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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while I was waiting at the bus stop, a car that looked like my mom's pulled up. Thinking it was actually her, I walked up and jokingly asked what she was into. The guy inside now thinks that I'm a prostitute. FML
Today, I was walking home when an old guy came up to me asking for directions. After I pointed him in the right direction, he held my hand, stroked my face then pushed me into a bush. FML
Today, I was walking on a main street downtown. Suddenly, I felt someone slap my butt. I turned around, expecting to be my girlfriend who was to meet me there and almost gave an old homeless man a kiss on the cheek. FML
Today, I was walking home from the gym. An old man in his car rolled down the window and drove slowly next to me. He pulled out a camera, took a picture of me and said, "It's gonna be a fun night!" and then drove off. FML
Today, an old man walked up to me, said, "Hey missy, you wanna see an antique?" and winked. FML
Today, I was having a rough day and decided to go out for a walk at 1 a.m. to clear my head. I ended up being driven home by two cops, who thought I was prostituting myself at the truck stop. When we arrived, they had a nice conversation with my parents. FML
Today, while driving to work, I stopped to let an old man cross the street. The driver behind me honked their horn, so I drove slow to piss them off. A few turns later, I pulled into the car park and noticed the other driver following me. She works in the office next to mine. We met the other day. FML
Today, I was getting catcalled downtown by a guy I've never seen before. Then he told me he knows where I live, and accurately described my apartment while he followed me for 2 blocks. FML
Today, while walking down the street I thought it would be funny to moon a crowd of old people taking a photo, in a few seconds a couple of them started pointing in my direction... Turns out they were pointing at the car that ran me over shortly after. FML
Today, I was mistaken for a prostitute. Twice. While in my work uniform. FML

Gross. FYL. And you know what, I bet half of the chicks telling her to stop dressing like a **** wear shorts and tanktops while outside on hot days. Does that mean you look like a prostitute? **** no. It's unfortunate this had to happen to her.

Eww, I feel your pain. Unfortunately, I have had a similar thing happen to me and it is really gross. And to all you idiots saying stop dressing like a ****: I was wearing a long skirt and a white tank top (not low cut) when it happened to me, so clothes oftentimes aren't even the issue - it is the pervy old men. I'm sorry, but I am not going to walk around in an over sized turtleneck and baggy sweatpants in 80+ degree weather. And I shouldn't have to.

YDI for being out of the kitchen. But really, don't dress like a ***** next time.

You should have told him that you were a cop and then laugh as you watched him haul ass.

First off, I don't get why you displayed the time. I mean just by that it tells me that you know something about the time prostitutes are suppose to operate. With that said, I think the old man was onto something.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows that prostitutes usually come out at night, genius. What's wrong with knowing when prostitutes operate anyway? It doesn't mean you know from experience. THINK for one second.

FYL because I assume you're a woman.

To everyone asking what she was wearing- Probably shorts or a skirt and a tank-top. It's summer. It's what everyone wears when it's hot out unless they're Amish or something. This is sexism at its worst. A creepy asshole propositions her and the majority comes up for reasons why it's her fault. If someone tried to mug her, would you say, "It's your fault for having money and a cell phone"? I don't think so.

yea, it's your fault if you get mugged for money and cell walking in the wrong neighbourhood. Also, it sounds like the man asked and left, fair deal. No harm in asking. She deserved it, but it's not that bad

Dressing like a **** and having a cell phone are two completely unrelated things... #50, please think before you post. This has nothing to do with sexism. *facepalm*

The sexist part is how everyone assumes she was dressing sluttily.
