That should be alarming.
Someone alert the police!
the potential for win in this thread leaves me buzzing with excitement
First!
AHHH
MANBEARPIG!!
it’s fake. you can clearly see where it was photoshopped
… or so you thought, loser.
I think it more like win, lose, and draw.
Not necessarily a shoplifter. They often fail to bother removing the tags at a store and you may sometimes find that when you get home, the tag has been deactivated, but not removed. Or not deactivated *or* removed. There are guides online for how to safely remove them without damaging the clothing it’s attached to, but of course the best solution is to not be lazy and go back to the store with your receipt to have them properly remove it.
This.
Or, if it is a shoplifter, it’s a WIN, because she got away with it.
Either way, it’s a Failblog FAIL!
It’s a FAIL ‘cos she thinks it is part of the design and belongs there.
let’s be honest, if you saw a rhino of that magnitude fleeing your shop stealing a moomoo as ugly as that, would you get in her way?
I know i wouldn’t!
IKR. That happened to us a few weeks ago. We bought this shirt at a store and went inside to a different one and when we entered, the whole security thing went off. So my mom checked the stuff that we bought and it was a good thing that she did, because we had the chance to go back to the store and let them remove it.
But, either way, I don’t think someone is that dumb to not notice it or still wear it knowing that you have that thing stuck to your dress. Well, you’re even more dumb if you don’t know what it is or think that it’s actually a part of the dress, yeah?
That mannikin almost looks real.
She is quite the dummy.
are you sure it’s not a woman-nequin?
Looks nothing like Kim Cattrall
Do you think she’s a woman-equine?
Looks nothing like Sarah Jessica Parker either?
IS this supposed to be Sex and the City?
who nose?…umm.. knows… *whistles innocently while fleeing*
more like sex starved and the city…
Theft in the city?
One of my favourite cheesy 80’s movies!
I like Larceny and the Real Doll.
I think she needs one more taco.
Probably needs more cow bell too.
♪ Sittin’ downtown in a Max store patio, one taco over the line.
Max is a Swedish burger joint….
@fuzz – Har!
My guess is that, rather than a shoplifter, she’s a person on holiday, and didn’t notice the tag when packing and then had to wear it as is. We’ve all seen less appealing “fashion statements”, right?
I don’t think so. That tag is taken off by the person at the cashier when buying the piece of clothing, so either they forgot to remove it or the woman stole that.
Agreed…. sometimes you do forget the tag, especially if it’s busy or the customer is distracting you while you ring up the items. But there is NO excuse for just wearing it anyway!
Excuse: You packed the garment without noticing the tag, and ended up at your destination, discovered the tag, and couldn’t get it removed at the local store because you didn’t have a sales receipt.
I was once in Macy’s when this happened. The clerk explained to the guy she couldn’t take the tag off his leather jacket, she understood it was the only jacket he’d brought, and that the weather had turned cold. But still, she couldn’t do it without the tag.
I don’t know if he wore the jacket with the tag, bought a cheaper coat, or just froze…but I know I’d be as upset as he was, if I were faced with those choices.
In this case, though, I’d buy another shirt. If she’s on vacation, buy a souvenir t-shirt, for pity’s sake.
She probably stole it. The reason I say this is because nobody in their right mind would pay for a shirt that hideous. Fashion sense fail!
Lurk, Im BACK!
and i’m back too!!!!!!!
Seems like it would be uncomfortable too.
Pffft, it’s a gamer pod.
DEATH TO THE DEMONESS ALLEGRA GELLER!
You need to pay that, maam!
Wham, Bam, Thank-you Maam?
♪ Shoplift me up where I belong.
ooooooohhh
aaaaaaahhh

Maybe that’s a community dressing room, and she’s just trying it on.
Good idea actually; try it on, stuff yourself silly, see if it can stretch with your stomach.
Then back to the check-out line to check out your stretch out lines.

Lulz MAX doesnt sell tacos… MAX is swedish and makes the tastiest hamburgers
Way better than McDonalds or Burger King
Anyone can make better burgers than BK or Macdonalds
Doesn’t seem that way in Sweden. There are few options, at least in terms of big chains, beside McD and BK, Max being one of them. I can’t actually think of another chain beyond those three.
ummm..what about KFC?:)
we don’t have kfc in sweden
Ya we did, there was in the 80’s on Sveavägen.
