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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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!

Dear OP When it comes to feminine products and the limit on perceived embarrassment they seem to be able to cause females in public... appears there's no limit. On the flip side, major points for the bold factor in straight picking the pad up and... just kinda... waiting with it. Know a few that would have tried a full deniability, or even a shoe-cover-up or something else just as meek. I applaud the "...yeah, that's mine" accountability. Small consolation, but at the very least- the six other people in the elevator with you *now* know you maintain a modern standard of feminine hygiene. ...clearly, you were majorly embarrassed, so you get the FYL.

I would never wear a skirt when I had a pad on. And get ones with wings.

Maybe Alice is one of those "organic" girls that makes her own pads out of moss. Although personally I don't believe a quarter of the stuff I read here is true, it's still kind of funny.

Even those "organic" re-usable pads usually have snaps or something to keep them on.

...What's with all the people saying she deserves it for wearing pads with skirts? I've worn pads with skirts A LOT. If you stick it on properly, the pad WILL NOT fall out. :P

Maybe wear pantyhose or tights under your skirt when you have your period next time? I don't know... I'm always a little leery about the whole pads + skirts thing, and this is a good example of why. FYL for sure.

leery? or did you mean weary?

No..leery=suspicious... completely appropriate use here..weary=exhausting, makes very little sense here.
