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, 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

Today, while out in public, my stepmom turned and screamed at me for a good while for “walking through a door before an elder.” People stared. FML

Today, my mom yelled at me for going through her closet for some warmer clothes. She had a rant about taking her clothes without her permission, all while wearing a pair of my boots and one of my sweaters. FML

Fuzzy logic

By Lisa - 22/04/2024 23:00 - United States

Today, a person I've never met called me a whore and spat on me. Why? Because I was babysitting for my neighbors and answered the door for two well dressed women passing out religious pamphlets. I politely declined to take any. Apparently being a 15 year-old girl caring for a toddler makes me a sex worker. FML

Today, my ultra-Christian neighbor called the cops on me (again). This time, it was because she could smell "weed" coming from my apartment. I was burning sage. FML

Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML

Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." 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, I woke up to my overly religious grandmother trying to shove salt down my throat yelling "DEMON BE GONE!". Why? I didn't wear the cross neckless she bought me. FML

Today, my crazy neighbor screamed at me from her porch for walking "too close" to her plants. I was on the sidewalk. She sprayed me with her hose anyway. FML

I really don't get this weird kind of sexism regarding clothes. I guess I will read some history about it just now.

Best idea is to ignore her, honestly.

Are you saying you hung round to hear this for ten minutes? Or do you catch the bus near your house?

Ok, wow. Apparently showing the legs or showing the space between the legs is considered vulgar. The space between the legs... This is so ****** up.

Pants reveal the contours of the body, while giant poofy skirts reveal it. Also, pants are men's clothing, used for working, so women wearing them is usurping manish behaviors and appearance, which is against the godly position of women as subservient and docile. In fact, "gentleel" dress for ladies was supposed to show off that they did not do manly, phsyical labor like the lower classes by making it physically impossible to do so. Corsets, hoop skirts, tight little fancy shoes mean you can't bend or do anything, and only a high class idle female could get through life with that.

Tell her it’s ok because it’s Casual Friday, or what you refer to as Good Friday.

The poor guy must be getting a heart attack every time he goes out on the street or turns on the TV. Women in pants everywhere!

Start carrying around one of those tiny vibrators and next time they do that tell them you got them a present and hand it to them.

I agree. Best to ignore the pest. or maybe yell at him/her if you see him/her doing yard work on a Sunday.

Had a man like that yelling on campus my freshman year of college. He told me I shouldn't wear pants, so I started yelling about him wanting me to undress in public. As I am today, I would've actually thrown those pants at him.