Closest KFC now is in Denmark.
Hahaha thats where I live!! Thats the town of Uppsala in Sweden!
:upps: à la shoplifting … carte … blanche
:upp: salad for her, i think.
Stora Torget FTW!
she was sitting right here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=stora+torget+8+Uppsala,+Sweden&sll=59.858782,17.638802&sspn=0.002152,0.004823&ie=UTF8&ll=59.858871,17.639092&spn=0.002152,0.004823&z=18&iwloc=A
I thought it looked a bit like Malmö! But I’ve never been to Uppsala, so what would I know. haha.
Maybe she’ll soon get a matching ankle alarm monitor.
Like the kind Tom Cruise uses to control Katie Holmes?
Anyone seen that episode of Family Guy?
well its cheaper that way than designing one for an elephant
She has been tagged and released?
I like that, Jules. I’m going with your explanation.

1 more day to Friday!
LIES!!! The voices told me it’s Friday TODAY!!!!!
While I wouldn’t be opposed to a bonus cuddle puddle, it is indeed Thursday, which means you had better be prepared for FailFriends going commando, especially since Mal graced us with his presence today!
He left already.
…and I am on a commando diet. 
I try not to listen to the voices in my head too much. Otherwise I would be in jail by now.
Ugly, fat AND stupid, exactly my type
That lady just needs some magnetism, thats all….
She’s an android. That there is the on/off button.
Maybe a teeny tiny flying saucer is attempting to abduct her?
Pffftttt.
Moomin wins 100 internets!
Her probity is in question.
*ROFLz*
looks more like a portable version of the things you play air hockey with.
…could be, or maybe it is an action shot of some lolcats having thrown a kitty sized frisbee spectacularly badly!
…..or maybe it’s an action shot of someone playing mini golf, vertically.
…maybe lice have built a city hall on her back?
You don’t want to know where the Town Square is..
The one with the well in the middle?
She turns all the guys around her off with it?
I do that with my belching frequently!
Good morning special K @tcf. Nice blouse?
Good morning Jules. Well she does look electrifying.
Morning.
I think she looks resistant.
*tags Jules*
This is for the ring I haven’t seen.
It’s still there. Everyone else I think has seen it.

Just replace:

(dot) = .
and don’t touch anything else, and it should work.
Otherwise look up my email on my web site and shoot me an email and I will send the link through email.
SENT!!
Your URL hates my computer.
I emailed you back, if this doesn’t work I am going to say that your computer hates my web client.
GORGEOUS!! Are those rubies on the sides?
Yes, I wanted emeralds, her birth stone, but they are too soft to hammer set. So I went with my birth stone rubies.
I am just curious to know exactly what the person who took this picture was focusing the shot on
Hi. I’m the one who took the picture, but I didn’t upload it to this site. I’m not sure I understand your question.. I saw the funny tag on her shirt assuming it was stolen so I took a picture with my old SonyEricsson K800i.
She’s just desperate for attention, and this is her latest trick..
She does appear to have security issues.
That has got to be during the European Parliament election campaign during May/June, judging by the little “election huts” in the background, where the different parties hand out leaflets and other campaigning material.
Looks like someone elected to commit a fraud.
Good morning Fuzz. That blouse is a fraud.
Hi 5eagulls. Looks like someone needs to build a better blouse trap.
she needs council-ling about theft.
Good morning Jon yim. To the chamber with her!
It’s Afternoon here. And it took me a few minutes to work out what the yim was there for. You’re welcome to leave it out. Good Afternoon/morning anyway.
Looks like a tumor..
A good morning all served hot and on a plate.
let the alarms sound cause she stole the rate.
Arrow Arrow Arrow, whats been going on ere then!
*exhaustedly squeezes all*
*squeezes for k@… and squeezes for everybody!*
What? That’s an accessory win!
What? That’s an accessory to a crime!
What? Accessories sold separately!
Tag, your it!
Isn’t that where the Borg plug in their little mind controlling thingys? “You have been assimilated. Go out and steal really awful blouses! And BTW would you mind bringing back a burrito and knitting me a sweater? Thanks”
*points to mind controlling thingy on back*
You. Will. Join. Us. Join. Us. Join. Us.
