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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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, I spent about half an hour trying to decide whether to buy a top, because even though it was lovely, it was really expensive. Eventually, after deciding to buy it because I could always return it if I changed my mind, I got home and realised I'd left it on the bus. 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 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, after I'd ordered a cute dress online for an upcoming date, I tried it on, only to realise it was more of a glorified napkin than a dress. The tag online had said “One size fits all.” I now have a dress that fits my cat better than it fits me. FML
Today, I spent £65 on a pair of jeans after scouring Depop & eBay for hours, only for literally my dream jeans to then pop up in "More recommended" after purchasing, and for a cheaper price and faster shipping, after six hours of searching and spending the last of my paycheck on non-refundable jeans. 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 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 buy my prom dress. I felt really good as I walked out of the dressing room, until someone walked out of the room next to me wearing the same dress, and looked better in it than I did. It was a man buying it for his drag show. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Kill yourself?

She already paid full price ten minutes before it went on sale for half price. How is that NOT an issue?
william8691 10
Uhhh maybe its because she spent more when she could of spent less.. Yeah I don't see why that's an issue either.

#1, I advise (for the greater good of mankind) that you remove yourself from gene pool of **** sapien sapiens.

Do people even bother reading the FML? Here's one who doesn't understand why its an Fml and there's another one who failed to comprehend that she was online shopping, oh dear lord

It's not gunna ship within 10 minutes. OP can cancel the order and repurchase it
Forlorn420 9
I was thinking the same thing. Can you not return it for the price you bought it for then buy it again at half price?
day624 14
#1 your kidding right? Do you not understand anything at all? #36 if she returns it they will give her back whatever its worth.. So it would be pointless
drawfromthewell 6
#42- YOU'RE kidding, right? Please explain the logic wherein you've decided she wouldn't receive a full refund if she decided to cancel the order.

It is not an issue! She can return the dress and buy it back for the reduced price!

52- the issue here is not the dress. The issue here is the STUPIDITY of some people.

#16- why are you people so ******* hateful? You disliked his comment, but when someone else said the same exact thing you like it? Damn.

#9 - it's "could HAVE"...."she could have spent less"

#25 she means she can make it herself for the cost of the fabric. It's really not that difficult to understand.

Or if that doesn't work consider returning and re-buying

You can also talk to the store manager. Most places have a 14 day price guarantee. Some places the time frame is shorter, but regardless, if it's in the span of 10 minutes, I don't see how they can't fix it. If the store manager doesn't do it for you, call the head office. As someone who works retail, I know that you can somehow get that money back.

26- she bought it online, there isn't a store manager. She can contact the company though
rainbowglass 5
She can go to the nearest store, which sounds like it was where she bought her shoes. Managers can still help with online orders or refer to the customer service department of the head office.

75 - she didn't buy shoes you *******.
TheOtherNewest1 6
Yeah, right? I was gonna say. Unless you went back days later, you could just cancel and reorder. Durr-hurr.
xStaciexLynnx 15
Maybe you can call and get the extra money back? Most places have some kind of policy about that.
rainbowglass 5
Darn. I just restated what you said :(

makes u wish you'd have been caught by a train huh?
happle 21
Caught by a train? Do you mean hit by a train or...?
Pentium_4 27
i think he meant caught by a train as in having to wait for a train to cross on her way to the store in hopes of delaying another 10 minutes. but that doesn't really apply when you're online shopping.
Il_Maestro 6
My computer was hit by a train the other day. Delayed me in purchasing my Snuggie. Damn trains...

You could just sell it when you get it or better yet just cancel the order

She had been waiting ... "for ages," she wrote.

Lots of cat pictures on this one...

Oh wow, can't you predict the future? Come on, OP! I thought that was a common skill! Okay okay, take the easy way out and do the cancel -> re-order-thing. I still think it'd be WAY cooler if you learned to predict the future!

One does not simply 'learn to predict the future'...
