Fuming woman accuses high street chain H&M of using curved mirrors that make customers look FATTER
The angry woman took to Facebook to express her unhappiness at the mirrors in the store
CUSTOMERS often complain about unrealistic mirrors in clothing stores.
For the most part, people complain that the mirrors are angled to make their reflections look thinner, but not this woman.
She uploaded wrote an open letter to H&M complaining that the mirrors in their store made her look FATTER.
The angry woman took to Facebook to express her unhappiness at the mirrors in the store with two photos, one in which she claimed the mirror expressed a true likeness and another where she believed she looked fatter.
Struggling to tell the difference between the two images?
You're not alone, the photo that was later shared to the picture sharing site has stirred a great deal of controversy.
The image, that describes the mirrors in the H&M store as having "no place outside of a fairground fun house," has now been viewed more than 310,000 times on the site.
The unnamed woman, who describes herself as 5ft 7" and a size 14, insists that the photo on the left makes her look larger than she really is.
Users have dismissed the womans claims as mislead.
Sionas wrote: "She was literally standing farther away lmao. What an idiot."
Another user made a valid point that also disproves this woman's claims.
"Why would a store have mirrors that make people appear shorter/fatter? Wouldn't that be awful marketing?" wrote judassong.
