Today, I was shopping in the mall. A cute store worker kept checking me out, so after I picked a few things I went up to her and started flirting. After a few seconds, she cut me off and said, "Actually I was watching you because you look like someone who would shoplift." FML

Today, I was at the mall shoplifting when a girl who looked my age pointed to a shirt I had in my bag. "Stole that, huh?" she asked smiling. She looked pretty cool, so I nodded and asked if she stole the jeans she was wearing, which were from the same store. Turns out she didn't, she's the manager. FML

Today, while walking around the local thrift store, I noticed an attractive guy watching me and following me through the aisles. As he followed me to my car I was sure I would get his number. He then asks me to bring my purse inside as I had been tagged as a shoplifter. I work at the store. FML

Today, while I was out shopping, a fairly hideous-looking woman stormed up to me and accused me of ogling her, saying, "As if I'd ever date you!" Less than a minute later, she'd somehow managed to bully me into falsely admitting to it and apologizing. FML

Today, I went shopping. At the counter, the cashier started flirting with me and asked me for my number. He was cute, so I gave it to him. After walking out of the store, I got a text that said, "I didn't want to say it out loud, but your pants are unzipped." FML

Today, a man finally was flirting with me in a supermarket checkout lane, even offering to help unload my groceries onto the conveyor. Turns out he was just distracting everyone so his partner in crime could steal $200 from the cash register. I had to give a witness statement to the manager. FML

Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML

Today, I went to the grocery store. I saw a very cute guy in the aisle and smiled. He smiled back and blushed a little. He walked over and I flirted with him. He said, "I thought you should know the zipper on your jeans is down" and walked away. It was. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML

Today, I was at the mall and I noticed this guy staring at me from across the food court. He smiled and waved at me so I walked over there and tried to talk to him. He was looking at his girlfriend the whole time. FML

When I was a frail, painfully shy little 10-year-old this girl told me I looked like the kind of person who would steal stuff....I never forgot it. She thought she'd seen me steal a bunch of cheap prize rings for the camp carnival, and said "You seem like the kind of person who would do that", but it was actually my friend. Ugh x(. I took it to heart, cause I was the most innocent, quiet kid there, and wouldn't hurt a fly. I'm 17 now, and after all those years I'm still afraid people will see me the way that girl did. It's pathetic. This FML just reminded me of that lol...I'm sorry the saleslady was a jerk :(. I guess just don't glance around a lot when you're looking at stuff, and keep your hands away from your pockets.

i totally understand you. when i was 10 or something i was reeealy shy and innocent girl but my friends always shoplifted so they convinced me to try. i just wanted to look brave and cool so I got about 30$ worth of stuff. on my way out I beeped and I was caught, the store manager came and called my mother and told me the police were coming, that there would be serious consequences and that I should be ashamed of myself. I was crying and I was really terrified. my mom was furious and she was really dissapointed about me. they didn't really call the police but they told me never to set foot in the store again. now, even though that was almost three years ago, I still feel really bad about it and everytime I go in a store I am terrified that someone will think that I'm stealing. I feel like a criminal and I actually have nightmares about people yelling at me and bringing me in prison! it was really a traumatizing experience. your sales assistant is an IDIOT. I would get angry with her.

haha ouch, that sucks. but if it makes you feel any better, i'm sure she doesn't mean you look like a thug or something, but a lot of times people can look suspicious if they hover over something or continually look at the sales people while shopping. i always used to watch people like that when i was in retail, just to be sure.
