Today, I was wearing a skirt, and running towards a closing elevator, making it just in time. As soon as I ran in, my pad fell out of my underwear and onto the floor. There were 6 other people in the elevator. I picked it up before I realized I had nowhere to put it, so I held it. For 18 floors. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was riding my dorm elevator from the 5th floor to the 1st by myself. Since the elevator is really slow, I pulled my pants and underwear down just for kicks. Just then, the door opened to let a girl on at the 4th floor. FML
Today, while I was at work, I didn't have any panty liners so I used tissue. I was taking orders when I suddenly felt the tissue trailing down my leg. I tried not to move, but it inevitably fell through my pants onto the floor in front of my co-workers. I swiftly put it into my pocket. Luckily, it had nothing on it. FML
Today, I was trying on clothes in a store that had just screens set up for changing. As I took off the first pair of pants had I tried on, my foot got hooked in the cuff and I fell out in my underwear in front of the whole store. FML
Today, I ran to catch the subway, slipped, and my pants ripped across the back. I got on the train trying to cover the hole, only to realize the train was packed with people staring straight at my underwear though my fingers. To make it worse, my phone started playing loud music and I froze as I considered which situation to fix first. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom and didn't realize my skirt was tucked in my ugliest underwear until I reached the elevator. Thanks for not telling me girl-in-the-yellow-shirt. FML
Today, I was riding up an escalator in the mall in uncomfortable high heels. While adjusting my bag I suddenly lost my balance and began flailing wildly. In desperation I hurled forward and ended up grabbing a teenage boy's buttocks and was promptly slapped by his girlfriend. FML
Today, I was running late for work. To save time, I grabbed my belt on my way out the door and was putting it on in the elevator, which stopped at the next floor before I had put my belt all the way on. A hot girl stepped into the elevator, looked at my undone belt, screamed "Ew" and got off. FML
Today, I grabbed a pair of pants from the dryer in a hurry, trying to make it to the bank. When I rushed in, I felt something fall down my leg. It was a pair of my mom's granny panties that had been stuck inside my jeans. I kicked them aside, hoping no one would notice. They did. FML
Today, I had a lovely day, right up until the moment I got home, went to change my pad, and realised that sometime in the last two hours, somewhere between the library and this moment, my pad had somehow… fallen out. So somewhere out there my bloody pad is… just there. What if someone saw? FML
Today, as I was stood on an escalator, my shoelace got caught in the step. Panicking, I tried to pull it out, but my shoe came off. I had to awkwardly hop back down the escalator to retrieve it while everyone around me in the mall watched. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How the bloody hell did that happen?? Pads are sticky and most have wings to hold on so I am dumb founded that this could possibly happen.

Haha, the only thing I could think of is that the OP was wearing a thong and doing some major running to that elevator...

Along with everyone else, how the hell did this happen? and why didn't you get off at the next floor to take care of it?

THANK YOU. I can't believe 53 people had to comment on this before someone with common sense pointed out that she could have gotten off at the next floor. Geez.

Personally, if I was holding a used pad in my hands, I wouldn't hit any buttons; that would be pretty unsanitary. Additionally, it is possible that the next floor down, as well as all the others, are office buildings of other companies, apartments of other people, etc.

If that actually happened to you, you would be in an emotional panic state and certainly would NOT push your way up to the floor buttons in front of everyone who can clearly see a pad in your hand...are you guys seriously flaming her for this? Pressing a floor button like that when the elevator has already started would make this whole situation SO much more embarrassing! Waiting a few more seconds for the elevator is so much better than causing another short scene when all eye balls are on you. I would have just froze perfectly still in utter embarrassment wishing I were invisible.

No one's saying she had to push a floor button. There were 6 other people in the elevator, so unless they were all getting off on the same floor as OP, other floor buttons would have been pushed. She could have just gotten off at whatever floor was the next stop. Also, if you think about it, that would be a smarter response (ending the situation and taking away the awkwardness) than standing there like a dumbass holding the pad for 18 floors.

Like I said before, what if the other floors were other office buildings? Then she would have had to walk into that with a pad in her hand, creating another awkward situation for even more people than the original six. If they were apartments, she would have to knock on someone's door, with a pad in her hand, and ask to use a stranger's bathroom. As to what #210 said, this was posted at 4:15 AM, so we're not really getting a good idea of when the incident actually happened. It very well could have been at the end of the work day; in this case, the people all might have been heading to the lobby and no other buttons were pushed. Then she could have gone down to the lobby, which would be crowded with people who want to go home and would not notice her, and take care of the problem. This would be more practical, especially if she was familiar with the lobby and knew the quickest way to the bathroom, than getting off at a random floor and wandering around looking for a bathroom with a pad in her hand.

Eh... if it took 53 comments for someone sitting at home on the computer to think of it, it's not completely unlikely that it took 18 floors of someone in the actual situation to think of it. You tend to overlook the obvious when you're panicked, or at least I do.

I wear pads. I have worn pads and skirts. I have worn a pad, a skirt, and fairly small underwear (not a thong, I like my ass unflossed) all at the same time. I really don't understand how this could happen.

How the heck does that happen? Next time remember pad+skirt+thong=disaster I want to say YDI because its probably your fault but I don't think anyone deserves that...

You'd think if you were on your period, you'd wear underwear that pads couldn't fall out of. I don't think you deserve it as such, but it was a moment like this waiting to happen...
