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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my boyfriend asked me how women could urinate with a tampon in. 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
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
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
Today, I told my boyfriend that I've missed my period, and that I think I might be pregnant. He started panicking and ended up puking in the toilet. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend why period blood couldn't be saved and donated to the hospital for transplants. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

drewflav 17

The irony of this comment is baffling.

By spelling "stupid" correctly

Sure you did 71

89, 71 was just doing it to make sure we're all awake and paying attention.

I found out what a period was when I was 10. He should of around that age or at least by the time he was 13. I'm not sure how one can be so ignorant for so long.

Guess who's been sleeping during sex ed classes....

or skipping out on them all together

or fainting from shock. Sadly, no one noticed him slumped in his seat, everyone else was enthralled.

Something we 'made up to get out of sex' haha?! Like saying "nah I ain't in the mood" isn't a good enough reason? That poor guy, his world's just been turned upside down by this very simple human fact!

sometimes it isn't a good enough reason. Not all men were created with the ability to listen and accept no as an answer.

40, that's also called rape...

Or sexual assault. Or the Struggle Snuggle.

Not sure why #40 is being down-voted. It's not like she's wrong. Some men wont take "no" for an answer, so women will make stuff up.

87 because not all people were created with the ability to accept a criticism as an answer.

Lol guys are clueless idiots

Actually, my boyfriend is amazing and I'm sure that he knows what a period is.

#51 so does mine. The craving of chocolate, aggressive tone in my voice when I speak or almost bursting into tears at the drop of a hat may have something to do with it.

Wait until you're older and hopefully wiser to start judging kid. You're evidence that women can be clueless idiots as well.
MzZombicidal 36
Yes, 18, because this one man's reaction explains every man on Earth. Let's ignore the many FML's on those clueless women and just generalize the whole male population for no legitimate reason! :)

Please buy him a book about the female body!

As one meme once depicted it, Chapter 1 was about 3 feet thick... though I think that could've been titled "Understanding Women".

She said 'body' not 'mind'

30, I think the book meme being referred to was, "What men know about women vol.1"

sounds like his parents didn't explain about the birds egg cycle

How could he not know? My class technically didn't get the sex talk in school (the boys were too rowdy so my teacher eventually just gave up) but we all still figured it out on our own.
_sempiternus 11
... Wow.

The thing he fails at most is thinking women 'HAVE to have sex'. Saying 'not in the mood' should be enough, we don't need to make excuses and lie because we shouldn't be feeling forced into it anyway. It makes you want to do it even less and you end up in a vicious circle.