*lurches towards skratdaddy, arms outstretched*
*runs away screaming*
Where’s my anti-mind taking over thingy? Let’s see, anti-aging cream, Swedish penis-enlarger pump, Sponge Bob body wash….
Ahh, here it is!
*points anti-mind taking over thingy at GBF*
Away with you GBF Borg guy!!
There’s my body double! I’ve been looking for GBF Body double no. 13452 for ages! Come along now, 13452. Sorry if he troubled you. They tend to go a bit cuckoo after many months of use.
*tugs body double by ear*
*lugs into jeep*
You should really ask the woman in the fail where she got her tracking device and use them on the body doubles.
Borg? Sounds swedish.
Shoplifter win, since no on catched her
Hey, do you guys like my new outfit?
*twirls and models*
Always a treat Ms. Leila!
Hi!
*hugsMal* Good to see you.
And you! Hope everything is alright, and, given your name extension, I believe my hopes are being achieved.
Well ya know…
… getting hitched to an awesome man does that to you. 
How is school going?
Congrats Leila!
* does happy wedding dance *
(Also this is an avatar test….)
TESTIES is successful.
I see a kitty.
…and thank you. It’s been more than a month.
Awww Congrats Leila!
Newlyweds are so sweet!
LOL. Thanks…we’ve been together for almost 5 years. I had to make an honest man out of him.
LOL
Beeeautiful!
Heyyyy!! How you doin’?
Oops sorry, you’re lushishness got the best of me.
Here, I brought you a nut for you to shine.
*presents Skratdaddy with a troll*
You’re giving him presents after he called you a lush? You’re far nicer than I, Leila!
I got a troll of my very own!!
*digs hole to bury troll up to its neck*
Awww you shouldn’t have!!
*looks for nut cracker*
Nice retro tracking device. The CIA doesn’t even try anymore…
They were supposed to install it in her head. They missed.
Maybe it slid down on to her back?
(Morning, Leila!)
It could happen. *squeeze* and good morning to you.
How is life treating you lately?
*feels back*
Hey, who put this here?
Quite well, actually. It’s pretty hot here in Japan, and the ironic thing is, if I stay too near an air-con, I catch a cold! I’ve been having sore throats this past week. Grrrr. And I’ve only got 2 weeks till school starts.
*searches bag for a sore throat remedy*
Here…have some ginger tea with honey.
*looks for antibiotics in another bad*
Actually, as counter-intuitive as it sounds, running a humidifier with the air-con will solve your problem. Sorry you’ve been suffering, though!
*Sympathetic squeeze*
*Good morning squeezes to the rest of the gang*
I was born in Japan. I’ve been living there for 13 years until I moved to London. I go every Summer and Winter to spend some time in my homeland.
Ooh, thanks for the tea!
*sips tea*
Mmmmm….herbal tea.
I learned something new about you today. Watch that sore throat. It can turn ugly very fast.
Most people are very surprised when I say I’m half Japanese, as I look very European in some respects.
The sore throats been going on and off for a few days. Gargling seems to help soothe it, though.
I deal with surprised people all the time. I love it when they finally figure out the box they put me in doesn’t fit. It’s even funnier with my daughter because she is very light with green eyes. It’s easier to tell people that we are mutts.
Gargling with sea salt and warm water is good too. I am into natural remedies.
house arrest fail?
They mistook her for a house?
check out the knob on the door
I was too busy playing with the knocker. (She only has the one)
Did you notice how overgrown her garden path was?
I’m surprised you didn’t check the backdoor entrance.
the back door seems to have been tampered with, it doesn’t close properly anymore
(i had nothing to do with it)
*squeeze!*
Good To Have You Back!
Oh, that pic was taken in my hometown; uppsala, sweden.
And the old lady must have been VERY stupid, haha.
Did you ever consider that maybe the salesperson was at fault for not removing the tag?
she’ll get plugged back into the matrix walking around like that…….I’d plug it anyway
Plug and play … I like it.
who are you in love with Leila?
Is it me?
*squeeze!*
Yes, YOU! ♥ ♥
*sigh*
*stares lovingly @ granny*
And here I thought it was me.
I can’t speak for Leila, but there’s plenty of me to go around
*bats eyelids*
Oooh, a love triangle!
with a round plug
…and a square hole.
why do you think I had a catflap installed?
and oblong teats…….oh wait
I will see you later Jules.
