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.

I actually made an account so I could agree with irockmyworld And yeah todays society does expect woman to look presentable, if you don't want to conform that's fine but don't expect to get any positive attention and be prepared for instances like this

Yup, FYL for looking like a man If you don't even TRY to look like a woman then YDI I have seen some women with mustaches, beards, and unshaven armpits. Pretty disgusting. On the other hand the cashier should have better manners as well.

This is fake, I work at CVS, if I saw a man buying feminine products I wouldn't say anything to him. They probably have it bad enough as it is.

It doesn't even say that it was CVS...the FML clearly states that the OP was at the "STORE"

Clearly you are NOT hot, but she doesn't say what she looks like to give such an impression. She might be a diesel dyke with a flattop or buzzcut. If that's the case, then the clerk was right in assuming she was a dude. YDI though.

She deserves it simply for appearing male? Cool reasoning, bro. Oh, by the way, shut the hell up.

The clerk is a damned idiot. Even if you WERE male, how would it be in the clerk's right position to assume that you didn't know you were buying feminine products? After all, I believe it should be fairly easy to tell whether or not you were purchasing these by looking at the isle you're in, the context of the products, and the design/colors of the products. In other words, he's an idiot for assuming you're an idiot.
