Today, I was stopped in the grocery store by a stranger, who berated me, quite loudly, for going out in public in my pajamas. I had just gotten off work and was wearing scrubs. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was shopping at my workplace, out of uniform, with my husband. A customer recognised me and wanted me to serve him, but I couldn't since we can be fired for doing so while off-duty. He complained to my manager, who wasted no time publicly bitching me out. FML
Today, I went to my retail job to buy some clothing. As soon as I walked through the doors, my manager yelled at me for not being in appropriate work clothes. I tried to explain that I was off the clock but he was having none of it. I got written up. FML
Today, my insanely religious 60-year-old neighbor screamed at me when I left my home to go to work. I was wearing jeans and that’s apparently improper for a female adult. FML
Today, while shopping, I was grabbed and dragged off to a security room with no warning. Apparently, the way I was dressed and walking was suspicious. 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 grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML
Today, while in a crowded store, someone tore my mask off my face and ran away. Then before I could run after them, I got stopped and screamed at for not wearing a mask. FML
Today, I realized after I had already left my house that my skirt was inside out and backwards. I’d been walking around like that for two hours before a stranger in a supermarket politely told me. The worst part? I still had to finish my grocery shopping. FML
Today, I got yelled at in a grocery store by a customer who recognized me from the pizza place where I work. Apparently, I forgot mushrooms on her pizza earlier this afternoon. I had the day off, but thanks for the verbal lashing, lady. FML
Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Innocent question to the community and OP: do scrubs harbour bacteria? Is it unhygienic to wear clothes that have ben exposed to a hospital environment in a grocery store? Thanks.

Who cares either way! It's your life, people shouldn't have a say in what you wear. (Unless you chose to wear nothing, then it might be a problem) but still, they should have kept their mouth shut.

What the f*** did you do in a grocery store with scrubs on???

Probably shopped for groceries.

I hope that bacteria appreciate the little discover tour outside the hospital.

People don't care how they talk to others now a days. I would have just smiled and asked the stranger are you really that dumb or just to blind to know the difference.

You wore your scrubs after your shift? Although it is a hassle to get changed after a 12.5 hour shift I still think we should. I get annoyed when I see hospital staff wearing uniforms outside when their shift has finished.

Seriously? Why does it matter to you? I wear mine before AND after work because I don't have time to change between class and my shift. I can guarantee you DONT know it's a hassle if you're complaining about us wearing scrubs to places. Unless you're actively touching my scrubs while I'm shopping, you probably won't catch anything. Mind your own business and don't get put out by what other people wear. Thanks.

Not trying to be funny but I work as a nurse at a hospital, so I do know that it is a hassle sometimes but I respect the fact that we should change back into our own clothes after working. I don't want to spread anything I might have come into contact with with others outside the hospital.

And who says that OP works in a hospital? There are any offices and clinics that also wear scrubs, you know. Even the people that don't get into any contact with the patients are still required to wear scrubs. OP didn't specify where she works, so you can't say that. You don't know exactly where OP works. You're jumping to conclusions just like the idiot in the grocery store did (I am not calling you an idiot by the way, by no means).

I would have laughed in his face and told him to mind his own business.

I hope you later told that you were a docter and could save the life of one of his loved ones

Scrubs are not public attire. Nobody wants to picj out oranges from a person who was just around a bunch of disease and death. Be more sanitary.

OP never say they worked in a hospital. For all we know, OP is a receptionist, scribe, medical biller, etc at a doctor's office, like neurologist, orthopedist, etc. No diseases or death there.

Lunch ladies wear scrubs also.
