Today, as I was walking into CVS, two older men outside said to me "Young lady, please consider us on your way out." Thinking they were hitting on me, I rolled my eyes and said "Screw you." When I walked back outside, I realized they were asking for AIDS donations. FML

Today, I was walking down the street and while stopped at a light, this old man waved at me. Thinking nothing of it, I walked through a parking lot to get to where I was going, where he not only followed me, but mistook me for a prostitute. It was 5pm. FML

Today, I saw an old man who needed help crossing the street. I went over to him and helped him across the street. When he thanked me, I said, "No problem, sir." They responded by hitting me in the happy sacks and screaming that they were a woman. FML

Today, at the supermarket, an old lady asked for directions to the produce aisle. Having read way too many stories lately on this very site about awful elderly folks, I was wary, but helped her out. She gave me an awkward hug in thanks, lifting my wallet in the process, as I later found out. FML

Today, I was helping out at my church. At lunchtime, a really cute guy my age walked over and told me I was pretty. I was flattered, until I turned around and saw his annoyed buddies handing him several dollar bills. FML

One weird technique

By NotYourTracy - This FML is from back in 2018 but it's good stuff

Today, while on the bus, I started a conversation with the person next to me. After a little back and forth, she finally said, "Do you think people will stop talking to me if I say I have AIDS?" FML

Today, at work at a grocery store an old couple came through my checkout lane. As I was putting their bagged groceries in the cart, the old man started feeling me up. FML

Today, I was walking through town when a rough looking woman asked me for a cigarette. I don't smoke but I offered her some apples, and she took two. As I continued on past her, she pegged both of them at me, hitting the back of my head. 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 went to the local pharmacy to buy some condoms. When I went to go purchase them, the elderly lady behind the counter took one look at me and said, "Honey, you're your own birth control." FML

Wow, way to overreact. One thing this site has taught me is a lot of girls think they're getting hit on when they aren't. ******* get over yourself. You probably aren't that pretty.

#29 - I agree. You haven't been in their shoes. I took a class on gender and violence and the professor started the class by positing a scenario - you're walking home from a party, at about 1am, by yourself. He was like, "Guys - what are you thinking about?" and they're like, "man, that party was great, the girl was hot, i'm totally wasted," etc. Then he was like "Girls, what are you thinking about?" and they all said "is the road well lit? do i have pepper spray? is anyone following me?" she could've asked for clarification before being rude, but in her defense, it's not quite the same as if a guy gets hit on by girls. A closer approximation would be if an big old guy hit on YOU. You're not really afraid of a 5-armed girl attacking you, but you might be afraid of a big guy attacking you sexually. that's what girls think about. and they should; 1 in 4 girls get sexually assaulted during their lifetime. anyway, i'm tired of people thinking things are the same for girls as they are for guys, because contrary to what everyone's trying to tell us, THEY'RE DIFFERENT.

#22- The most ignorant post I've read on this site. Please educate yourself on the topic at hand. =X

I agree with #2. I have no idea how you thought that was a come-on. I've heard nasty things said to me while just walking to school! And no matter how vulgar the comment-I ignore it. Way to look like an ass.

I understand why you think they'd be hitting on you but honestly, not giving the time or day to even look and see who or where those men were.....that is being kinda full of yourself and I know you must've felt like shit afterwards, probably stuck with you the whole day. YDI

How does that even begin to sound like a pick up line?

#39, yeah getting hit on is annoying. I got hit on in a ******* hotdog costume. However how the HELL does that sound like a pick up line? And I doubt they didn't have some sort of set up, a jar or SOMETHING that made it clear they were charity workers. I mean she obviously noticed on the way out, she probably just wasn't paying attention on the way in. Automatically thinking they want her makes her an ass.

#22: stfu, you dont realize that people can be born with AIDS and HIV people are RAPED and guys can be raped too. Many things can happen, take the 80s they didnt check if someone had a disease before they took their blood. So a lot of people gave and got blood that had AIDS/HIV so bam they had the disease. So you really need to shut up cause that karma is going to come back on YOU.
