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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, while out in public, my stepmom turned and screamed at me for a good while for “walking through a door before an elder.” People stared. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for going through her closet for some warmer clothes. She had a rant about taking her clothes without her permission, all while wearing a pair of my boots and one of my sweaters. FML
Today, a person I've never met called me a whore and spat on me. Why? Because I was babysitting for my neighbors and answered the door for two well dressed women passing out religious pamphlets. I politely declined to take any. Apparently being a 15 year-old girl caring for a toddler makes me a sex worker. FML
Today, my ultra-Christian neighbor called the cops on me (again). This time, it was because she could smell "weed" coming from my apartment. I was burning sage. FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." 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, I woke up to my overly religious grandmother trying to shove salt down my throat yelling "DEMON BE GONE!". Why? I didn't wear the cross neckless she bought me. FML
Today, my crazy neighbor screamed at me from her porch for walking "too close" to her plants. I was on the sidewalk. She sprayed me with her hose anyway. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I really don't get this weird kind of sexism regarding clothes. I guess I will read some history about it just now.

Best idea is to ignore her, honestly.

What else are you suppose to wear?
Yudith 28
Unless she was riding a bicycle, a dress, or a blouse and a skirt that hides her legs, leather boots, long socks, gloves and a hat that stays on her hairbun with the help of a hatpin.

...and then use the hatpin to poke them in the eye so they don't have to see you wearing pants next time...

if that's their reaction to full jeans, mini skirts, shorts and swimwear might give them a heart attack, God forbid you show a little ankle one of these days.

You would've thought jeans would we a relatively safe choice - you don't show much skin with them....
Rabite 28
Yeah but it's because of the space between the legs and showing that you have legs.
ARISKomuniszt 24
Yeah but if this neighbour thought she had no legs, they seem like they'd accuse her of witchcraft or summat

That’s how I feel every time I can’t w at shorts to work as a guy. If women get to wear pants we get to wear shorts. Luckily my new job lets you wear vacation casual in the summer.

Wtf dude? Are you seriously comparing deeply sexist shit which was covered by laws way into the 20th century to you not being able to wear shorts at your work?

Time to get a 666 tattoo (preferably a non permanent one) and do your best imitation of a demon every time you see your neighbour.

I bet you were also wearing SHOES as you ABANDONED YOUR KITCHEN. Did you wear makeup like some kind of hussy, or did you leave the house with a bare face like some kind of hussy?

Some people have issues you can wear whatever you want anytime you want because she don’t wear it she feels you not allowed to she must thinks you are a child or even worse her child

Next time you see her make sure you're wearing extra slutty lingerie. Or dress up like a construction worker clad with fake mustache/beard.

Was he yelling at you for inappropriately wearing jeans, or the fact you were topless? That is the REAL question.
