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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

what, you just left your stuff in the shop? Why didn't you get some staff to retrieve it for you, like, the staffmember who actually put the stuff away? Yes, the person who moved your stuff was stupid, but I can't help but think you were a bit stupid yourself for just walking off and not getting your stuff back. It wouldn't have been that difficult.

... Why did you leave them there? You could have asked an employee for them back. I used to work at Target, they have big baskets for stuff people leave behind.

I'm the OP and I just want to say that this was edited after I submitted it. It originally said that I DID leave my cart in the designated area and was literally in the dressing room for one minute. The employee swears the cart had been sitting there for at least half an hour. My stuff was not in lost and found and the girl couldn't remember what she did with it. A friend of mine who works there with this girl says it wouldn't surprise her if the girl had taken them, as she has admitted that she has taken other personal belongings. So thanks, FML, for editing my submission and making me look stupid. I now know that the posts without much information probably had it when it was submitted.

If this is your FML why does your profile say you have zero posted FMLs?

Because she hadn't signed in to her account when she posted it. OP, that sucks. The only solution I can see is to burn that mothafucka down.

Regardless you are stupid for leaving your personal stuff in a shopping cart and not bringing them into the fitting room. What if it wasn't an employee who took your cart away? What if it was another shopper who'd grab your things while walking by? The point is that if you are smart you'll never leave your personal things unattended. So, it doesn't matter how many details you put into your FML. Your actions are still stupid.
