Today, my only pair of shoes that I brought got stolen at the airport while I was being checked by security. I'm now stuck 1000 miles from home with no shoes. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I arrived at the airport only to find my suitcase was lost and my 3 weeks worth of clothes and supplies gone. All I had left was my wallet and carry ons. Upon leaving the airport I was mugged. FML
Today, I fell asleep with my luggage at a bus terminal. Upon waking up, I found that someone had opened my bags and stolen all my socks. FML
Today, I was going through airport security. Trying to get things over and done with quickly, I dropped my pants without a second thought. Turns out they just wanted me to remove my shoes and belt. FML
Today, my bag got stolen with all of my belongings at the beach. After being forced to ask strangers for money, I then travelled home on the train for an hour, wearing only a bikini. FML
Today, I was woken up and kicked out of my friend's party at 3:00 in the morning. This wouldn't have been so bad if someone hadn't stolen my shoes. I had to walk for an hour in the rain, in my socks. FML
Today, my jeans got caught in the airport escalators. Seeing as how we couldn't get them unstuck, my mother made me take them off. FML
Today, my purse was stolen. Too bad it had all of my money and my passport. My flight is tomorrow, and the embassy is closed until Monday. Guess who gets to stay in a foreign country with no money and no identification for the next three days. FML
Today, whilst on the toilet at the mall, I took my new designer sandals off as my feet were blistered. Not even a second later, a hand reached out from under the stall, grabbed my sandals and disappeared. I had to walk home a mile barefoot. In the burning heat. FML
Today, I was having a good time drinking with a few friends. Next thing I know, I'm walking down an unknown street, with just one shoe, no wallet and no phone. FML
Today, I was heading out for my flight to Australia. I'd put a padlock on my luggage to keep my wallet and passport safe, only to realize way too late that I'd left the key at home. I couldn't get at my passport and ended up missing my flight and my whole vacation along with it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Thats really bad. Just wear the socks provided at the airplane. Once you arrive, spend a few hundred bucks at the duty free. Better shoes and no money than no shoes and being labeled as a hobo

Who spends a few hundred bucks to replace one pair of shoes?

Exactly. For less than $15 you can get a pair of decent shoes. Just bevause they aren't Nike/Adidas or branded doesn't make them less of a shoe... #shoerights #shoeequality #rightsforshoes

For less than $15 you cannot buy shoes that aren't made by exploited children/women in some third world country. It's even difficult to find shoes for 100$ that aren't made by the same poor individuals. People should pay more attention to that!

31 - Even high-end shoes are made with exploited labor in Asia... The price tag is more for the brand name than actual quality.

Unfortunately, I'm finding it quite hard to find nice, comfortable and cheap shoes. Apparently, you can only pick one.

32. actually that's not always true. A lot of higher end brands are actually made in Italy. All of my designer/expensive sunglasses are. except for my maui Jims which are made in Japan. I have two burberry scarves. one made in scotland, the other in Italy. My Ferragamo shoes I wore today also say made in Italy. Idk. a lot of stuff I own is made in first world countries. If you Google "nordstrom usa" they have an entire section dedicated to american made products. I shop from that a lot.

Did you have socks? It makes a difference

Yes.. From what I've heard, his left toe was held for a random security check after peeking through his sock.

You were lucky they didn't steal your belt, holding pants with a hand and luggage with the other.

Perhaps the thief was looking to criticize you, but decided to do the right thing and walk a mile in your shoes first.

****** airport security man.

They should replace your shoes. And imagine the balls of someone taking your shoes right there. It might have been security that took them

The TSA probably stole them since they're so keen at stealing people's money, laptops, iPads, anything they think they can get their grubby little mitts on, all while failing 97% of the time when tested to find fake bombs on people.
