Today, I was getting coffee when I pulled my lip balm from my pocket and started playing with it in my hands, tapping it on my face and lip. There were there two gorgeous guys in front of me who kept turning around and staring at me. I was actually holding a tampon. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at the store when I saw two extremely hot girls. I walked into their aisle and they looked at me and smiled. I stopped and pretended to look at something so I could listen to what they were saying. They started laughing and walked away. It turned out I was reading a box of tampons. FML
Today, I was talking to myself and got distracted when I was going to put chapstick on my lips. I took the cap off my deodorant and put it on my lips. FML
Today, I was hanging out with my two friends. My hair was hanging over my upper lip, making it look like I had a big mustache. "Hey, look guys!" I said. "I have a mustache!" "I know," they both said without looking. I'm a girl. FML
Today, I was on the phone with a client, when the gum I was casually chewing fell out of my mouth and down my shirt. While I was trying to dig it out, two of our newest customers walked into the lobby to see what looked like me fondling my breasts. FML
Today, while using a public restroom to change my tampon, I made eye contact with someone looking at me through the little space in the door. FML
Today, I did the "suck your finger" trick in the car to prevent my lipstick from getting on my teeth and halfway locked eyes with a random dude outside. 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 noticed a cute girl in the checkout lane at the store. Feeling a little flirtatious, I decided to blow a bubble with my gum to get her attention. I accidentally shot the gum out of my mouth onto the guy next to me, spitting all over myself in the process. FML
Today, I was shopping when a woman stopped me and asked me what lipgloss I was wearing because my lips looked gorgeous. I had to explain to her it was just the grease from the Slim Jim I had just eaten. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you tap anything in your face, even if it was a lip balm?

right and was it in a package ? ... how big is this chapstick that op couldnt tell the difference?

Not all tampons come with applicators so without an applicator it's almost exactly the size of a Chapstick

Just... "why"? :D

Well... That's awkward. You must have been really distracted by them, eh, op? ;) I hope it was worth the view at least!

I'm a guy, but I am having a very hard time understanding how you could confuse those two things. First, why would you not keep the tampon wrapped until you needed it? Second, isn't lip balm a good bit smaller?

Tampons come in many different sizes, as do lip balms.

But tampons do come wrapped. Op should've known the difference.

well, as mentioned already you can get tampons in various sizes/lengths.. not to mention not all tampons have the paper or weird plastic material wrapping, some are wrapped very tightly in a plastic sheathe that I guess can get confused for a plastic tube containing lip balm if you weren't paying attention

As a woman, I too am confused

It was probably the Australian tampon, which is like a cotton bullet and doesn't come with an applicator, which would come with noisy packaging. The surface of the tampon is covered in plastic film and it's pretty hard to the touch...and it's about two inches in size. So yeah I'm guessing it's this type. Tapping against the face is an odd habit though.

Well hey, at least you got them to stare OP! Just not in a very good way...

How do you mix up a tampon for a lipbalm? They feel very different.
Fmlsea 28
and how do you know the difference between a lipbalm and a tampon ? haha

They sell tampons without the applicator & they're wrapped in a tight plastic package.

#18 I'd say one is softer to touch than the other, even when the tampon is wrapped in plastic.

Lip balms and rogue tampons are similar shape and size, especially when you're blindly hunting in your cavernous handbag. I hear ya OP!

But she wasn't even blindly hunting in her bag. She pulled it from her pocket. Making it even more of a YDI.

Isn't one made of a soft, absorbent material and the other has a hard plastic cover? How did you get that wrong?
