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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

I get how you could confuse a tampon with a lip balm especially due to the similar shape, size and feeling of hard packed cotton covered in a thin plastic covering of Australian tampons compared to small tubes of lip balm. However there is noticeable difference between hard plastic tubing and plastic covering that are different enough that you should have been able to tell the difference by just feeling. That being said, fyl OP. That would have been a super embarrassing moment but I'm sure you won't be making that mistake again.

How didn't you notice?

You should've looked them in the eye, told them sternly that staring is rude, and continued to pretend to apply lip balm with your tampon.

You should have smiled creepily at them and winked.

How did you not notice your "lip balm" was covered in loose plastic? Also even if it was lip balm that's still a weird thing to do, they'd probably be staring anyways

I'm sorry, but I call "shenannigans" on this. I'd believe it if she said she'd taken it out and started to uncap it, or some other short interaction, but there's no way that she wouldn't have felt a difference if she was touching it with her hands and lips for an extended period of time, as she describes here.

There's nothing wrong with tapping something against your face. I don't see why everyone keeps saying you deserved it just because you have an odd habit.

This FML has taught me that a lot of guys are pretty clueless when it comes to tampons. They don't seem to realize that tampons come in plastic inserts and wrapped in loose plastic wrappers. When we pull a tampon out of our purse, it's not just a cotton ball with string attached lol
