Cool beans

Today, I met one of my favorite webcomic artists. As I purchased a shirt from their booth, he asked, "What size?" I stupidly asked "How big is a small?" He chuckled, "It's small" and chuckled some more. So much for keeping it cool. FML

Today, I donated blood at a blood drive. As is the usual for blood drives, I was offered a shirt after donating. The worker handing out the shirts asked me for my size. I said that I was a medium. He looked me over, then asked, "Are you sure?" FML

Today, I went shopping with my friend. The store was having a special where if you spend over $75 you receive a free T-shirt. I paid for my items and my total was over $75. The salesman didn't hand me a shirt so I asked him for one. He looks at me and says "I'm sorry, we only have Mediums." FML

Today, while standing in line at the grocery store, I noticed that myself and the woman in front of me were wearing the same shirt. As she was about to leave, I said to her "Hey! I'm wearing that shirt!" She turned to me and replied, "Not in THIS size you aren't." FML

Today, it was my first day at my new job, which requires you to wear a special shirt. Come to find out, they only have medium sized shirts. I'm an XL. They demanded I wear the shirt anyway. FML

Today, I went to get new shoes. I'm a pretty tall girl and I have proportional feet. I asked the cute guy who worked there for a size 9.5. He burst into laughter before putting on a shocked face and saying, "Oh wait... You're serious." Goodbye, self esteem. FML

Today, a man at the comic book store I work at asked me if Spider-Man is based on a real story, and verbally abused me when, thinking he was joking, I laughed. He wasn't. FML

Today, my friends and I were shopping for dresses. I asked the lady at the counter for a size 4, she looked at me and mumbled "Yeah right." in front of everyone. FML

Today, I got junk punched by a midget in Sears for giving him "a funny look." I was trying to read the price of the fridge he was standing in front of. FML

Today, I showed my father a nice sweatshirt online, hoping he would take the hint and get it for me. He did, three sizes larger than mine, for himself. FML

That's not even a stupid question - you clearly meant it as in measurements. At least I hope that's what you meant.

To be fair, clothes range from different sizes no matter what their tag says. I picked up two sweaters the other day, a size 6 and a size 10, and they were both the same size. It's confusing haha.

I don't really see the problem with your question... The small could be an adult, kids, unisex, slim fit, female, male. I wear smalls, and some are still pretty big while others are really tight. Most band tees I get have to be extra small or it looks like a dress, while shirts from stores like Wet Seal or Forever 21 have to be a regular small or even a medium in case it shrinks in the wash. I had a (sort of) similar situation when I went to my first concert. After the show my friend and I stood around waiting to get merch, and when we got close I saw a box on the opposite side of this long table. Since I'm pretty short (4' 8"), I couldn't see what was inside or what was written on the front of it, so I asked the merch guy thinking there were pins, stickers, patches, or whatever inside. He and a lot of people around laughed and told me it was for tips. I still don't get what was so funny about that...

I do hope it was Jeph as he would have a good sense of humor about it and possibly use it later on.

It seems like the people who thinks this is a YDI are either trolling or never go shopping. All clothes are different in terms of measurements, so someone can be a small in one clothing, and a medium in another. A slight difference in measurement can also affect how someone will look in the same piece of clothing.
