Today, I excitedly checked the mail to see if my Halloween costume finally arrived. It didn't. I live in an isolated city, so finding a costume by any other means than the Internet was impossible. I spent over $100 for a costume that I won't even get to wear this year. FML

Today, I was excited to finally receive my Halloween costume in the mail after the one I ordered back in September got lost in transit. Upon reaching my mailbox, I saw the lock had been broken off and my new costume had been stolen. The party is tomorrow. FML

Today, my Halloween costume finally showed up in the mail. Their consolation for a late delivery? A 50 cent discount. FML

Today, my company had a Halloween party. I was so excited seeing as our company never does anything, so I pulled out all the stops with my costume. I was the only one who got dressed up. FML

Today, I went to a costume party dressed as Prince. As I walked into the party, I realized that I was the only one who hadn't received the memo that the costume part of the party had been cancelled. I spent the evening awkwardly mingling with a group of confused strangers while dressed in purple satin. FML

Today, I dressed up like a pirate, dressed my dog as a parrot and bought $30 worth of candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters. I waited by the door for 3 hours. Not one kid came. FML

Pumpkin spice season is coming

Today, I was home alone and decided to try on my Halloween costume, a giant inflatable dinosaur suit. As I was prancing around the living room, my doorbell rang. Without thinking, I answered it. It was the mailman with a package. The look on his face as he handed a T-rex a box was priceless, but now he probably thinks I’m nuts. FML

Seriously, $100+ on a friggin cheap-ass costume? Why the f*** would you waste that much money on a cheaply made outfit that you are probably gonna wear once? That's a fail in itself right there. :P

Sorry, but how do you know what the costume is? It's not likely to be cheaply made if you're paying that much for it. I needed robes for my costume, £25 for cheap mass produced ones, or £90 for handmade ones. I paid the £90 and have beaut robes perfect for my size. I'm presuming for $100 they would be of a similar quality.

Complain to the place u ordered it from. They should refund shipping

This is why when you're ordering things for a special occasion online, you always order extra early in case of shipping delays. Thumbs down me all you want, but this should be common sense.

Just think, you're going to have the most rockin' Armistice Day costume EVAR! Hardly anyone makes an effort on 11/11, so you are going to take your town by storm!

Why not make a trip out of town?? I live an hour away from any city large enough to have stores that sell decent costumes. But, if I was that worried about having a costume, I would make the trip instead of taking my chances on a possible delay in my shipping from ordering online. YDI for being too lazy to make the drive or at least ordering sooner.

To all the people who are bitching about OP spending $100 on a costume shut the hell up! Is it your money?? Some people love Halloween. We've spent as much money making costumes as ones you can buy in the past so making your own, while awesome, isn't always cheaper.
