Today, I joined a small disaster relief group. I remarked to the big, long-haired person beside me that it was surprising that I was the only female in the group. I got a cold stare. Later I asked another volunteer about that person. He answered, "Oh, her? She's my sister." FML

I sometimes can't tell the difference between the genders if it's like a really manly girl (hair, really big, deep voice, short hair) or a girly boy (high voice, thin, long hair, feminine face), so you don't deserve it. Seriously though, why'd she just stare at you? Couldn't she have said something? Like, "Actually, I'm a girl."? It would've clarified the situation immediately, and you two might even have a laugh over it.

I disagree. When you're unsure of someone's gender, you should avoid making comments like "I'm the only girl". A better comment would have been, "I'm surprised there aren't more girls here!"

Wow. A winning combination of being socially inept and unobservant. Way to go OP.

Riley is pretty gender neutral. Benji on the other hand...

That sucks. You kinda deserved it. But don't worry, you're doing a good deed by helping out with disaster relief efforts. God knows our country needs all the help it can get with the upcoming super typhoon and all :(

Apologize and fake a brain tumor. Otherwise, never go back again!

That's so embarrassing! I've done that when I substitute taught an eighth grade class... SWORE this kid was a boy and I said something about he was doing a good job... the class goes "did you just call her 'he'?"... I probably could have covered it up, but I froze and panicked and was caught.

Your fault for being a judgmental bitch.

That's not judgemental... She simply didn't notice that the person beside her was a girl. An honest mistake.

Was she a caveman or something? Sometimes it's hard to tell but it's not THAT difficult. Most women have boobs.

I seem to end up in those types of situations at stores a lot. It's worse when they have unisex names like Jordan or Taylor.
