I once had someone at Disney tell me they had to go to the bathroom and get kind of snooty with me for not telling her where the bathroom was immediately until I said I didn't know where it was, but I thought my husband said he found one over in a direction that I gestured in. At least she had the decency to look mortified and that she thought I worked there.
In this specific place in the park, employees wore knaki long shorts, khaki button up shirts (think Crocodile Hunter), and a khaki bush hat all with blue and orange accents.
I was wearing jean daisy dukes, a black tank top, a black ball cap and a large 'Just Married' pin. It was not in any way a similar uniform.

I made that mistake many times as a kid...
My school uniform was Kaki pants and your choice of Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Pink or Black polo. Boy wouldn't you know it, I'd inadvertently match my school uniform with the store I was going to half the time (I only ever wore blue, red, and black, so it wasn't hard to do)
Walking into Best Buy in a blue polo and kaki pants is also a dangerous combo -- though you don't get asked if you need help by the employees anymore, so that's a plus.
I had so many people ask me for help getting stuff for them. I always helped, but it was just funny to me.

Think I can beat this one...
I used to work for a PI (yes, that's a Private Investigator) and despite the changes in divorce laws around the country, we often were paid to spy on cheating spouses. This was in the mid-90's.
One time I was following a two-timing husband around, and he went to the mall. I followed. He went to Victoria's Secret. I followed him there too. This was in December, and the store was pretty busy. Trying to look inconspicuous I aimlessly browsed bras and garters or whatever while keeping an eye on the guy, who was more or less doing the same. Suddenly he looked up, walked up to me and asked me a question about sizes. This was when I realized I was wearing a black pant suit and sweater, which was somewhat similar to what employees there wore!
I helped him with his size-issue, which helped me verify it was NOT the wife he was buying a present for despite that being what he claimed...
Yes, it went in my report. My boss laughed pretty hard at that one.
