Today, I went to the Giants game. During the seventh inning stretch they showed me on the jumbo-tron. It was just in time for the entire stadium to see me pull a tampon out of my purse. FML
There's a button for that. Also, it doesn't seem like the end of the world to me. Everyone has to deal with it OP and anyone with half a brain will just brush it off.
I bet the guy operating said something a little like "Hey, guys look at this chick...She's pulling out a tampon. Haha." You know the camera guy was looking at her when that happened.
Why? It's not like she pulled the tampon out of her vagina. A tampon being pulled out of a purse is nothing to be embarrassed about. All women have their periods. It's part of life.
I'm not saying march up and down the aisles chanting here's a tampon because I'm on my period. But it's natural so be normal about it. If people (men) get weird about it that's on them not the bleeder. I just don't understand the fuss about showing a tampon. Also, guns kill. Tampons? Well tampons soak and plug.
It's not that a tampon creeps me out. It's just that if OP was embarrassed that she was shown with a tampon in her hand, she might as well have not pulled it out in public for no reason.
pretty sure she didn't pull it out for no reason. she was likely on her way to the washroom and didn't want to bring her purse with her, camera just got her in the middle of her exit. Mildly embarrassing sure, end of the world? not really.
83- it possible she had a friend to watch it, but unless it's the size of a hockey bag, how hard is it to take with you? Most stalls I've seen have those handy little things inside the door to hang shit on.
I completely agree. Tampons are nothing to be embarrassed about. I was getting a tampon out of my locker once and my manager rudely asked me what I thought I was doing. I just told him, "changing my tampon" and got to see him turn bright red.
I just think it's weird how she'd randomly pull a tampon out of her purse in public. I mean, what was she gonna do with it then? But still, fyl for having that broadcasted to the whole stadium. I'd be pretty embarrassed too.
Ah, come on, that's not so bad. At least they showed you on the camera. You could have pulled out worse things than a tampon, and a tampon is so small most people probably didn't even see what it was :)
But on a jumbo-tron a 4 inch tampon immediately turns into a 20 foot tampon. Haha. I do agree though it isn't really that bad. Now if OP was a guy and for whatever reason had a tampon in hand, I could see the humility.
You know you can bring your purse into the bathroom and do that there right? Jumbo-tron or not people around you don't need to know you're bleeding out of your lady parts!
Why would you want to leave a purse behind? I would assume you would take it with you so nothing gets stolen. And if it really is THAT big that it has to be "lugged" YDI for bringing your whole house with you. Wallet with your cards and some money, your keys, a cell phone, and some "emergency" supplies is all one really needs on them.
If everything is important in your purse and that makes it heavy
1.its your fault
2. Why wouldn't you bring it because everything important is in their
Maybe she just wanted to not have to dig though her purse in a tiny bathroom stall, and was going to hide it on her person. Like put it up her sleeve, or slip it in her pocket but she was caught while trying to do so.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it just seems like that could be done discreetly from a purse. Assuming OP had pockets that didn't hug her hips, she could have just pulled it from her purse and immediately transferred it to her pocket. When I'm grabbing a tampon, I don't hold it up in front of my face and examine it, especially if I don't want anyone else seeing it.
