Today, I went into a crowded store and tried out a blazer. I was thinking to myself how hot I looked in it when the manager tapped me on the shoulder and politely said, "Excuse me sir, that's a ladies' blazer." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was stopped by a customer who told me that I looked like a nice woman. I thanked him for the compliment and pointed out that I was a man. With an obviously male name on my name tag. And visible facial hair. FML
Today, I went to a store to buy pants for a new job. A really hot guy helped me get a pair down from a high shelf so I could try them on. He had flirted with me so I hurried in the fitting room so I could go talk to him. Note to self: Check to see if you have pants on after trying on clothes. 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, I went to Macy's to go shopping, I was wearing a shirt and tie and dressed nicely. Customers came up to me with questions, but I just ignored them. Minutes later, thinking I was an employee, the manager came and yelled at me, and threatened to fire me. FML
Today, I thought the cashier said the new blouse I picked out was ugly as she was ringing me up. I'm really self-conscious about my fashion sense, so I snapped and started yelling at her. It wasn't until she was close to tears did I find out she said "lovely" not "ugly". So, that's another store I can't go back to. FML
Today, while shopping, a few giggling girls came up to me and asked why I was wearing a dress in public. Highly confused, I didn't answer. When they walked away laughing, I realized they thought I was a man. I'm a woman. 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 went clothes shopping. I took my little daughter into the dressing room while I tried some clothes on. She somehow managed to open the door while I was changing. A lady outside then bitched me out for "exposing" myself to her kids. FML
Today, someone called out "Ma'am!" while approaching me from behind, but then said "Oops, sir!" when I turned around. I was wearing a corset and miniskirt with leggings. They were correct the first time. FML
Today, I was at a tennis match and it was really hot. I took off my shirt to cool down. A member of the staff then tapped me on the shoulder and told me that my "bare breasts might offend someone." I'm a man. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If it looks good, just wear it.

Agreed. Who cares if it's a "ladies" jacket? If it looks good on you that's all that matters!

... of July is Bastille day, formally called La Fête Nationale (The National Celebration). It commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789.

And here I was just thinking the FML was that the guy was wearing women's clothing. Clearly, it's actually a girl named Fred.

Wow, a lot of you are jerks, didnt you know some people dont even use the same name that goes with their gender? So theres no way of knowing if its a man or a woman. gosh, ive lost faith in the fact that people actually used to have hearts and not be total jerks just because they can, and what would be the fml any way if it was a dude? "ehh i wore a womans jacket today wah wah wah" no sence made.

Yeah, that was my first LOL all night. The Twix slogan, not the story (but the story was all right, too).

Welcome to the world of Cross-Dressing! They used to be called tranvestites, but I think that word is out of style. Despite the previous comments, cross-dressers are not necessarily gay. Don't be a drag, just be a queen! Toodles!

Ah... I love how you try so hard to be one of the top comments, and try to make a funny comment. I bet you spend over 3 hours a day on this site/app, ******* sook.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if some clothing are made for a guy or girl. I learned that the buttons on a shirt lineup differently. Look closely, guy's buttons are sown on the right and girl's buttons are sown on the left. (:

I never knew that! cool

But did you know that you were a dumbass?
Ugi 27
Cunningly designed so that if you are facing each other it's easier to undo each other's clothing because the buttons are where you expect them!
VeganVampyre 27
Oh my gods! You can sow buttons!? Do they grow into button bushes? Or button flowers?

I think it's at least as much about women's blazers having room for boobs while men's blazers don't. If it's a little loose in the chest area, then you are not endowed enough to wear that blazer.

On pants the zippers are generally opposite as well.

47- Oh my gods! You can start a sentence with "or" now? Without even using a comma? I myself am really shocked. While you're growing button seeds and trees, you're also forgetting commas when you use the word "or"!

Actually ladies buttons were placed on that side of the clothing so heir servants could more easily dress and undress them. It's confusing though when you get a pair of expensive jeans and the zipper is on the other side though. It's one of those "wait what?" moments.

103- There is not supposed to be a comma there, but nice try. That comment was, first of all, not meant to be a "proper", complete sentence, but rather dialogue, like you'd find in a book. Learn to read a little more. Second of all, it was a joke that was never meant to be mean or mocking, only to point out the difference between "sow" and "sew." I just thought it would be more fun than seeing someone else say, "OMG it's sew, not sow! Learn to spell!"
