Today, while shopping at Victoria's Secret with my friend, I saw a man holding a lacy bra up to his chest. When my friend and I passed by, I whispered, "Ew, what is that perv doing?" The "guy" immediately turned around and snarled, "I'm a woman, you little bitch," and threw her bra at my face. FML
I agree, your life sucks (5816) - you totally deserved it (37047)

You cared enough to post that :D
As for the FML, FYL seriously. Poor thing, those butch bitches need to stop being so butch if they don't want to be mistaken for men. Not your fault, OP. I'd have called it a perv too if I thought it was a guy. Except I'd have thrown some granny or male undies back at it and told it to look more like a female. That and the original undies thrown at me, I'd scream in disgust and say I don't want it's germs on me as *I* don't want to catch man disease.
You ignorant pig plenty of people cant help the way they look and i am pretty damn sure there have a lot of people who have thought horrible things about your appearance as you've walked by it's not fair of you to go judging people like that. Also "man disease" really are ten years old or something. My advice before you go spewing your ignorant opinion you should probably wait for your balls to drop and your voice to change.

That's what you get for being a bitch. Even if it was a guy, it's none of your business and you don't have to call him names for it. I hope you learned your lesson, you totally deserved it for hurting someone's feelings for no reason.

But it was for a reason... Some of us would feel extremely uncomfortable seeing a man in a female department. If it turned out to be a female well how is it your own fault when they look like one? Would YOU want to be say, in a change room at a lingerie shop, being female etc having a male there? If it's a butch female... Once again... That butch female CHOOSES to look like a male... Anyone could try look more like their gender. Obviously it likes looking the way it does or can't be arsed enough to change its looks - once again not my fault.
Well, I guess you wouldn't be able to enter the VS around here since there are also guys working there. Who cares about changing in a lingerie store? It's not like you're dropping your bra on the sales floor and changing there. There's changing rooms for a reason. Are you that paranoid that a guy would try and bust down your door or something just to take a peek? Also, there are plenty of girls who take their boyfriends or guy friends into VS with them. Are you bothered by them too?
OP's the one in the wrong. Even if she thought it, she shouldn't have said it loud enough for the woman to hear. Bitch got what she deserved.

