Friends, Clothes and Awkward: Late start

Late start

By Rachel - 18/05/2009 15:23 - United States

Today, I was planning on meeting my friend at the mall. She came late, and I was in the dressing room trying on a few things. When I came out to meet her, she looked at me oddly and said, "You shouldn't buy that, it looks terrible on you." Those were the clothes I came in. FML

Today, I went shopping with a friend. She went to try some clothes on and came out to ask for my opinion. "Hell no! That shirt is awful!". She wanted to show me the pants. The shirt was hers. FML

Today, I thought the cashier said the new blouse I picked out was ugly as she was ringing me up. I'm really self-conscious about my fashion sense, so I snapped and started yelling at her. It wasn't until she was close to tears did I find out she said "lovely" not "ugly". So, that's another store I can't go back to. FML

It's not what you think

Today, I was shopping with a friend. We snuck into the same fitting room so we could give our opinions on each other's clothes. The suspicious saleswoman knocked on the door and asked how many people were in our room. I quickly answered, "It's OK. She's just watching." FML

Nice boxers

Today, I went shopping with my boyfriend. He tried on a pair of trousers which didn't fit, so he asked me to change them, so off I went. I returned with another pair for him to try on, found him bent over and blurted out, "What's with the terrible underwear?" I'd entered the wrong changing room. FML

Unnecessary

Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML

All my fault

Today, I went clothes shopping. I took my little daughter into the dressing room while I tried some clothes on. She somehow managed to open the door while I was changing. A lady outside then bitched me out for "exposing" myself to her kids. FML

Today, I was at the mall with my friend. A lady came up to us and told my friend that she could be a model. Then the lady looked at me and said, "Oh... Nice shoes." FML

The old switcheroo

By Anonymous - 13/03/2013 16:14 - United States - New York

Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML

Today, I was at my friend's house, and I asked if I could try on one of her dresses. It was a little snug, but I got it on. When it came time to take it off though, it wouldn't budge. My friend and her mom had to cut it off me. FML

Today, I was shopping in the mall. A cute store worker kept checking me out, so after I picked a few things I went up to her and started flirting. After a few seconds, she cut me off and said, "Actually I was watching you because you look like someone who would shoplift." FML

#8: YOU get a life, seriously. STFU. Omfg, are y'all dumb? OP said her friend came LATE, idk about y'all but I don't have telepathic powers to know what my friends will wear. OP: That sucks, awww :/ Just buy something & wear it out of the store, if it really made you mad.

are you people stupid? her friend couldn't have known what she was wearing, she came late. and FYL to the op, but at least your friend's being honest. i wouldn't consider that bitchy, it means she's close enough to be open with you.

I'd totally appreciate a friend that's honest with me so that i don't look like a total dweeb. But on the other hand, if you know you look hot and have been complimented by people other than her, then she's just a jealous freak that's trying to make you look like a dweeb... Your call!

Since the OP's friend thought she was trying on clothes (despite the lack of price tags etc..), she wasn't being mean, she was just being honest. If I was trying on clothes, I'd rather know BEFORE I bought them if someone whose opinion I valued though they didn't suit me. But you'd think someone would be able to tell if clothes are old or brand new with price tag sticking out.

Well, that's why you need new clothes in the first place.

This is not a FML... they're just clothes. She didn't say YOU looked terrible, she said the clothes you were wearing looked terrible on you. We all have days in which we left the house thinking we were wearing a good outfit, but then later realized probably not. Whatever. This doesn't mean your life is ******. Maybe just your fashion sense.

Haha that's funny. FYL. Hopefully you two are good enough friends you were able to laugh it off. And to all the ignorant posters saying her friend is a jerk or unobservant - the OP said she was *meeting* her friend at the mall - in other words, her friend wouldn't have known what clothes she came in.
