Today, I was trying on some shoes when I felt the heels break underneath me. Not only did they cost two paychecks worth, but as I was leaving I heard the sales girl say that "we really should have a weight limit for who can try on our products." FML

geeze, leave her alone. people can break heels easily without being big. my best friend is 60kg, and really tall, and she broke a pair of heels when we were out the other night. honestly, they can be easy to break, she might not have been a big person. even if she is, some of you arseholes need to shut the **** up, cos theres no way in hell you're perfect, let alone the op. and whats so bad bout trying on something you might not buy? i try on shoes and clothes that are expensive that i dont have an intention of buying, but just want to see what it looks like, and then maybe save up and buy it. plus, two paychecks worth? ever thing maybe she has a part time job whilst at school or uni??! i say complain to the manager, cos that was rude what the girl said. and dw about what some of the idiots on here are saying! :)

Why does the thyroid gland always get mentioned in fat threads? Most people aren't fat because their thyroid doesn't work. They're fat because of unhealthy diet and lifestyle. I'm sorry if you genuinely have a thyroid problem, #92, but just because you have it, it doesn't mean every other fat person does. Mentioning it every time there's a fat thread only helps the fat OP keep blaming their weight issues on something or someone other than themselves.

Let's be honost. You all need lives rather than insulting someone who you have no clue wether they're what you call fat or not. We all have different ideas of what fat is and what it's not. And who ******* cares anyway. Oh right the people who have nothing better to do with their time.

How flimsy are these shoes?? We're you walking on them improperly or something?? I don't see how they could break otherwise, I would have refused to pay, that sucks girl!!

I tried on a pair of 5" heels. I gimped about four steps hissing in pain; "Foot cramp, foot cramp." Customers and staff in the store cracked up. I was glad I inadvertently brightened their day, but relegated anything higher than 2" as masochistic.

Made my day! :) I once got stuck in a shirt I was trying on.

That's when you turn around, and tell her you agree that she really shouldn't try on the shoes, and leave.

Lol op you must be morbidly obese, but I bet it's just a thyroid problem and not the 3, triple sausage bacon muffins you have for breakfast everyday

Just letting you know, there is no law that enforces "you break it, you buy it". Even if the store puts up a sign that says so (if a store put a sign that said "you look at it, you buy it", would it be enforceable?). It's the store's risk to display shoes for trying on purposes, and if they want to reduce the amount of breakages, maybe they should enforce a weight limit. In saying that, the salesperson shouldn't have let you hear that, and I think you should go back and complain, and ask for a refund.

Tell her they should also have a limit for how bitchy a salesperson is allowed to be. That'll shut her up.

why would you try them on if you know you can't afford them

I would have questioned the integrity of the product. And probably called the sales girl out, too.
