Today, at my work, I was ringing though a kid's purchase. I try to be friendly with the kids and when he handed me his cash I said "Thank you, sir!" in a playful manner. He then turns to his mom and says "Mom, why does everyone think I am a boy?". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at my job as a cashier, a man and his 3-year old son got in line. The father said, "Give this to the pretty lady," looking at me. The kid looks at me, looks at his dad, and walks over to the next cashier. 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 at work handling the cash register. It wasn't working correctly, so I apologized to the woman I was waiting on for the delay and explained, "The cash register's being a little retarded today." Then I noticed her clearly "special" adult son standing behind her. FML
Today, I was ringing a lady up at the register. I noticed her son was doing the peepee dance, so I rushed the payment process up and handed her the receipt. The little boy said "Mommy" and the mom looked down, then back up at me saying, "Your problem now" and walked out. The boy had pissed on the floor. FML
Today, my 17-year-old employee accidentally called me "Dad". We all got a good laugh from it and went on with our days. Later, after getting her some coins for her cash drawer, she playfully said, "Thanks, Daddy." The customer she was serving? My wife. FML
Today, while cashiering, I rang out a father and his son who looked about eight years-old. The dad jokingly told his son that I was a 10/10 in looks. The son then looked at me for a few seconds and said, "No, probably more like a seven." Thanks a lot. FML
Today, a little girl came up to me and asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" I said, "I'm a girl of course!" She walked away, looking dazed and saying, "Whoa." FML
Today, I took my 4 year-old son to the bank with me. He asked why we were going, and I explained that I had a couple of checks that they would turn into money. When we got in line, he loudly exclaimed, "Mommy has checks for money!" Except "checks" sounded almost exactly like "sex." FML
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 6 year-old told me that he was stealing the fan I just bought. I told him he could have it for $25. He said, "What, you think I’m made of money?" My response was, "Well, you think I’m made of money." He replied, "Isn’t that what MOM stands for?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

WTF is wrong with idiots to say something like that?? So if the girl is a bit of a tomboy or the boy has a less burly appearance the parents are bad?? As in, you'd find it better if they lived like in the 50's, forcing the girls to have long hair "because you won't be a true female if we let you cut your hair, now... go wash the dishes and learn to clean the house and serve your man" and that sort of crap? For all we know, maybe the girl liked having short hair and the parents raised her in an open and intelligent setting without the blatant sexism and all, and so she doesn't knows why she's sometimes mistaken for a boy. If the lack of blatant gender-stereotypes equals bad parenting for you, I hope you don't plan to breed!!

It should be the kid's FML lol. "Today, some cashier bitch thought I was a boy. And knowing this, they still referred to me as "he" 5 times in their last FML. FML

Awh, it doesn't matter. From when I was 7 to 10, I was a "7 year old boy". I'm a 15 year old girl. Doesn't matter OP, kid'll get over it when she grows her hair out.

One of my friends got mistaken for a girl when he was a kid He still is being mistaken for a girl today (He is gay and effeminate)

A young girl with short hair can look much like a boy, but doesn't mean she's going to be 'butch' in ten years.

Ha ha, I work in a nursing home, and something similar happened to me. Except it was really creepy. I was delivering some food to one of the nurses' stations, and I walked by an old man being pushed in a wheel chair. He looked at me, and then he looked up at the person pushing him and said "She's pretty!" I'm a guy. FML XD