I have something special for you.
HEY!!!
*points granny to his own comment @ 6:35 am*
I thought that might backfire
I wait with anticipation.
I knew my disgusting comments would win you over eventually
stop that
Your comments are disgusting?
*bats eyelashes @ granny*
*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
*basks in the glow*
ok then
*gazes back*
*catches eyelashes*
OWZAT!
And why haven’t the England cricket team recruited you yet?
Bob1: First Batter up is Leila, but wait. Bob, what is that giant spider looking thing she is carrying?
Bob2: Eyelashes. I believe she is going to bat her eyelashes.
Bob3: Oh and a brilliant catch by The Moomin! Next up, the batsman’s Holding, the Bowler’s Willy.
Seems like a shoplifting WIN to me. She left the tag on for bragging rights.
The fail is not the shoplifting or not removing the tag, but shoplifting that piece of clothing is pretty disturbing.
Yay it works!
Everyone meet MeMe, the sweeter half of my kitty twins
Very cute! Siamese?
nope, just a rescued barn cat! I got two out of the litter of five, and they were bonded, and they match in color. Two others from the litter bonded, and they matched. And the fifth didn’t match any of them, and wouldn’t tame and was taken back to be with his mother!
Our first cat was a barn cat…so timid and shy. We didn’t hear him meow for about 3 months. His name is Pouncer. We just recently got a new kitty, Midnight. She’s four months old and quite the opposite of Pouncer…they make quite the pair…
Our cats are brilliant. Smudge is lazy and sleeps 23 hours a day, where as Sparky is basement cat incarnate, and spends 90% of her time murdering the local wildlife.
the flap welcomes meme, my cat’s name is keykey, it rhymes
Her brother’s name is Adrian… don’t suppose you have another cat with another rhyming name?
no but my one cat has many names, I could try and give him another that rhymes, all I can think of is alien though
He he.
I can totally see Granny walking around a neighborhood asking people for help finding his Alien.
*falls to the floor clutching stomach*
oh there it is!
Ewwww. Um. Do you need the first aid kit?
*rushes out to buy a cat and name it Derian so I can join the club*
Skrat, Bevo, Stitch, and Pez own me. Along with Ricky, Graci, and Cedric the dogs.
just said that out loud, my first cat’s name was KiKi, pronounced the same! Weird
clickie!
wow. that was…wow!
Funny thing tho, my Adrian is a total beggar! One crunch on a potato chip (his favorite) and he’s right under foot. Or any other food for that matter. So i kept thinking, why doesn’t that cat just eat it? Adrian would be all over that. Not that he always eats it, he jsut insists that I share
she doesn’t look strong enough to lift shops
*saws own head off*
Clickie!
phew! I thought that was going to be bad with a link like that, i made sure I had my back to the wall before pressing that
Lol! No, nothing like that. Some jokes just need a rimshot after them, and this fills that need.
Almost as much fun to press as Avis’s Red Button! Thanks!
almost as much fun as the shoplifter’s beige one
*curls into fetal position*
*rocks to and fro*
sorry about that
I feel Petty. Oh so petty. Petty thefty and wity.
*goes out to lunch*
I used to work at a clothing retailer. I chased a customer down one day when I realized I’d accidentally left the alarm tag on their clothes. I was very relieved to catch them before they got to the door and triggered the alarm, although I bruised my arm getting out from the little cash-register stall.
My boss scolded me for it, and told me not to bother with calling them back if (when) it happened again. She said it wasn’t worth risking a injury. (She was worried about worker’s comp instead of me, no doubt.)
I said, “Yeah, but I HATE it when it happens to me – the alarms go off and it’s so embarrassing!” My boss said, “How many times have you heard our alarms go off in the four months you’ve been working here?” I thought about it and said, “Never.”
She said, “Right. They’re not connected. They haven’t worked since I started here [couple of years before] and upper management won’t pay to fix them. We leave the stations at the front and keep putting the tags on the clothes so people will THINK the alarm will go off if they steal them, and that seems to do the trick. The bosses say that if the numbers ever indicate that we’re losing merchandise to shoplifting, THEN they’ll get the sensors fixed.”
