Today, it was my first day at my new job, which requires you to wear a special shirt. Come to find out, they only have medium sized shirts. I'm an XL. They demanded I wear the shirt anyway. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I went shopping with my friend. The store was having a special where if you spend over $75 you receive a free T-shirt. I paid for my items and my total was over $75. The salesman didn't hand me a shirt so I asked him for one. He looks at me and says "I'm sorry, we only have Mediums." FML

Today, I donated blood at a blood drive. As is the usual for blood drives, I was offered a shirt after donating. The worker handing out the shirts asked me for my size. I said that I was a medium. He looked me over, then asked, "Are you sure?" FML

Today, was my first day at a new job. I was really pleased with how much positive attention I was getting in a mainly male office. Guess whose shirt was see-through. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some new shirts. I tried them on and none of them fit. When I walked out to return the shirts, everybody was staring at me. I looked down to see why. I'd forgotten to put my original shirt back on. FML

Today, at my new job at McDonald’s, they only had uniform pants in a size 36 or 56, nothing in between. I’m a size 40 so I squeezed into the 36. When I told my supervisor I couldn’t tuck my shirt into the pants like they asked, because I couldn’t close the top button, she told me to lose weight. FML

Wardrobe malfunction

By Anonymous - 28/03/2023 18:00

Today, I woke up early to make a good impression at my new job. As I was getting dressed, I noticed my shirt was missing a button. I frantically searched for another shirt, but couldn't find one that looked clean enough. I had to go to work in my buttonless shirt, and spent the entire day feeling embarrassed. FML

Today, I was the first one to wear the ugly corporate shirts we received. The people in my office-all of them guys were all saying that it looked a lot better than they thought it would. Later that day I went to the toilet and saw the shirt gapes open in front and you could see my boobs. FML

Today, I found out that shirt sizes don't get longer, they get wider. Being 6ft4, every shirt I try on makes me look like a cheap stripper. FML

Today, I got yelled at by one of the managers at my store for tucking in my shirt in the crew room. She called it unprofessional and offensive. It was my first day. FML

Today, my husband bought me XL pajamas for my birthday. I got really angry, telling him that's obviously not my size. I tried them on just to show him how ridiculous they look. They fit. FML

Just because he wears an XL shirt does not in any way mean the guy is fat. He could have broad shoulders or muscular arms. Or maybe just be fit and like the extra room. Most built guys where L or XL shirts and even if he had a tummy so what. A medium is too small for most guys to be wearing anyway.

Pssht, you should have "worn" it on one arm, or as a bandana, or something like that. Just in case their store policy isn't specific enough for that eventuality, which is a good possibility.

why everyone debating about whether OP's fat or not? it's not like that makes a difference in the story, its FYL either way. What man would be comfortable with his belly hanging out for the world to see?

To all the people calling OP a fatass: **** YOU!! An XL doesn't mean he's fat! My boyfriend is an XL because he is very tall and has broad shoulders. The same could be said about OP.

To everyone saying the OP is fat: My boyfriend is 6'3" and nicely built. He wears an XL shirt simply because he is so tall. To him, a medium sized shirt is like wearing a midriff shirt. Same with my dad and brother. They are both tall and muscular, and neither one of them are fat, they all wear XL shirts too. Don't be so quick to judge.

Nonsense. XL shirts just get wider and barely longer, if any at all. I am 6'3" and I wear a medium

Well, if it's looser on you, it hangs down further. I wear a men's extra small in t-shirts. They fit comfortably, only a little looser than I prefer, and the hem just below my hips. A men's medium is considerably baggier and, despite being maybe an inch longer in measurements, the hem hits about two inches below my crotch. Anything larger, and it's just ridiculous. Might as well be wearing a dress at that point.

Either way, it doesn't matter if the OP is fat. They shouldn't be forced to wear something that does not fit them and/or makes them uncomfortable, whether they have a muffin top, the shoulders are too small, or the neckline chockes them.