it's one thing for a guy to be working in a lingerie store, or simply browsing for a present for his wife/girlfriend. it's another thing entirely for a guy to be holding articles against his person. THAT is creepy and it's not as though the OP shouted it. she whispered to her friend. if you don't want to be mistaken for a man, QUIT LOOKING LIKE A MAN. grow your hair out, wear some makeup, wear skirts in public, something.
#36 - On 09/02/2009 at 8:26am by diet_otaku
first of all, you don't say stuff like that until you LEAVE the store. and even if it was a man, he could be a tranny or being buying a present...and just have no skills at that but, you somehow managed in one sentence to insult the same female twice (first for calling her a perv, and the second for calling her a flat-chested man)
#52 - On 09/02/2009 at 10:38am by the_stereotype
#36, She obviously didn't 'whisper' it low enough, if the person she was talking about heard her, and anyone within the same distance must have too, making it totally more humiliating for the poor manly woman.
#58 - On 09/02/2009 at 12:24pm by DuhthatsObvious
So if I understand you correctly it's the woman's fault that you are calling her names, because she doesn't look the way you would like a woman to look?
And I can't believe girls freak out about a man in a lingerie store. Oh no, how perverted! He might look at your underwear THAT YOU'RE NOT EVEN CURRENTLY WEARING! My god, you're uptight.
#62 - On 09/02/2009 at 12:51pm by crazy_cat_lady24
YDI. Not every butch woman, can just 'look female' by growing their hair out, and putting on make up. Some girls just don't have feminine features. How is that their fault.
And to those of you that think butch women are ugly. Thats your opinion, and it's close minded. As long as someone is comfortable with who they are, why should we judge.
God. I hope Karma is real.
#66 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:22pm by Combustion
wwaaay agree with #2 , YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI your lucky she didnt sock you in the face if I were her I would have.
#70 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:53pm by liveBabylon
I can't see the problem with a male in the female department at all. What are you, some fucked up prude? Or do you think you are so hot that everybody constantly stares at your bits? Get over yourself!
#72 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:57pm by JanisEvans
I agree with #2. Stop being a bitch and calling a random guy you don't know a pervert. You might want to learn how to spell PERVE too.
#25 many women have manly bodies and can't change that except maybe with really expensive surgery
some women prefer to look like "tomboys" and prefer not to conform into superficial standards that society sets for them and you obviously are too narrow minded to realize that they aren't "faggots" or accept them if they are gay/homosexual/transsexual
Aw, I like this thread. Makes me happeh.
And I don't give two shits about a guy in a lingerie store. As far as I know, many guys like to buy /special/ presents for their significant others there.
Also, pervert =/= nasty creep.
Though the term pervert is like furry -- too many ways to describe it that can both be tame and horribly wrong oh god why.
Except it's better than furry because we're ALL perverts in some way, since it's such a vague term.
Mmm, yummy.
#107 - On 09/03/2009 at 12:12am by DameGreyWulf
exactly. and even if it was a guy, and he wasnt buying it for himself, he could have been buying it for his girlfriend or something.
i cant stand when people make ridiculous assumptions
I guess you can't go into the lingerie store, then. There are guys in there sometimes...buying things for their wives/girlfriends, or being dragged in by their wives/girlfriends. Sorry, but there are men in the lingerie store sometimes, and they aren't necessarily trying on the products.
And, if they are trying shit on, so what?
Yeah seriously YDI for being a bitch... What would it have to do with you if it were a man anyway?
#76 - On 09/02/2009 at 2:52pm by CannibalGuy
Something ate my comment as I tried to edit a typo. O_o
Anyway, MAJOR YDI.
Being a guy who wants to wear a bra or be a woman doesn't makes him "eww" or "perv".
You're closeminded and untactful as well, aside from the fact it wasn't even a guy to begin with.
Edit, nevermind, the comment reappeared. Weird bug. O_o
Oh yes, a guy wearing a bra is so superweird. It's not like hundreds-thousands of guys do it or anything.
#63 - On 09/02/2009 at 12:52pm by crazy_cat_lady24
I don't think it's weird for a guy to be holding a bra, as long as he isn't spooging into it at the moment. What's weirder is people saying "ewww" like they are the gold standard. They should keep their fool mouths shut and squawk when they get to the car if that's what they're into. Besides, some people have androgynous features. The only time I get mistaken for a guy is when my strap-on is poking against my pants and then I gotta ask, "Why you looking at my dick, son? hm?" It's a two way street to be sure... xD
ANOTHER fml about someone confusing a woman for a man? people, where's your INSPIRATION?
#10 - On 09/02/2009 at 6:18am by unfortunate_13
you do know that things happen more than once in real life right?? do you expect everything to be completely unique
except this seems a little odd to be posted within 1 or 2 days, and at the same time make no sense.
"ew what is that perv doing" doesnt suggest anything about the woman with the bra specifically and yet somehow she knows theyre talking about her AND that theyve mistaken her for a guy...kinda weird.
im sure ive said something equally as vague and insulting and ive never had a random stranger infer anything from it.
#42 - On 09/02/2009 at 9:36am by organisedchaos
If you want to say something to your friend about how you think a creepy "guy" is somewhere you can do that. Your problem was you whispered it while walking passing the person and meant from them to hear what you thought of them when you had no idea why they were there.
YDI even if it was a guy he could have been buying something for his wife. You learned your lesson bitch.
#15 - On 09/02/2009 at 6:21am by FMLMeetYDI
So you are a pervert if you buy some underwears for your girlfriend/sister/friend/wathever?
A true pervert would steal a pair of used ones and not something unused.
if he were buying it for his wife, would it really have been necessary to hold it up to his chest....