I’ve been curious ever since then as to how many of the alarm systems in stores are actually operational…
They didn’t work at the grocery store I worked at several years ago either. But I swear it was like some of the stockers had them in their own heads. Man, they just knew who was gonna try to steal something, and they watched them like hawks. That’s how I learned the “I have a stomachache so I’ma go into the bathroom (and stash these sunglasses in the toilet tank)” routine.
The majority of them are operational. Besides, who would be stupid enought to try to shoplift anyway?
The tags from Ann Taylor if not removed after purchase will trigger the airport security alarms. It’s a magnetic strip sewn right into the garnment. I hate those little strips.
Ann Taylor is always watching you!!!
this picture was originally taken with the focus being…….???
If you go by the artistry world’s rule of 3rds, then this picture is of the lady.
Otherwise you are probably looking for something exciting on her lunch tray.
It’s Susan Boyle.
lol!
i’ve been there!
It’s in Uppsala, sweden
Haha, I know where this is.
It’s in Sweden in my hometown Uppsala at a place called Stora Torget (“Grand Square” in swedish).
And it’s on the day you vote for a parliamentary party!
Isn’t that little anti-theft device filled with some sort of ink or some such that ruins the garment and irritates the skin if the would-be thief tries to pry it off?
This might just be me being a bitter, misanthropic jerk, but I would pay to see her reaction when it gets caught on something and explodes all over her.
Also, HELLO FAILBLOG. I AM NOVICE. =D
This is in Sweden! MAX is a Swedish hamburger restaurant. And I’m from Sweden too
D
Det är i Uppsala för att vara mer specifik
Jag bor där så jag vet. hehe
lol thats in sweden =D “Max” is a swedish burger chain xD
Lol… Noob xD
Hahahaha!
This is too much, I used to work there before.
Might even been working during the time she were there.
I’ve never shoplifted but I have ended up with inktagged clothes before. A lot of times people DO shoplift a garment, get discouraged by the inktag, and turn around and donate the item to Goodwill. Fortunately inktags are really, really easy to remove with a hacksaw or a Dremel.
Yeah right!
seems like you are speaking from experience mr.five finger discount!
I wonder if that woman realizes she was stolen
Well, I voted this one down. It’s not a shoplifting fail. Somehow she got the shirt out with a security device, so she obviously wins.
On tuesday i put on my new dress but forgot the tag was on and proceeded to walk around all day with it hanging out. Kinda embrassing
Maybe it’s a fashion accessory
LOL, This is from my hometown Uppsala in Sweden!
Comments were a bit TL,DR, but in case you don’t know yet, this is Uppsala, Sweden
You’re terrible, Muriel.
LOL WIN SHE GOT IT OUT THE SHOP
noooo! OMG!! max at stora torget, Uppsala,Sweden!
i spent a lot of night eating after the nations!! ehehehhe
You all got it wrong!!!! Its a little sombrero and she is drinking tequila
Looks to me like a shoplifting success.
So?! Dutch artist and rock legend Herman Brood (known internationally with his song ‘Saturday Night’) always used to have those things attached to his clothing. XD
oh God…of all the things I never expected to see on here…that’s the central square in my home city…
they also sell fake alarm tags in some joke shops
if she didn’t notice someone puting it on (you have to get in the shirt) it’s a double-fail
She probably wheres like an XXX-large like fuzz so she couldnt pay for it because all the fabric costed alot
Never expected this
she probably thinks its just a another huge zit growing on her back…yet i find it intresting that shes clipping her nails while she has food in front of her…u would think it would be the other way around .
A SWEDISH PICTURE!
Poor defenseless chair. All that ass in one seat. nothing but an ugly dress seperating chair from the hippo like flesh of this giant skin sack. She should toss that lunch in the trash and take a brisk jog back to sea world. Shamu is lonley tonight.
Does being that big of an asshole come naturally to you or did you have to take classes?
On the picture: Max is the most awesome burger joint ever! I’ve been to that specific one several times myself
Max’s burgers are yummy.
wow, this is taken in sweden right? or is Max hamburger restaurant growing bigger?
Its uppsala
I miss Sweden….
does anyone know what is on that woman????
lol i actually saw something like this at reading festival except it was on a hoodie lol
i thought it was an airfreshener at first XD
Wow. Winona’s stacked it on a bit, hasn’t she?
Haha finaly an entry from Uppsala Sweden!!!!
