Today, I was at the store buying some feminine products. At the cash register, the clerk said to me "Dude, you know those are for girls right?" I am a 30 year old woman. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the store to pick up some feminine products. As I was paying, the male cashier looked at me sympathetically and asked if it was my girlfriend's time of the month. I'm a girl and was buying them for myself. FML
Today, I was working at my job as a cashier, checking out an elderly woman's groceries. She was very nice, and we chatted for a couple minutes. Once she had paid, she leaned close to me and said, very politely, "I'm so so sorry that I mistook you for a girl at first, young man." I AM a girl. FML
Today, I went to the library to bring back some books, I walked up to the counter and the librarian turned to me and said "What can I do for you young man?" I'm a girl. FML
Today, I went to the store to pick up some tampons. After waiting in line for about 10 minutes, the male cashier looked at me as I was leaving and said, "Have a nice… week!" FML
Today, the cashier at the local grocery store in my area said that I don't look a day over 40. I'm 28. FML
Today, I was at the supermarket checkout. I handed over my items, which included some tampons, tissues, and toilet roll. The security guard standing beside the cashier remarked loudly, "I'll be damned; she's flowing from every hole!" FML
Today, I was sitting in Walmart and I saw an attractive woman walking by. Being the single guy I am, I went up to her and asked if she needed help with carrying her groceries. She responded with "You know I'm a guy right?" FML
Today, my daughter got her first period, so I went and got some products for her, certain that I knew what was needed. The lady cashier took one look in my basket and sympathetically asked if it was my daughter's first period and if I wanted help, since I clearly had no idea what I was doing. FML
Today, while shopping, a few giggling girls came up to me and asked why I was wearing a dress in public. Highly confused, I didn't answer. When they walked away laughing, I realized they thought I was a man. I'm a woman. FML

It's too bad that he mistook you for a man. But, really it's none of his business. Nice men go out and buy their women feminine hygiene products all the time. He's ignorant and just lonely because he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Did he maybe mean teenage girls? Either way, FYL!

I'm female. I'm also tall. Half my head is shaved. I go out in my boyfriend's shirts and jeans sometimes, with no makeup. And yet people don't comment on my gender because... oh yeah! It's none of their ******* business. That cashier was bang out of line. It's none of his/her business to comment on customers' purchases. Receiving incrdibly bad service is nothing to do with how OP looks, so leave her alone. It's not her fault.

Maybe when he said girls, he meant teenagers? Like younger girls will use them, while you should use some other brand. Idk, I'm a guy, so.

I now have the Teen Titans theme tune in my head, except it's Teen Tampons! In the UK at least, I've never seen 'feminine products' with age restrictions. But yeah... it's possible, i guess...

Hey for all you people telling her to put on makeup and high heels to make her look more feminine: What if she is a lesbian? What if she doesn't want to look feminine? I know some butch lesbians who have gotten mistaken as men. You guys are stupid for trying to dictate what a woman should look like.

"what if she is a lesbian?" yeah, way to generalise there.

Seriously. Not all lesbians want to look like men. OP's sexuality shouldn't even be called into question here; it just isn't relevant.
