Today, my mum and I were referred to as "ladies". I'm happy for her, since she always complains about looking masculine. However, I would still like to be called a gentleman, seeing as how I am one. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I felt comfortable enough to finally call my stepmom "Mom." She politely asked me not to call her that. FML
Today, I went out with my mom to a restaurant. We were sitting down to eat, and a waitress walks over to our table and asks, "How are you ladies doing tonight?" It really was a nice thing to ask, for my mom. As for me, being a man, not so much. FML
Today, I discovered everyone at work refers to me as 'The Man-Lady'. I work in a supermarket's beauty department. FML
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, one of my dad's work friends came over. As he was leaving, he complimented my dad on having three "strapping young boys." I informed him that I'm a girl, and I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have a lot of hair and a deep voice. I guess my dress didn't give him a clue. FML
Today, I realized that both my husband and son refer to me as "the bitch." FML
Today, my mom started referring to me as "The Bitch". When I asked her why, she said that I have always been a bitch, but I was never old enough for her to actually call me a bitch. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my mother, where the waiter complimented my "wife". I'm not 18, and she's over 40. FML
Today, my dad married his fiancée, who insists I call her "Mom." I'm three years older than her, and went to the same high school. She's taking me shopping next week to buy me "something nice." FML
Today, I decided to go get my hair cut because it was getting a bit long. I told the lady that I wanted it way short and she replied "Why? You will look like a guy sweetie." I am a guy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

chicks dig femmies. Passing for a girl makes you no less a man. Some of my friends are the same and have learned to love it.

I accidentally did the same thing today. Granted I work in a store that mostly women shop at, but I barely glanced up because I worked a double and my mind wasn't working, and said, "Hello ladies." Look up and BAM... 6 foot guy with a 3 foot beard. Definitely not a lady.

As a server I accidentally do that a lot because I walk from behind. Don't take it to heart it could have been a quick error. I'm sure you're still an awesome gentleman!

Hi, this is the OP... I made an account to comment, not sure how "proving myself" goes as I didn't include an email and that's not where I live. I also don't think I spelled "mum" but instead used "mom", but every other word I know I wrote it exactly as written. ANYWAYS explanations: 1. I have long hair for a guy, but medium-short hair for a girl. It barely hits my shoulders (planning to donate it once it gets a good enough length). In any case I don't care about the event too much, I was much more surprised than offended. I am thin, but at the same time I am of course flat chested, somewhat hairy, and don't have hips. Also I was wearing pretty guy-ish clothing (and nothing typically feminine like jewelry, make up, etc.) but I guess I could pass for a no-nonsense gal in the right light. That's why I was surprised, since it never really happened before. 2. This actually happened twice in 20 minutes, which is why I decided to post about it. It was at a restaurant, the woman seating us called us ladies and then I'm not sure why but a man walking by (looked like a manager) started conversation and greeted us as ladies. It was actually funny, and didn't distract from conversation much. In fact that's why I posted it, so everyone could get a laugh :P. Didn't actually expect it to be posted though, so I didn't include an email or anything >.<
