Today, as I sat down for my flight, I realised that the passenger I had to sit next to for the next seven hours was wearing a necklace made from tampon packaging. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, within the first 15 minutes of a nonstop 8-hour flight, the guy sitting next to me picked an eyelash he found on my face, stared at it for a few seconds, and stuck it in his mouth. FML
Today, as I sat down in the plane, I realized that for the next seven hours I would be sitting next to a priest who refused to stop praying aloud, and an old man who wanted to tell me the story of how the toothpick came to be. FML
Today, I have an eight hour transatlantic flight and the person sitting next to me has already filled his third sick bag. This wouldn't be quite so bad were we not still at the terminal with passengers still boarding the plane. FML
Today, I'm on a 16 hour flight. Five minutes in, the lady on one side has clipped her toenails onto me and the guy on the other side has the most horrific gas I have ever smelled. To help this problem he bought a cheese plate from the stewardess. 15 hours and 55 minutes to go. FML
Today, I discovered the worst possible situation in which to get explosive diarrhea: on a 9-hour transatlantic flight. Next to an attractive single guy. 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 was faced with the inevitable horrible circumstances which lead me to put in a tampon on a moving city bus. FML
Today, I got my period early. While traveling. For a funeral. I had to walk through two entire airport terminals to find a shop that had any period products, and the only option was an $18 box of tampons. Six tampons, to be precise. FML
Today, after visiting my mom, she stuffed a bunch of pads in my backpack so I'd have some at my dorm. When I was going through security, I was stopped and ended up missing my flight. Apparently the jumbo pads my mom sent look exactly like packs of cocaine when they go through the X-ray machine. FML
Today, while using the bathroom on an airplane, someone walked in on me wiping my butt. That person just so happened to be the stranger I was sitting next to. It was an 8 hour flight. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I personally think whoever made it has talent.

Why?! I mean some girls are embarassed to buy tampons because of cashiers making rude remarks. How do these people feel wearing the packages around their neck!

This made me think of an interesting article on yahoo a few weeks back about starting fires with tampons as a survival tip. They're good for more ways than one, you know! :)

Last time I checked.. Realized had a z not an s.

Not everyone's from America: here in England, realised is spelt with an s.

You beat me to it, I was just about to write that it can be spelt both with an s and z, and OP is from the UK so, it makes sense.

Last time I checked, there was more than one dialect of English than American English.

Not in the UK it doesn't.

At least he's not receiving a pearl necklace at the moment. Talk about awkward...

The story did not mention the exact brand. The passenger could literally be wearing a Pearl necklace if she prefers Tampax.

Perdix, I am impressed by your knowledge of feminine hygiene products. I think the passenger might be a male that lost a bet. No woman would actually wear anything tampon related. Too easy of a target for jokes.

Thanks #56, but you give me too much credit. I just absorb TV advertising way too easily. Those cat food and cat litter commercials are so compelling, my cupboards are full of Fancy Feast and Tidy Cat. The problem is I've never owned a cat!!
