Today, at work, I had to explain to my co-manager at work what a period was, after he refused to let an employee go change her tampon. Afterwards, he panicked, saying he thought women made that up so they didn't have to have sex, before trying to send her to the hospital and fainting. We're 24. FML

Today, my boss called me in to have a serious talk. The "serious talk" was him asking me to notify him of my menstrual cycle ahead of time so he can "avoid that shit". FML

Today, if it wasn't already embarrassing enough to tell my boyfriend I was on my period, I had to explain what a period is in the first place, how it works, and why it means nothing can happen during that time of the month. He's twenty. FML

Today, after disappearing for an unusually long period of time, my boss called the store phone while sitting on the toilet. Turns out she'd started bleeding uncontrollably from the arse, and as the only other female staff member, she needed me to go help her. FML

Today, I got my period at school. I didn't notice until a boy asked me if I'd killed someone in my pants. FML

Today, I got my period. 10 minutes into a 3 hour exam. Apparently they are serious when they say you may not leave the room under any circumstances. FML

Assumptions

Today, at work, I had some palpitations, which ultimately caused me to become hot, dizzy, and pass out. I couldn't go home because we were so short staffed, and three different colleagues asked me if I was pregnant. FML

The ole paper cut excuse

Today, I cut my finger deep on an envelope at work and started bleeding profusely. When I asked my co-worker for a band-aid, she told me to get back to work and stop making up excuses to try and hit on her. FML

I'm just speechless. How is this possible for a grown-up man in his twenties?

Amazing(ly lame) how just the thought of women actually having periods was enough to make him faint. Also, the way he thought all women were in on this evil sex-denying conspiracy is kind of awful (as well as obviously stupid).

A guy I shared university halls with was absolutely horrified when he found out the bins in our shared bathrooms were for sanitary products. Never seen anybody look so ill... just from finding out he had been in a cubicle where tampons/towels etc were temporarily contained. Made my day.

Epic fail. You think he knew about the birds and bees by now!! Actually, the female coworker could go into toxic shock syndrome if she doesn't remove it for days....

When I was a preteen and learning about puberty and periods and stuff I thought that no boy had the right to know that girls even got periods, that my mother or other women I trusted were the only ones I could openly talk about it with, and that I shouldn't even tell adult males about my period. When we got these "girls only" booklets at school in grade 6 one of the FAQ's in it was, "What if I start my period in class and my teacher is a man?"
