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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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
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, 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, while in the store with my kids, they wanted to buy tampons because I am "getting cranky, and it should be that time of the month." 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 was shopping at a supermarket. As I was about to pay for my items, I noticed the cashier was very cute. Trying to be nice, I smiled. She smiled back and said, "Hello, how are you?" Instead of saying, "I'm good" or, "I'm okay", I said, "I'm gay". FML
Today, I went to a corner store to restock my chocolate stash. A guy from work walked in to see me and the cashier arguing about the amount of candy I was trying to buy with a jar of pennies. He took one look at me and said, "That time of the month, eh?" FML
Today, I went to the store with my girlfriend. She needed to use the bathroom so I started looking at the books. It wasn't until the manager shot me a weird look that I realized I'd wandered down too far and was looking at bridal magazines, holding tampons, dog treats, and hair spray. FML
Today, I went to a store to buy a man's thong because my girlfriend wanted me to. When I went in I also grabbed some lingerie for her. Thinking I was being clever I wrapped it up in a t-shirt so no one would notice and went to checkout. The cashier then called for a price check on the thong. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why even comment on it at all? That's just awkward.

Maybe he was trying to make it less awkward?

maybe it's just me, but i find it weird when store cashiers try to start conversation in general. i just want to pay for my stuff and leave.

Maybe he thought you were a lesbian and you were just looking too good to be on your period now. That's the best I can do for ya.

Being in Canada, you ought to strike up a conversation about hockey. Start off talking about the local Senators or Maple Leafs, but then ask him if he's into the Red Wings.

Why should OP be dishonest about herself because of HIS mistake?

If you're really that androgynous, I'm not sure why you're surprised. Why do random people feel the need to comment on this kind of shit? Nonsensical.

You should've said "No, but they're also great for nosebleeds.". Then proceeding to deploy one in your nose. I'm of course making an assumption about the kind of product though.

You could cram a pad in there too, it'd just be highly uncomfortable/amusing.

You tell me? :P

78, you know, I often wonder about that. I heard during fight training (ex: UFC) they are advised to reframe from sex. Does climaxing make one lose testosterone? I'm off to do research. (:

It's Pat ;)

A lot of people say, "What's that?" It's Pat! A lot of people ask, "Who's he? Or she?" A ma'am or a sir, accept him or her or whatever it might be. It's time for androgyny. Here comes Pat! For those who missed the reference lol SNL

I love the Pat skits from SNL! Doesn't matter that I know Julia Sweeney (a female) plays the character. (:

I think it's so tacky when people make comments about things I buy, especially condoms, even though I'm in my mid twenties I think it's awkward and in bad taste when the cashier makes a comment like, "buying these is the guys job," or "*wink* magnums, lucky you!" I've had both of these said to me and I hate it! F their L for not having proper social graces.
