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.

If you need two paychecks to buy shoes, you shouldn't be buying shoes.

Ydi for being willing to spend 2 paychecks on a pair of damn shoes

You do realize she wasn't "willing" to do it right?

talk about cheap and over priced shoes then. FYL indeed. and the sales person is a bitch!

How do you know OP is fat? It could be just crappy shoes. She was dumb for paying for them when they break inside the store. That's the store's problem not hers.

My thoughts exactly. Not everyone who is heavy is fat. Maybe she's tall, or a body builder. Who knows.

you know she's fat because the sales person muttered that they ought to have a weight limit on who tries on their shoes..

the worker was probly a stuck up prep who thinks anyone over 90lbs is fat.

While that is a possibility, I think the fact that the shoes broke is fairly telling. I suspect the OP needs to lose weight. And not because I'm stuck up. Weight is a health issue; the OP could be at risk for all kinds of problems.

Hey genius, don't try on shoes you obviously can't afford. What's the damn point? If I see a product that I want but can't afford, I ignore it.

Haven't you ever tried something on, then looked at the tag and said "nevermind." Stores sometimes make the prices hard to find so you'll try it on and fall in love with it before you see the price.

If you are seriously fat enough to break expensive shoes (which I assume they were from the two paychecks, either that or you have a really shitty job) then YDI. Lose some weight.

Any shoes that break when you try them on are in no way worth 2 paychecks, even from a McJob. I don't care whose name is printed on the sole.

Sorry, the reply system bugged out on me.
