Today, I realized why the lady I had complimented the night before on Halloween about her amazing one-armed costume, looked so hurt. She is literally missing an arm. I'm an asshole. FML

Ouch. You didn't know. Unless you made a horrible comment about her missing arm then she shouldn't take it to heart. Accidents happen.

You're not an asshole if you feel bad for the mistake you made.

it was a misunderstanding. you are not an a-hole OP. unless you did it on purpose and started to make jokes.

huh, reminds me of the time I complemented this lady on her awesome pregnant costume, turns out she was just fat.

Oops, not your fault Op, it was unintensional

I don't think she should be offended, it was a complement plus you didn't realise she only had one arm at the time, don't worry about it your not that bad :P

Cheer up, your remark shows that she incorporated her missing arm very well with her costume. :) Like the girl with a missing leg who smeared blood on the stump and carried a fake leg around.

you realised you were wrong that's a good thing... and it wasn't intended..

You're not an asshole because you feel remorse. It's okay, you didn't know.

I've honestly never heard of a one-armed costume though...

I wouldn't worry too much OP you didn't mean to offend and if she the type that holds a grudge at least you know she's semi-armless.

Just say nice costume...never can go wrong with that
