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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a man in a hurry asked me for a light. Not being able to find my lighter amongst the muddle inside my handbag, I handed him my lit cigarette so he could light his. He took it from me, started smoking it and walked off. FML
Today, a guy sitting next to me in class asked me for a pen. I accidentally handed him a tampon instead. FML
Today, I begged a coworker to let me borrow her lighter for my smoke break, since I'd lost mine. She was reluctant because of my track record of losing the darn things. After my break I stopped to use the restroom really quick, and promptly dropped the lighter into the toilet. FML
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, I was getting coffee when I pulled my lip balm from my pocket and started playing with it in my hands, tapping it on my face and lip. There were there two gorgeous guys in front of me who kept turning around and staring at me. I was actually holding a tampon. 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, a homeless guy asked me for a cigarette. Knowing that I only had a couple left in my pack, I gave it to him. He opened it, took one out and thanked me profusely. A bit surprised, I went on my way. Oh yeah, that's right, the pack contained the money I'd withdrawn from an ATM. FML
Today, while working in a dark nightclub, I dropped a red charger. Retracing my steps, I found it, or so I thought until I picked up a used tampon. FML
Today, on my way home from grocery shopping, two young adults around my age came up and asked me for a lighter. Thinking they just needed it to light a cigarette, I handed them my only lighter. They immediately ran away. I got robbed for a 1.99$ lighter. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How did you manage to confuse your tampax for a lighter?

Ive done the same thing, instead I was handing my professor what I thought was a pen. He got a chuckle. If your a woman you are bound to have at least done it once.

Never knew they felt the same. Becarefull where you stick the wrong one. Could be a hot situation.

That's why most handbags come with a small pouch on one side that zips up.... I always keep spare pads in there instead of leaving them floating around in my bag.

Similar thing happened to my best mate... He tried getting a lighter from my shelf went a little far back into the corner and pulled out what he thought was a lighter.. Now bear in mind he was hungover and it was 8am, however at 9am he still hadn't managed to light it.. So he asked what it was.. "my ex girlfriends bullet vibrator" apparently she knew hiding spots in my room that I didn't.

Ive seen this story so many times in different forms. Whats the big deal out of handing someone a tampon on accident? Are we in elementary school? Tehe a tampon! *everyone giggles* wtf

Well, someone wasn't paying attention. I space out alot, but I'm pretty sure I'd distinguish a lighter from a tampon, or even a lighter from a marker.
