Today, as I was walking into CVS, two older men outside said to me "Young lady, please consider us on your way out." Thinking they were hitting on me, I rolled my eyes and said "Screw you." When I walked back outside, I realized they were asking for AIDS donations. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was walking down the street and while stopped at a light, this old man waved at me. Thinking nothing of it, I walked through a parking lot to get to where I was going, where he not only followed me, but mistook me for a prostitute. It was 5pm. FML
Today, I saw an old man who needed help crossing the street. I went over to him and helped him across the street. When he thanked me, I said, "No problem, sir." They responded by hitting me in the happy sacks and screaming that they were a woman. FML
Today, at the supermarket, an old lady asked for directions to the produce aisle. Having read way too many stories lately on this very site about awful elderly folks, I was wary, but helped her out. She gave me an awkward hug in thanks, lifting my wallet in the process, as I later found out. FML
Today, I was helping out at my church. At lunchtime, a really cute guy my age walked over and told me I was pretty. I was flattered, until I turned around and saw his annoyed buddies handing him several dollar bills. FML
Today, while on the bus, I started a conversation with the person next to me. After a little back and forth, she finally said, "Do you think people will stop talking to me if I say I have AIDS?" FML
Today, at work at a grocery store an old couple came through my checkout lane. As I was putting their bagged groceries in the cart, the old man started feeling me up. FML
Today, I was walking through town when a rough looking woman asked me for a cigarette. I don't smoke but I offered her some apples, and she took two. As I continued on past her, she pegged both of them at me, hitting the back of my head. 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 Target deciding what chap-stick to get when an old lady violently hit me with her umbrella and kept yelling at me saying, "You are too young for this! Think twice!" FML
Today, I went to my local pharmacy. Walking in, the security guard rudely asked me what I was going to buy. I brushed him off and walked in. I was paying and told the cashier what happened. She said, "Sorry, we get a lot of hobos, they tend to steal." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow, way to overreact. One thing this site has taught me is a lot of girls think they're getting hit on when they aren't. ******* get over yourself. You probably aren't that pretty.

YDI, how in the world could you think that they were hitting on you?

#92: Liking the role of the victim a bit too much? This FML is ridden with double standards.

Totally deserved it. You sound like a real, self absorbed bitch. You'd even be lucky to get a guy with AIDS to date you.

Madam, do us all a favor and get off your high horse and take the stick out of your ass. Not every old dude, shifty-looking fellow, and man waving at you is trying to sexually assault you.

102, yes, generally people in the city are not as warm and smiley to strangers on the street. But you can't say it would NEVER happen in the South, because, well. Rape and murder happens, and you can't be prejudiced and naive about that. And why automatically jump to Kitty Genovese? (Who, by the way, was NOT really seen by 30 people. If you read an actual report, or even think of it logically, most of the "eyewitnesses" Gansberg quoted lived higher than three stories up and were busy doing other things and only saw things from out a window and for less than a couple minutes, and Genovese was raped in a stairwell, not the street.) There have been other public displays of sexual violence of that sort, like the guy who raped a woman on the NY subway. OP: Never mind the fact that "Young Lady, please consider us on your way out" is hard to misconstrue as a pickup line, their tone alone should probably not be icky.

You suck for being conceited. YDI for sure. I'll also agree with the comments about girls who advertise their goods then act disgusted when they're checked out need to seriously reconsider what they're trying to prove with the outfits they wear. Dave Chappelle did a skit or a standup talking about this same topic as he dressed up as a police officer and when a person came to him for help, he replied with "just because I look like a police officer, does not make me a police officer!" classic, IMO. If you don't want to be perceived as a ****, don't dress like a ****.

You're so vain. You probably think everything is about you. YDI.

Maybe if you weren't such a dumb bitch that wouldn't have happened. Not every guy is trying to hit on you-- most if not all of them probably want nothing to do with your conceited ass.

YDI for being a dumb bitch

Ok hint, a sentence that starts off with a polite "Young lady, please..." is probably not sexually offensive. And you should have been able to tell from their tone that they weren't trying to hit on you. Even if they WERE trying to hit on you, though - no need to be so stuck-up and rude. Just ignore them and walk past.
