Today, I went into Target's dressing rooms to try some pants on, leaving my full cart outside. An employee thought it had been left there, and took it to put the stuff back. My coat, hat, gloves were in it. I had to walk home. FML

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 clothes in the store's changing room, when someone reached under the door and grabbed my purse, shoes, and pants. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store, but once I'd filled my cart, I realized that I'd forgotten my wallet, and because I'm not the sort of animal who just dumps stuff in random aisles, I had to awkwardly put all my items back on their shelves. FML
Today, I realized the dress I bought yesterday still had the security tag on. I returned to the store to get it removed, only to realize I'd lost my receipt. The lady at the counter thought I stole it, called security, and had me escorted out, dress-less. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping when I left my cart to grab an item. I returned, and started pushing the cart again. Halfway through the store, a furious lady confronted me, demanding her cart back. I had to walk back in shame to find my own actual cart, which was now nowhere to be found. FML
Today, while trying on an outfit in the dressing room at the mall, I got locked in. I decided to take 5 minutes to try and get out by crawling under the door. After I got out, I realized I left my cell phone, my purse and my pants inside. FML
Today, I walked two miles to the store, filled my cart with groceries, and got to the cashier… only to find I had forgotten my wallet. I tried to explain but got the nastiest stank-eye from the cashier, the manager, and everyone in line behind me. I walked two miles home, hungry and embarrassed. FML
Today, I went to the supermarket to buy my weekly groceries and only realized after a long queue at the checkout, then having the cashier scan my entire cart, that I'd forgotten my purse. I had to leave everything behind and walk out empty-handed, while everyone in line behind me gave me dirty looks. FML
Today, I went to the store, but after I'd selected my items, I saw that I'd forgotten my wallet. When I tried to explain to the cashier, he thought that I was trying to steal and called the cops. My roommate had to come to the store to save me. 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 stopped at a supermarket after work and put my reusable bags on the counter while I paid. When I got home, I realized I'd left the bags at the checkout. I went back, and they were still there. Nobody had touched them. I felt strangely lucky and embarrassed at the same time. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

how do you just run into a Target dressing room? at the ones here, theres people that have to assign you a room. and im pretty sure they would know if you were gonna buy what was in the cart if you didnt tell them and furthermore, why not just tell somebody about it? i mean seriously. SERIOUSLY.

I've had my Target shopping chart taken away from me while I was in the changing room before. I just know not to leave my personal things in it. Sucks having to re-shop for the same things.

along with the right to your own stuff :s

All the manager is going to do is tell the OP to leave their name and number and "if" and I do mean "if" the items show up they will get a call. Welcome to the world of "We are not responsible for your neglect". Any one can lie and claim that they had their personal things taken away. Take care of you things. No one else will.

Orr you could just buy a new coat. You WERE at Target right?

28 at my target we would be looking for it. and unless some else picked it up and stole it, it would be easy to find, for me at least.

Was there really any reason to RUN into the dressing room? I mean, if there was a zombie outbreak, and the dressing room was made of reinforced steel, sure, but if that happened, and you survived, you should be posting on MLIA. Otherwise, you probably should have made it obvious that your cart was still in use.

One question, are you a girl with a bald head? Just wondering.
mrahhhhh 21
Ask for an employees help finding it, dummy. If you get a dick response like "It's out of my hands now, but I can tell you where I think I left them.", just pretend it means, "Sorry for your loss. Please take a hat, coat, and gloves of comparable value as compensation." Of course be sure to be stealthy ;).
