Today, I was in a bathroom stall and I accidentally dropped my new tampon on the ground. Just as I was about to reach for it, I heard a voice on the other side of the stall say, "Oh great, I needed that" and then a hand reached under my stall and grabbed it. It was my last one. FML

Today, I was changing my tampon in a public bathroom. As I was about to put the tampon into the sanitary bin, I dropped it and it rolled under the stall next to mine. It was occupied. FML
Today, I was in a public restroom when someone took the toilet next to mine. Moments later, a used tampon rolls into my cubicle followed by an "Oops!" A creeping hand then promptly reached under to retrieve it. Both her hand and the tampon touched my bare toes. FML
Today, I went to use the public restroom. As I saw the toilet paper was out, I could see there was some hanging down from the other stall. As I went to grab it, I felt a hand grab mine and a voice ask seductively, "What were you reaching for?" FML
Today, I accidentally dropped a whole roll of toilet paper into the toilet. It was my last roll. FML
Today, while using the restroom at McDonald's, a hand reached under my stall and took the remaining toilet paper. FML
Today, I was changing my tampon in a public toilet. When I threw away the used one and opened a new one, it turned out that it had no thread on it! I took another one out. Again, defective! It was the last one I had with me, and it was the second day of my period. FML
Today, someone at work put their used, bloodied tampon applicator back in its wrapper, and into the free tampon bin for some sucker to grab. That sucker was me. FML
Today, I was on the toilet at work. After a very loud and very smelly session, I waited until the other stall had been vacated to keep my anonymity. As I leant forward for some toilet roll, my ID fell out of my pocket and into the next stall. When I came out, it was face up near the sink. FML
Today, I used the bathroom that the high school shares with elementary kids. As I was pulling my pants down, my phone fell out of my pocket into the other stall. As I was reaching for it, the little girl in the other stall took it and ran away. FML
Today, while working in a dark nightclub, I dropped a red charger. Retracing my steps, I found it, or so I thought until I picked up a used tampon. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Times like this make me glad I have a penis :)

Yeah, you just have to deal with embarrassing erections in public or other awkward situations, and getting kicked/hit in the balls either by accident or by someone who's pissed off at you, which I hear is quite painful. Think I'll stick with option 3- no penis OR period, best of both worlds :P
Jac_d_ipper 10
#32 your profile pic looks like you already are on your option 3..
adam3650 12
Also you don't have to deal with people trying to grab it under bathroom stalls. Unless you're into that sort of thing....
ballpython 15
#32 And you clearly contribute to what is wrong with society these days. Thanks for making what little good is left in the world seem more valuable. Without people like yourself I would let the good deeds i see slip by without having to give them a second thought. Thank you. (The preceding is loaded with sarcasm for those of you who can't tell)

You don't need to have a penis for it to hurt getting hit in the crotch you my dear number 32 have never been **** punched
spazz666 18
32; no period or penis? Have fun with the baby!
Genociiide 15
Actually some birth control makes it so you don't have periods.
doodlecloud 26
What 103 said. But also, not everyone actually wants to have kids! And of course some people just adopt or use a surrogate.
Coolada 15
I assume all of you who commented "it hurts for anyone to get kicked in the crotch" are girls. **** you. You seem like the people who would do that to your boyfriends for some petty shit. Nut pain is quite literally one of the worst things you could experience.
Mossears133 15
32- No period either? Unless you're permanently pregnant, you must not have s ****** along with your no penis (most, if not all, birth controls only get rid of the blood, not the cramps, which is still part of the period experience). So, no penis + no ****** = no sexy time. Have fun with that.
doodlecloud 26
139...what? I can't speak for everyone but my birth control = no periods and no cramps. Obviously it won't be the same for everyone...but I'm not sure it's physically possibile to have cramps and other 'parts of the period experience' without having the blood bit too?
Sputnikspak 13
Yeah, I'm on depo now, haven't had more than the occasional period since I was 18, because I used to bleed like crazy (I have endometriosis). I get occasional 'phantom cramps' but I barely even keep stuff in the house anymore. I have like two pads and two tampons in case someone else needs them.
skitzymew 19
The whole point of birth control, for some women, is to get rid of cramps. Some just get lucky and don't have the period either!

What a weirdo. Who does that?
VeganVampyre 26
That's not just weird, it's rude. You don't steal something that someone just dropped!

lady gaga probaly grabs it for a new dress
TourettesGuyFTW 25
^ Tampons...wrapped in bacon, probably. Eugh.
RedPillSucks 31
The womens bathroom floor must be considerably cleaner than the mens. I wouldn't pick up a hooker that fell on the floor there.
j_cat187 19
Surprisingly, the door handle is dirtier than the men's bathroom floor.
skyttlz 32
Oh no. The girls bathrooms are dirty as heck.

You know you're in a spot of trouble when you have to resort to stealing feminine hygiene products from someone.

If I was a girl I would of slapped her hand and be like mine bitch!!
Brice28_fml 10
Thank goodness you're not.
thedictator_fml 12
oh dammmmmnnnnn...being a girl really has few perks...if even any at all...but just say: "hey excuse me, thats mine, i need it myself"...things like that happen, i bet the person would've understood...but im sorry for u OP
LittlestPrincess 21
I think that if I were OP, I would be too shocked to say anything!
VeganVampyre 26
I doubt that would have worked, actually. It should be pretty obvious that OP needed it herself, otherwise she wouldn't have had it out. But the other girl reached over into OP's stall to grab it (and wtf, who does that?!) which makes me think she wouldn't care at all if OP told her she needed it herself.
AngelSpit 18
I can name two perks right off the bat: boobies
cmyk 19
I'd step hard on the bitch's hand.
jeepers_1 21
Boobs may be exciting to you guys, (and yes some women) but to most of us they are really more of an inconvenience, and after you've had them for a while they aren't that excuting
jeepers_1 21
Exciting*
RedPillSucks 31
Silly rabbit. The excitement comes in showing them off to that special someone.
Mossears133 15
84- Agreed, they make lying flat on your belly a real pain in the ass (or rather, a pain in the ****)!
gatorgurl2996 6
I'd rather be a girl than a guy any day
gatorgurl2996 6
#5 why so sexist in the first few sentences?! Being a woman has a lot of perks
MrTaeKwonDo 6
#84 you obviously either have small boobs or aren't taking advantage of having boobs.
RodzillaX 30
What the actual ****. I'm going to go with she was using shock value to her advantage. Because it definitely seems like she caught you off guard.
imyy 20
What the theoretical ****. I'm going to go with she assumed it had been there a while and she just noticed it - if she saw it drop, and then took it without asking, she's a total asshole.
holagranola 15
Please tell me the tampon was still in the wrapper
sux4u121 10
I pictured that it wasn't wrapped, but it seems much more likely and less disgusting, I'm going to assume it was wrapped.
bamagrl410 31
I'm fairly certain it had to be. I don't know anyone who would ever pick up an opened tampon off the ground to use, even if it had only fallen briefly. Especially if it was in a public bathroom! Ew.
MrClean17 15
Well at least you made someone's day, right?
chuka81 27
If I were in your shoes, there would be blood.
Ladisa 28
#10, I guess in this case there already was blood.

*rimshot*
SiriusBlack97 17
without that tampon, there's gonna be blood in OP's panties.

Thank you for pointing this out.

In more ways than one...
