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, I was shopping at my workplace, out of uniform, with my husband. A customer recognised me and wanted me to serve him, but I couldn't since we can be fired for doing so while off-duty. He complained to my manager, who wasted no time publicly bitching me out. 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, 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

Today, while shopping, I was grabbed and dragged off to a security room with no warning. Apparently, the way I was dressed and walking was suspicious. 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 was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Today, while in a crowded store, someone tore my mask off my face and ran away. Then before I could run after them, I got stopped and screamed at for not wearing a mask. FML

Today, I got yelled at in a grocery store by a customer who recognized me from the pizza place where I work. Apparently, I forgot mushrooms on her pizza earlier this afternoon. I had the day off, but thanks for the verbal lashing, lady. FML

Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML

Today, I was shopping at a store from which I had previously bought a shirt. The clerk accused me of trying to steal my own shirt and called security. They examined it and argued with me for so long I was late to work. FML

Innocent question to the community and OP: do scrubs harbour bacteria? Is it unhygienic to wear clothes that have ben exposed to a hospital environment in a grocery store? Thanks.

I understand you are used to wearing scrubs, but if you are going into a store where they sell anything that is edible, you should have changed. Just like washing your hands, you need to start changing before you return home and wash your scrubs daily.

"Shaddup, already! I'm a nurse, and I'm wearing scrubs, ya jackass! Look it up!" Now, was that so hard?

So you are walking into the next grocery store, still wearing your scrubs? And maybe you are even going to wear the very same scrubs the next day? Ever heard of hygiene? I am a nurse and I could expect an adhortatory letter in case I would do this and rightfully so. You deserve way more than a YDI.

As far as I know, aren't you supposed to leave those at the hospital or at least get changed before you leave?

Not all nurses work in hospitals or with diseases or anything contagious or unhygienic...

He probably looked like more of an idiot than you, for not knowing the difference between scrubs and pajamas. PS as a person who spends a lot of time in the hospital; thanks for all you do OP! :)

My friends mom is a nurse and when my friend is lazy she steals her moms scrubs and wears them to school. She has been yelled at while wearing them because pajamas aren't allowed. Some people just don't understand the difference.
