Today, I went to the new gym I recently signed up for and started exercising in the men-filled weights room, despite being intimidated by them and the strange looks they were giving me. Workout over, I left the room and saw in front of me a door marked, "Women's weights room." Oh. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I went to the gym after months of procrastinating. I walked straight into the glass wall next to the entrance instead of the door. A guy lifting near the front desk winced in sympathy. I still worked out, but I could see my face slowly swelling in the mirror. FML
Today, I went to the gym. I tried out a new machine where you do one-arm weightlifting. I took my time to get into a good position, then set the machine to the lowest weight possible. I couldn't even lift it an inch. A bunch of buff guys nearby saw me and burst out laughing. FML
Today, I’m a gym newbie and worked up the courage to go to the weights section. I loaded what I thought was a reasonable amount onto a bar and tried to lift it… except it didn’t move. At all. I pretended I was “just stretching,” then removed half the weights while hoping no one noticed. Someone definitely noticed and gave me an encouraging thumbs up. FML
Today, I went to my gym and tried a new workout machine that had just been installed. I set the weight too high and ended up stuck halfway through a lift, making weird struggling noises. Most people around me stopped and stared as I awkwardly dropped the weights. FML
Today, I walked into the gym in my new workout outfit and headed straight for the weight machines. After 10 minutes, a staff member tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Sir, this is a physical therapy clinic.” The gym was next door. FML
Today, I was at the gym. I'm 360 lbs and have finally decided it's time to change that. Some girl and her two bitch friends thought it'd be fun to follow me and belittle me at everything I did. When I mentioned it to the staff, they said that they were just "encouraging" me. FML
Today, I was denied membership to an all-women's gym. Why? Because "men are not permitted to join". I am and have always been female. FML
Today, while I was at the gym, I saw a guy walk into the girls locker room. I was walking nearby so I said, "Hey man, that's the wrong one." Turns out it was just a very masculine-looking woman, with a very masculine haircut. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months and couldn't figure out how to use any of the equipment. FML
Today, I was in the gym when I noticed three trainers who worked there staring at me. Thinking that they were checking me out, i turned the speed on the treadmill higher. Finally one of the trainers came over, and asked me to leave until I got a sports bra that actually worked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

many gyms have co-Ed weight room and a separate womens one so they can work out without the stares. never heard of an all male weight room. OP probably was fine where she was.

It makes perfect sense. It may not be written perfectly, but anyone with a brain will be able to put it together.

it's bloody simple to understand. she's a woman, doing weights in an all male weights room. They gave her weird looks because obviously they were wondering what she was doing in there. She then finished her workout and saw a "Women's weight room" sign. FFS can't people think for themselves anymore. Don't blame someone else, just because you're slow.

#10, it must take a real moron not to be able to understand the OP. I can make it real simple for you in this quick summary: OP went in the wrong room. See how simple that was? If you want a more detailed explaination, please refer to 14 and enjoy looking like an idiot. Have a nice day.

Eh, he probably forgot to look at the noted gender when reading it and assumed op was a man.

14 didn't clear it up at all lol. The way it's written makes it hard to understand where the sign was. To simplify, there were two weight rooms, one for each gender. OP went into the opposite one without realizing it until she left.

Sure it makes sense if they actually don't let females in that workout room... you can't spell sense.
