Today, I was in an unfamiliar building on campus and I needed to use the bathroom before class started. I walked in and saw a man at the sink. I said "Oh my god I'm sorry! I thought this was the women's washroom." It was. The very butch looking woman gave me a look of death. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was at the gym, I saw a guy walk into the girls locker room. I was walking nearby so I said, "Hey man, that's the wrong one." Turns out it was just a very masculine-looking woman, with a very masculine haircut. FML
Today, I was at a crowded restaurant and rushed to the bathroom. In my haste, I didn't notice I had walked into the men's room until I was washing my hands and a guy walked in, gave me a puzzled look, and said, "You're brave." FML
Today, I was using a public toilet stall when the lock gave way, and the door swung open halfway. I froze, and the person who was washing his hands at the sinks looked at me in the mirror and awkwardly said, “I see you.” I muttered, “I’m sorry,” as he walked out looking like he'd seen a ghost. FML
Today, a girl entered the public washroom I was washing my hands in. When she saw me, she stopped dead in her tracks. I then saw her go to the door to make sure she was actually in the girl's washroom. FML
Today, I walked into a restroom at a restaurant, took one step inside, and realized it was the staff-only restroom. The manager was inside, staring at me like I was an alien. I just smiled and awkwardly walked out. FML
Today, someone thought it would be funny to switch the signs on the bathroom doors. Fortunately, I knew which was the men's and went on in. The startled old woman inside, however, did not. FML
Today, I just went to the bathroom and someone thought I was a guy. FML
Today, I was using the restroom at a gas station when someone hurriedly knocked on the door. Thinking that it was my sister, I playfully said, "Hold up, hoe!" I opened the door to see a goth woman with an edgy haircut giving me a death stare. FML
Today, at a fancy restaurant, I walked into the restroom. After washing my hands, I looked up and noticed the urinals and the sudden presence of three very confused men. I had walked into the men’s bathroom. I pretended to check my phone like I was lost. FML
Today, I walked into the ladies' bathroom to find my male boss taking a dump with the stall door wide open. FML

That sucks. :P It was just an honest mistake but no one likes it when their gender is assumed wrong.

LOL! This has happened to me before, except in a different situation. It was my first day of middle school and I didn't know where the bathroom was. I went into the womens bathroom, thinking it meant girls... I was washing my hands when a teacher walked in and told me that I needed to leave. O,..,O

I dont understand when some women try so hard to look like men but get pissed off when mistsken for one. FYL OP.

Agreed! She should know that she looks butch....She should be happy that her goal of looking like a man succeeded.

Or maybe she still looks like a woman, but doesn't adhere to arbitrary social constructs. Men's hair grows just as long as women's, but society tells us long hair is womanly. Why? Where does that come from? It's not natural to cut your hair every six weeks, but we still tell men they have to do it.

Just because the OP made a mistake doesn't mean that the other woman necessarily looked like a man. She could have seen her from the back, which would make more sense. I don't look like a man at all, but I've been called sir a few times, and I have to say it's pretty insulting... :

Quite right, rinny. A lot of people... I just don't understand how they could possibly mistake some others that are really obviously of a certain gender. A classmate of mine actually thought a woman IN A DRESS was man. She said "well she looks like a fatty crossdresser." Some "logic" I guess I'll never understand.
