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 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, while changing my tampon in a public restroom, a toddler crawled under the door of my stall and asked what I was doing. I had to wait until I'd finished to open the door and let her out. FML

Today, I was in a bathroom stall and someone had left their dirty tampon rolled up in toilet paper on the top of the paper dispenser. I felt obligated to dispose of it, so the next person didn't think I left it, because there was a line for the stalls. Fuck you, asshole. 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, while using a public restroom to change my tampon, I made eye contact with someone looking at me through the little space in the door. 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, 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, 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 realized I'd put on my shirt on inside out, so I went to the bathroom stalls to fix it. As I was taking it off, I accidentally dropped it in the toilet. FML

How would a wet used tampon even roll??? Answer : it wouldn't.

#25 Just roll with it, dude. No need to question tampon physics.

That's so awkward. I think I would sit in my stall for a good few minutes after the person left. I probably wouldn't want to be seen. (I'd have this weird anxiety that they'd just be waiting for me to walk out so they can take a look at my face and think "It was HER, the dirty tampon girl/lady"). I'm also wondering if you put your hand under and grabbed it or not.

Not gonna lie, I probably would have tried to grab it. It seems more weird to me to leave it.

I did indeed grab it, I'm lucky it didn't have much on it

Had to think about the FML the other day with the toddler crouching under bathroom stalls. Wondering if it would be good or bad to have one in this situation, too.

I still can't get over how amusing "sanitary bin" sounds.

Tampons ARE flushible....

Yeah, no. Don't flush a tampon. Have you ever actually submerged a tampon in water? They swell! A sure way to block your pipes!!

I was just wondering the other day when I looked at a sign for this in the bathroom if there are still people out there who think that tampons are flushable. There are signs everywhere to not do it and it's not a conspiracy of the toiletlobby.

Plumbers who are called out to clear the pipes after too many tampons are flushed refer to them as "sewer mice" because they are round and fluffy and have a tail. Do not flush the sewer mice unless you want to pay a plumber to clear the pipes after you are inconvenienced at the convenience.
