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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 got my period and went clubbing. I had to change my tampon and stupidly I only brought one. When I unwrapped it, it fell on the floor. I had to wait in the womens' bathroom for 45 minutes for a random girl to give me a spare. FML
Today, I didn't have any money to buy a tampon from the dispenser at my school but my hands are small enough so I can just slide them up and grab one. My hand got stuck in the dispenser and my school had to call the fire department. Now everyone calls me "Tampon Girl." FML
Today, I bought a box of tampons and went to the store restroom to insert one. I then put the box inside my purse. On my way out, I got stopped by security, who yelled at me to empty my purse. He grabbed my bag, spilling the tampons everywhere. Apparently, he thought I was stealing. 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, 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, I was changing my tampon in a public bathroom. As I was about to put the tampon into the sanitary bin, I dropped it and it rolled under the stall next to mine. It was occupied. 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'm on the last few days of my period. After nothing came out the whole day, a dollop of blood suddenly poured out, somehow managed to entirely circumvent the giant pad I was wearing, and went straight into my underwear, pants, and the chair I was sitting on. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I assume if you work in an office everyone there would have been able to handle seeing a tampon in your bag. Even if they are, for some reason, immature enough to give you a dumb nickname like that they could have been desensitized from seeing tampons in purses from high school and have not said anything. In reality if someone pointed out "Oh hey guys, she has a tampon in her bag!" they would have looked like a moron.

Does the "I hid a one in my bra" annoy anyone else?

She was hiding steak sauce in her bra, get off her case.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever hear. You put it in the bag? Why would they know there's tampons in your bag first? And second who cares? Girls get periods believe it or not. And unless they want pms blood on their seats at work they should accept they need to use a tampon or pad

Yea I thought only middle schoolers were embarrassed to have to carry around tampons. Once your a grown women you should be comfortable with it

You are now known as taste the rainbow! And are also magically delicious. Which... looking back on it, doesn't seem like much of an insult. Also tampon dispenser, that's a pretty useful skill. Name your self Maxi Pad and rid the world of PMS one tampon at a time.

I don't get why people find periods embarrassing, I mean menstruation is both an important and extremely normal body process... But then again so is flatulence...

While it's natural and normal, it's still embarrassing. It's not something you want everyone to know about. When you get up to go to the bathroom, you don't want to make a show of it, like "Hey, I'm going to go insert this wad of cotton up my ****** cause I'm bleeding from my genitals!" ...you want to be kinda discreet. Which is hard enough with tampon wrappers that crinkle like newspapers.

even if it's not something that needs an announcement, it's really nothing to be ashamed of. hiding stuff actually makes people more curious.

So it's not good to have long nipples? Damn I need to find a new **** site...
perdix 31
It's a niche audience. There's a small group who has a fetish for them. I forget the name, but there are groups if different fans of unusual nipples like plushies and puffies.

I had a teacher that put a tampon in her sleeve and was going to walk out the classroom when the tampon fell out. She picked it up after everyone saw it, she then ran out of the room...only to return extremely red faced. Really funny but you gotta feel for her. Pretty embarrassing.

She returned red faced? Ew.

Do your colleagues go through your bag? I simply have no idea why you would prefer to keep a tampon in your bra.

I think she would have been embarrassed to take it out of her bag in front of everyone. Still a stupid reason though.
TexasBitch 13
She could have just brought her bag to the restroom with her. And the fact that she's old enough to work, but still gets embarrassed about her period is pathetic. Grow up.

Hey, he's the IT guy! He can do anything!

I just don't even understand this FML at all. I just don't understand.
alliewillie 22
And more than 50% of the population has had one, so who cares?

I don't understand this at all. Why would your co-workers know you have tampons in your bag? Unless they rifle through your purse or follow you into the bathroom stall....please explain.
