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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

u guys are pretty stupid he's obviously a guy because told us the man said 'Excuse me SIR, that's a ladies blazer.' unless the fml is that she's a girl that got mistaken for a guy.

What girl has the name Fred? Fail.

The reason they thought that is because sometimes, FMLs that include OP being referred to as "sir" are FMLs because the OP is really female.

That doesnt mean it is a man. The manager could have been wrong.

Fashion has no gender! That manager sucks.

This reminds me of back in the 90s when the girls jeans were just horrible and had an awful fit (We apparently hated the female figure back then). I weighed around 120 at the time so I should have had no issues with finding something that looked good. My mom being the clever one she is had me try on some of the guy pants because their popular style had a better construction for a female body. Needless to say I looked great, we got a few pairs, and people kept hounding me about how I managed to find pants that didn't choke the life out of me. Just goes to show even if something is stated as being male/female the designer may have no absolutely no clue what their doing and what the've made could be better suited for the opposite gender.

I'm always extremely afraid of that happening to me. But like some people have said, if it looks good, wear it. I wear guys' clothes all the time. The manager was just stupid.

That sounds like a truly amazing blazer. If you couldn't tell it was made for women then I'm sure no one else will be able to either...

Who cares? If it looks good get it anyway. Just rip out the woman's tag when you get it home.