my fml am the "guy"
today while shopping at Victoria I held a lacy bra to my boobs to check how it looks on my tiny breast. At that very moment a huge titted plastically mutilated fat short bitch passed by me with her prawn(facial features resembled a lizard ) looking friend and called me a perv. In return I started licking her cleavage. fml
#22 - On 09/02/2009 at 7:00am by Trollkiller
Never assume, because you'll end up making an asshole out of yourself.
#26 - On 09/02/2009 at 7:31am by ILIEKGIRLS
i know, that's what i was thinking! she must get that a lot if she knew just who the OP was talking about. Maybe she's a woman... now. hahaha
Wow, you are a real bitch. Who does shit that like that when the person is standing right there. I hope someone walks past you talking shit and we will see how it makes you feel.
...do manboobs really need support? no. they need diet and exercise :P
#45 - On 09/02/2009 at 9:44am by organisedchaos
i certainly hope you chose to ignore my homonym of support...
#112 - On 09/03/2009 at 6:58am by organisedchaos
you would all be shocked at the number of "normal" men who wear womens clothing. why do you care anyway? more women and children are raped by your so called "normal" society than cross dressers or lesbians.
before u guys go all off on the judgemental deep end, it looks to me from the way she phrased it that she believed that the woman was a heterosexual, non cross-dressing male. so, lay off.
#48 - On 09/02/2009 at 10:12am by allocomrade
If "she" was so defensive, I'm guessing it was really a man who cross-dresses and wishes he was a woman. At least you didn't see "it" come out of the dressing room wearing the bra and a nice lace G-string to model it for its husband.
#49 - On 09/02/2009 at 10:13am by Intoxicunt
not necessarily. some people can look like both genders, so they get people mistaking their gender really often, which I imagine can be _incredibly_ annoying.
Haha, I know what you mean. I was joking.
My brother used to get called "miss" all the time before he started growing facial hair.
#51 - On 09/02/2009 at 10:33am by Intoxicunt
You deserved that, you bitch. Actually, I wish she would've slapped you. You have absolutely no right to judge anyone. Even if it WAS a guy. You're pathetic.
Its people like the OP that dont understand that there are trannys and men buying gifts for their lovers. To the OP, people have the right to buy ANYTHING they want. So mind your own buissiness.
LOL, owned!
That's what you get for being rude, close-minded, and bitchy. :D
PS: work on your whispering, since you're obviously not very good at that at all. (:
#67 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:28pm by magneticcheese
i think that was a man that turned into a woman. because i can never see a real woman actually saying that. plus its not like they would throw their bra at you or hold it up to their chest they can just try it on! plus who says :little bitch?
Some people say that YDI for being rude. I disagree, because it's a small mistake if you thought she was a man. She over-reacted to what you thought, and so is everyone here.
FYL, NOT YDI.
#69 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:41pm by LegndNikko
No, silly, not life is horrible, you are! God, I can't find words to say just how much you suck!
#71 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:55pm by JanisEvans
Honestly I think that it is hard to tell the gender of certain people but you shouldn't just assume what gender they are. And if you want to whisper to your friend do when you are 100% positive you are out of earshot of that person. YDI

#83 - On 09/02/2009 at 3:40pm by waterynuggets
I'm a little curious about how she knew you were talking about her... I mean were you outright STARING at her? Cuz if not then obviously she must know she looks like a man if she knew you were referring to her...
#80 - On 09/02/2009 at 3:27pm by shananigans
I read the part with the butch girl yelling at you in a Mortal Kombat "Finish Him" voice. Hilarious.
#81 - On 09/02/2009 at 3:30pm by Donthavekids
I gotta say, I work at Victoria's Secret, and I've seen much weirder shit than a man trying out a bra. And about 99% of that weird shit is from our female customers, so I would welcome men in our store with open arms at this point. (Also, our male customers are usually very polite, whereas a good 75% of our female customers are straight up bitches). Maybe its because I'm from NYC and see transvestites almost everyday (most of whom look better than a lot of actual women), I really couldn't care less. People need to learn how to mind their own business. Like honestly OP, would a man buying a bra for himself really shatter your perfect little world? If the answer to that is yes, then you need to get out more.
Plus, a sale is a sale. Male or female, if you're giving my store money, I salute you =)
#82 - On 09/02/2009 at 3:38pm by ihatestupidppl

