad you see people from the isles that are completely opposite of this douche. LeedsFML, really? A message? If you have something to say to me, don't be a little bitch with no balls and send me a message calling me an idiot just because I tore you apart in the comment. I don't want your bullshit filling up my inbox.

How are they NOT called for? This is a stupid FML, regardless of whether it has come from the UK or not.. If you check the comments of almost any other FML, I guarantee that there will be comments like these. Stop being such a judgmental prick. .. and this isn't coming from an American, btw.

LOL she went away because she knows she can't win this.

She had nothing to base her argument on except pure assumption. I can't stand when people do that. I must say though, that was a nice release.

This whole argument was amazing. Lol

tbf leedsfml is right. Look at most of the posts coming from the UK & most of them have comments not relating to the post but just taking cheap, pointless and unfunny jibes at Britain.

#19: Take your UK-glasses off. As a matter of fact, there are just some f... up people who think their lives suck the most and make fun of everyone here; there are the other kind of people who call every FML a fake; and finally - apart from rather "normal" people - there are those who click "you totally deserve it" for every FML, even the most horrible ones I wouldn't wish for my (hypothetical) arch enemy. Let's face it: Maybe 60-80% of the users here are poor, pathetic a*shol*s that think f***ing up other people's lifes will make their miserable life better...

#41 - I agree a lot of FMLs from the UK have a bunch of "YDI for being British" comments under them. But those are irrelevant to this one - take a look at this one. See any of those? No, I didn't think so. LeedsFML was just being prejudice and stupid, and overreacting at comments that would have been made anywhere regardless of in what country the OP lived.

Thats what i was thinking. How is this an FML? Big deal, the dress still rocks and it was cheap.
603050294 0
The FML part is that OP was out in public with a "massive red £5 tag" hanging off of her. Assuming she wasn't a streetwalker (and a cheap one at that), She was probably mortified at what people were thinking they could get for £5.
Labamba 0
She is from the uk.... Not the US
j_rock1981 0
She was rolling her eyes at Americans because of the comments, not the OP. Douchebag Americans. Vive la Canada!!! Lol just kidding I don't hate Americans, just individuals.

you deserve it for forgetting to take the tag off. and for thinking this actually makes your life ******. big deal.
