Today, I was getting out of my car, when my new neighbor asked if I'd help him unhitch a trailer. On my way over, he said, "Oh never mind, I thought you were a boy." I am a boy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 dropping my new boyfriend off at his house. I'd never been there before, so he was giving me directions as I drove. We passed a small trailer home on the right. Without thinking, I said, "I'm so glad I don't live in a house like that." My boyfriend told me to turn right. FML
Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML
Today, I saw an old man who needed help crossing the street. I went over to him and helped him across the street. When he thanked me, I said, "No problem, sir." They responded by hitting me in the happy sacks and screaming that they were a woman. FML
Today, I was in a hot tub at a public sauna. After chatting with a friendly couple, I decided to go get some lunch. I was halfway out of the water when the man started laughing and said he'd thought I was a woman. I am. FML
Today, I just went to the bathroom and someone thought I was a guy. FML
Today, I was out walking my dog, when a lady called out to me asking, “Is that a boy or a girl?” Assuming she meant the dog, I told her that he was a boy. When I turned away, I heard her say to her kid, “I was talking about the person walking the dog, but whatever,” then audibly laughing. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he'd help me shave my mustache. I'm a girl. FML
Today, I was working in the yard and took off my shirt. My neighbor yelled, "Nice tits!" I'm a dude. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's alright OP! Just think about it this way, now you don't have to help or do anything strenuous!! :)
freshko21 6
So you're ok with Oap looking like a girl and acting like one too? Strange advice...
ucoolgirl31 20
That's very sexist. I was just looking on the positive side.
lilledun 11
Hey OP, don't feel ashamed, just think of the girls your neighbour must hook with for having such an idea about girly features?
fareith 15
Or he could act like a man, flex his muscles, and lift the trailer off the hitch.
soccerstar1996 18
How much do you want to bet that the neighbor was a gun slingin' ex marine whereas OP is a blonde dude with a JB haircut?
clever_name_here 7
Probably more than a JB haircut. Maybe more like the sprite from Strangled Red (only people who read pokemon creepypastas might get the reference)

So.. Why can't girls lift things? I think the real FML here is having to live next door to this sexist pig.

114 - Girls are genetically weaker than men. This is simply due to genetic makeup. Our testosterone levels help us to build muscles, while women do not have the same level of testosterone. I'm not bashing women, I'm just pointing out that you have no reason to accuse the man of sexism. Also, it is a traditional sign of respect to women.
sexyboi1985 27
Oh boy !
iazy9 14
Oh boy? This is nothing. FML = **** my life. Being mistaken for a girl is not "life ******" worthy. Damn, the term FML is so mis-used...

81- FML is supposed to be fairly light hearted and somewhat humorous. The site is to read about minor misfortunes or witty anecdotes, not about true tragedies. If you want to read about lives getting actually ruined, there are plenty of other websites to check out.

Moobs much.

Yes, medusa was so pretty that people couldn't handle it and turned to stone!
Donat96 20
Yep. She could make any man hard.
Mossears133 15
Technically, she WAS so pretty that Athena got jealous and turned her into a monster.........just saying
rockfreak333 7
Aaaaand technically, medusa never existed....
flockz 20
tell that to all the Greek statues of naked men.
dancinwookie 21
#40- And, then a realist came and slaughtered all the pretty unicorns...
Enslaved 38
Medusa was so beautiful that Poseidon raped her. Athena was upset that this act took place in her temple and blamed Medusa, who was the victim (Not uncommon now a days). Her beauty was her curse so she was cursed furthermore. Also when Perseus beheaded Medusa, her blood mixed with the ocean bore the winged horses Pegasus and Chrysaor (Poseidon was their father) ***Gotta love the History Channel.
Alihb 16
I think it was an affair not a rape.
Enslaved 38
Nope. Medusa was a faithful priestess to Athena and swore her chastity, only to be victimized and banished. Remember-- Athena is the Goddess of War. (She was one of the guys!) Btw I didn't thumb you down (I never do) (:
Catkam623 27
I've heard the story as that Poseidon had an affair not rape and I've heard that several times.
PrincessPesa 20
I hate run on sentences. And I'm not sorry.
TheDrifter 24
In ancient Greek the words are the same, it's a contextual difference that let's you know which they mean. Though, as a chaste priestess, an affair would be considered non consensual by her patron deity, they're not known for being big in sharing.
daminantion 14
I like how Greek gods are fake and a 'realist' Christian can ruin the story. Lol @ the Bible for being the same storytelling farce.
evilplatypus 39
83 - Modern versions often make it seem consensual so it isn't so upsetting. The original sources almost unanimously agree Medusa had no choice in the matter.
jrod9327 17
I was going to actually say time for a haircut, then I saw your name. Spot on, spot on. Regardless of gender, trailers aren't difficult to unhitch.
ShawnBushOG 9
it could be a gooseneck. maybe he was just tired and could use some help?
spekledworf 18
I still don't understand what gender has to do with it. When I was 11 I was hitching and unhitching the trailer. Any moron can do it
MeloTooNice7 7
Maybe it's time for a haircut? Other than that I don't know what could have made him change his mind about what gender you are.
CharresBarkrey 16
Haha, check out OP's name
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Lack of facial hair, perhaps, or his physique. Some people can be quite assuming.
freshko21 6
5 - That's exactly what I said and yet I was thumbed down. What a bunch of sensitive girls... Go Ahead, Thumb Me Down! trollollollol
TheDrifter 24
I've noticed large numbers of teen boys wearing girls skinny legged pants and v necks, couple that with a Beiber cut and most older folk would miss the fashion and just see either a girl or a transvestite. I made that mistake a number of times before my kids informed me that it was current fashion.
oj101 33
Justin Beiber, is that you?
SaxophoneHero 12
No, it's Patrick
friedpwnadge 25
Use it to your advantage. Pick up guys at gay bars and bring them home until you have amassed a sassy collection.
friedpwnadge 25
Wait I made a typo. Sentence accuracy nazis attack!
Futacy 30
friedpwnadge, are you like... retarded?

People can be annoyingly presumptuous sometimes. Don't take it to heart, as cliche as it sounds, it's what's inside that counts.
Flowtastic 16
Is it presumptuous to say people are annoyingly presumptuous? My brain just hurt trying to figure it out
BellaBelle_fml 23
Or, in OP's case, it's what is outside that counts.
Demonfish 14
Don't worry OP, I've been mistaken for a girl before because of my long hair as well, though that was before I actually started getting facial hair :P Anyway, Internet hi five! For having long hair in common! Yay!
DracoSpirita 21
I have extremely short hair for a girl and I am constantly being mistaken for a boy, despite the fact that I have boobs and I wear makeup. I empathize with the both of you.
calipilot227 16
Long hair, don't care.
Adhdkid107 9
Man boobs?
michaelm1290 23
If he thought he had boobs (man boobs in this case) and was a girl, then I don't think he would have called OP over considering he was seeking a male.