The positive side: That woman probably had a worse FML-day than you.
The negative: Everybody on this site thinks your an a-hole.
#86 - On 09/02/2009 at 4:06pm by positivity
Mind your own buisness.. 'He' could've easily been buying it for a wife, girlfriend, friend, or even himself if he was infact a he. There's nothing wrong with liking lingerie either.
How is she the perv when you are oogling other people as they pick out lingerie? Mind your own business. If you insist on never growing up and being an immature brat all your days, at least wait until you are well away from a person before making fun of them.
At least that way their day isn't ruined by having to suffer your ignorance
#90 - On 09/02/2009 at 4:59pm by indianabummer
Watch what you say in public. Sometimes it's better to keep those little thoughts inside...or let them out when you're not around the person. YDI.
#91 - On 09/02/2009 at 5:10pm by AltoSaxKatie
I swear every time I go to post a comment, the last person on here already posted what I was going to
#92 - On 09/02/2009 at 5:41pm by lastusernameleft
It probably was a man because men who are like transgendered really think they are women. Even ones who havent had surgery yet. My ex-friend still has her penis but got the boob job and she wont talk to me anymore because I called her a guy. Thats like the worst betrayal to them.
#99 - On 09/02/2009 at 7:49pm by littlegoldwoman
Im on the management team at a Victoria's Secret so im not surprised.... we used to have a male customer, that would come in every 2 weeks to buy HIMSELF bras and panties....
i have no idea how he fit into anything because he was pretty hefty.
we see some wierddddd stuff there
#104 - On 09/02/2009 at 10:38pm by twoendstring
that's happened to me before, not knowing a person's gender. but even if you're a loose lipped jerk, it's rude to make remarks about people... until they leave the room at least.
You deserve it. That was rude. Yeah, you didn't know it was a woman, but you obviously "whispered" it loud enough for the lady to hear. You could have at leat waited until you were farther away, not next to the person you were whispering about!
YDI. Grow up, stop being judgmental and rude in public, and have some compassion and understanding for other people.
stop pretending everyone who has commented this fml saying your so judemental has never judged anyone? its human. your not jesus so stop being hippocritical. i do feel sorry for the poor women who was trying to make herself feel special and glamorous by buying a new bra and this was probably a major confidence fall for the poor women i pray she feels good with herself
#113 - On 09/03/2009 at 7:10am by addie_love
People are assuming the woman was ugly (like that should even matter), but she could have been someone like Natalie Portman when she had short hair- you couldn't necessarily tell from behind. Reminds me of that beer commercial where the guy tries to assist a "lady in need" who's a guy with long hair, and there's also a girl with short hair he mistakes for a man.
#114 - On 09/03/2009 at 1:10pm by kissmeimkati
LOOK, EVERYBODY i will explain this for the reasons those who are being SENSITIVE are doing so
you are not like the one who posted this, you are not like me, you are not like those who will like this comment
you are not skinny, pretty, beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, or recognizable in modern (both american and european) standards [please don't confuse these with E.Ds or any type of unhealthy behavior, I am healthy, E.D free, exercise, drink water, etc]
HAVING A PRETTY FACE is a gift. being smarter, stronger, more agile, all gifts.
so don't become so generous with the kindness to those less gifted... less evolved.
they are the underbelly of society. the insufferably average. the less educated. the impossibly.... disgustingly average
but most importantly:
if you look like a tough guy, act like one.
#116 - On 09/03/2009 at 10:02pm by socal_chicago
and FUCK everybody judging her for making a MISTAKE in gender placement
don't assume she has shitty character, she was worried about perverts.
who says that woman wasn't a pervert just because shes androgynous doesn't make her harmless.
#117 - On 09/03/2009 at 10:04pm by socal_chicago
did you know lesbians can shop at VS and can check you out too? :O
cuz omgosh, girls can be perverts too :O!!! shocking i know.
YDI, you got lucky, she didn't punch you in the face.
Plasmafox, fuck off! I'm a lesbian and I take offence to what you said. Do the world a favor and stop bagging on others sexual orientation just because you have nothing to do with that pathetic thing you call a life. GAY PRIDE!
Life was good when the gays were not so loud about it. I'm not against gay rights, but you guys sure do love to cause a scene.
Cause a scene? Like when they are standing up for themselves like loveyahun is?
How is demanding to be treated like a human and not a second-class citizen causing a scene? How about the rest of the straight world grows up and accepts all forms of love and people?
