Target called me fat, or an unwed mother. I'm still not sure which.
Yesterday, on my way home from a client meeting, I stopped by Target to pick up a few grocery items. As usual I took the long way through the clothing.
I’m always on the hunt for cheap, white tee-shirts to replace the coffee stained ones that fill my closet. I snagged a couple and headed to the dressing room. Having the world’s smallest chest makes shopping rather difficult. Usually a size small fits perfectly, but apparently Target decided to turn into a complete jackhole and started making the chest circumference bigger, and the arms much, much smaller.
I managed to get stuck inside a fucking tee-shirt.
I was trying to wrestle the shirt from my body when I heard the woman in the next dressing room ask, “Are you OK?” She sounded annoyed so I assumed she was talking to the child with her, and continued operation remove shirt from ham arm.
A minute later she knocked on my stall and asked again, “Are you OK in there? Do you need medical attention? I’m a nurse, or I can call someone for you.”
What the WHAT?
“One second,” I replied as I hurriedly gave the shirt one final tug. I heard the combination of fabric ripping and a grunting sound. Oh my God. No wonder she was concerned. I sounded like an 80-year-old constipated man, or a teenager giving birth to a secret baby.
I cracked the dressing door room open so she could see that I was OK, and not giving birth to an unwanted child that I would later abandon on the junk food isle. She looked relieved, apologized and left.
Thank God, because I didn’t really have time for pleasantries. I needed to hurry home and start the process of finding a plastic surgeon to move my arm fat into my boobs. It’s not really plastic surgery, it’s an all-natural body shift.

This had me cracking up.. thankx. I can totally relate. :)I have gotten stuck in clothing in the dressing room before.. and I would DIE if someone asked if I “needed help”… ha!
Good Lord, Sarah, I can’t get that mental picture out of my mind. I’m starting a new arm routine tomorrow. Let me know if you are in.
Oh my god, I too can’t get the image out of my mind.
So, let me know how your body shift works out and what doctor you went to.
k thanks.
Hilarious!!!
Believe it or not, it could have been worse. Target could have called you a fat unwed mother. Target’s like that, you know.
Thanks for the really good belly laugh, by the way. I needed that.
I got stuck in a dress at DOTS. Yes. DOTS. I didn’t know what to do and was trying to call a friend to come and rescue me but I couldn’t even get my phone out of my purse because my arms were pinned.
Somehow, in the course of events, I noticed the side zipper and pulled it down with my teeth.
Too funny…The same thing has happened to me…I could get a shirt pulled down over my head, but I have the opposite problem from you…TOO much in the “chest area”, and it got stuck there taking it off. I, too, ended up ripping it!!! Fortunately, no one heard my grunting to get it off. (Or, if they did, no one said anything!)

Don’t feel bad about anything Target tells you. We all know Target’s a big dirty whore.
Thanks! I needed a good laugh today!
Oh Sarah…how I miss you!!!
Okay, I know this is totally unrelated, but what has happened with Arlo? No longer friends?
