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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, a guy sitting next to me in class asked me for a pen. I accidentally handed him a tampon instead. 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, 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 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, 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, at work, I told a lady checking out to sign her name after sliding her credit card. After she started signing her name, she threw the pen down in frustration saying that the pen was out of ink. We use electronic pin pads. 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, when I went to pay for my groceries, I accidentally handed the cashier a condom instead of my $20. 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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That must've been one thin ass tampon.

I don't see what ass tampons have to do with any of this

i could understand having a tampon in your apron... what confuses me is how on earth do you mistake that for a pen? ever?

Shouldn't that be in your bag? I understand I'm a male and wouldn't understand but I'm sure an extra couple of minutes won't affect the flow...sorry for any visuals.

Sometimes if you work for an asshole employer, they wont give you the extra time to get in your bag. Yeah a couple of minutes doesn't mess with the flow that much but a couple of minutes on a hectic job is important...

Unfortunately, a couple of minutes can make a difference.

This is similar to a popular cartoon. A waitress hands a tampon to her customer, then says, "Now where did I put that pen?"

He should have said, "So, what are you doing next week?" Either (ee) that, or dine 'n dash.

He already paid.

It's not paid until he signs. Of course, catching him will be easy.

I honestly do not see why this is a big deal. Apologize to the customer, give the customer a pen, move on with your life, and pay more attention next time. It is common knowledge that most women between approximately 12 and 40 have periods.

Exactly. It's not like it's a secret she menstruates.

How did you mistaken a tampon with a pen? Was it rush hour?
