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

Well, if the woman did in fact look butch, I don't think this is a YDI situation. If you're a woman trying to look like a man, and someone mistakes you for one, there's no need to give "the death stare." However, since she did give a death stare, I think the OP is trying to cover her own ass by calling her butch. I can't decide on this one. Next time check for urinals, you'll be okay.

You have a good point, actually! It's funny, I see a lot of people saying "well, they DID look very butch/femme" to save themselves, when I see the same person and think "Uh... not really.." OP could definitely be doing the same. OR... the woman wasn't always a woman, so "she" got pissed off when the OP thought "she" was a man because "she" was trying so hard NOT to be one.

You did nothing wrong... I think its dumb when butchy looking women get pissed when people mistake them for men... I mean, you are in control of 90% of your appearance, especially if you're a woman (you have the assistance of make-up, after all). So here's a thought... if you don't want people to mistake you for a man, don't look like one!! lol

Let me get this straight. So you're saying that you think a woman should care about what others think they look like. Actually, what's your idea of the look of a woman? They can't cut their hair a little short or build some muscle to be strong? Should they put on make-up and try hard to have a womanly figure because one or two people make the comment that they look bad? Besides, the OP probably saw the woman from behind or from the side while she was bent over at the sink.

It's not your fault ugly people exist. Butch women are absolutely hideous.

62, many men like butchy women. A lot of butchy women are dominatrix. Many men like dominatrix women.

Wouldn't the first hint be the lack of urinals?

oh look, i'm a butch woman, and i'm not trying to look like or be like a man, i'm just comfortable with who and how i am. and i'm not hideous either, because i usually have a beautiful woman or two seeking my attentions...i've probably slept with more beautiful women than #62 has met. just because we are not your idea of the perfect lay, doesn't mean we are not beautiful. and, sometimes, when you've already had to address your gender a dozen or more times that day in the most annoying and invasive and sometimes downright scariest of ways, and all you want to do is have a leak, yeah, it's a drag.
