Today, while at work being a waitress, I gave my customer his credit card receipt to sign. Instead of giving him a pen, I pulled a tampon out of my apron pocket and handed it to him. FML

Today, some guy asked me if he could borrow my lighter. I said "of course," reached into my handbag, and gave him the lighter. He stared at me for a few seconds until I realised I'd given him a tampax. FML

Today, in class, I reached into my bag to pull out a tampon, which I hid under my sleeve so I could make a quick escape to the restroom. My teacher yelled at me, because she thought I'd taken out my phone. I then had to prove myself by showing the tampon to the whole class. FML

Nailed that social interaction
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

A new friendship bonded in blood?
Today, I was in the bathroom at school. The girl next to me asked for a pad. I gave one to her. I didn't think much of it. The last lesson, I went to the bathroom again and went to a stall to play games on my phone. The same girl goes into the stall next to me, slides a used bloody pad, and says, "Thank you." 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 didn't have any money to buy a tampon from the dispenser at my school but my hands are small enough so I can just slide them up and grab one. My hand got stuck in the dispenser and my school had to call the fire department. Now everyone calls me "Tampon Girl." FML

Today, I had just reached in my purse without looking to grab a granola bar when my boss walked in my office. We talked for a few minutes as he kept giving me strange looks and looking at my hand. He left and I realized I hadn't taken a granola bar out, but a tampon instead. FML

Today, I got my period at school. I didn't notice until a boy asked me if I'd killed someone in my pants. FML

Today, I was expecting my period. To avoid the embarrassment of everyone in the office finding out, instead of putting tampons in my bag, I hid one in my bra. It fell out while I was coming back from lunch. I am now known to all as "The Tampon Dispenser". FML

well it depends on what grade-level you're in. If it's in college I'm sure the guy would understand the little slip up and (if it were me) might've made a little friendly joke about it. If it's high school, well then you're effed, high schoolers are immature idiots. Middle school there's a 75% chance he won't know what it even is.

if a girl were to do that to me, I'd be a gentleman about it and kindly inform her of her litlle gaffe, shrugging it off with a polite chuckle. then I'd probably get a funny conversation and a great date out of it. :) Only a small-minded douchebag would be immature or insensitive about it in any way, and said douchebag is surely destined to live alone for the rest of his life. So it's not the worst thing that could happen to you, OP.

First off, girls pretty much always are carrying tampons for emergencies and second off, people older than 10 generally dont use pencil cases...
