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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was shopping at my workplace, out of uniform, with my husband. A customer recognised me and wanted me to serve him, but I couldn't since we can be fired for doing so while off-duty. He complained to my manager, who wasted no time publicly bitching me out. 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, 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, while shopping, I was grabbed and dragged off to a security room with no warning. Apparently, the way I was dressed and walking was suspicious. FML
Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML
Today, while in a crowded store, someone tore my mask off my face and ran away. Then before I could run after them, I got stopped and screamed at for not wearing a mask. FML
Today, I realized after I had already left my house that my skirt was inside out and backwards. I’d been walking around like that for two hours before a stranger in a supermarket politely told me. The worst part? I still had to finish my grocery shopping. FML
Today, I got yelled at in a grocery store by a customer who recognized me from the pizza place where I work. Apparently, I forgot mushrooms on her pizza earlier this afternoon. I had the day off, but thanks for the verbal lashing, lady. FML
Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Innocent question to the community and OP: do scrubs harbour bacteria? Is it unhygienic to wear clothes that have ben exposed to a hospital environment in a grocery store? Thanks.

I'm sorry, but ew. I never wear scrubs after my shift. I change, and then I wash the scrubs when I get home. Protecting the public also includes not wearing scrubs in public.

How on earth does someone confuse the two?

OP never say they worked in a hospital. For all we know, OP is a receptionist, scribe, medical biller, etc at a doctor's office. (Could be orthopedist, neurologist, anything) - no more bacteria there than at a grocery store. No one ever said anything about surgical scrubs either.

What's wrong with wearing pajamas in public?

Who cares if you go out in your pajamas anyway? If you're just stopping st the store, no need to get all dolled up.

Yeah that would be annoying especially if you just need to run in and out real quick.

Come live here where everyone goes out in their pajamas! FYL though, that would annoy me so much.

i don't believe people in the medical field should be wearing scrubs outside of work.

Why the **** does it matter to that stranger at all?

I can personally say that I have acquired multiple sets of hospital scrubs and I find them extremely comfortable. I wear them around the house as well as pack them on vacations for emergency hospital visits.
