Today, I was in a bathroom stall and I accidentally dropped my new tampon on the ground. Just as I was about to reach for it, I heard a voice on the other side of the stall say, "Oh great, I needed that" and then a hand reached under my stall and grabbed it. It was my last one. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I was in a public restroom when someone took the toilet next to mine. Moments later, a used tampon rolls into my cubicle followed by an "Oops!" A creeping hand then promptly reached under to retrieve it. Both her hand and the tampon touched my bare toes. FML
Today, I went to use the public restroom. As I saw the toilet paper was out, I could see there was some hanging down from the other stall. As I went to grab it, I felt a hand grab mine and a voice ask seductively, "What were you reaching for?" FML
Today, I accidentally dropped a whole roll of toilet paper into the toilet. It was my last roll. FML
Today, while using the restroom at McDonald's, a hand reached under my stall and took the remaining toilet paper. FML
Today, I was changing my tampon in a public toilet. When I threw away the used one and opened a new one, it turned out that it had no thread on it! I took another one out. Again, defective! It was the last one I had with me, and it was the second day of my period. 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 on the toilet at work. After a very loud and very smelly session, I waited until the other stall had been vacated to keep my anonymity. As I leant forward for some toilet roll, my ID fell out of my pocket and into the next stall. When I came out, it was face up near the sink. FML
Today, I used the bathroom that the high school shares with elementary kids. As I was pulling my pants down, my phone fell out of my pocket into the other stall. As I was reaching for it, the little girl in the other stall took it and ran away. 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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Who picks a tampon off the floor with bacteria and puts it in themselves?! That's even more disturbing than OP's misfortune.

#12 you genius, you do realise tampons come in wrappers right?
CharresBarkrey 16
Even if it wasn't in a wrapper, they have plastic or cardboard applicators on them.
bryonyb33 17
That's still disgusting because the applicator goes inside you, meaning the bacteria still gets in and then when you remove the applicator it will also get on the tampon.
CharresBarkrey 16
Why would you still put the applicator inside after it was on the ground? I'm saying the tampon itself is still covered. Surely you could find a way to put it in without an applicator.
rawr_ily96 24
That would be a very difficult thing to do
oj101 33
Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't eat a packet of sweets (even when completely sealed/airtight) that I just found on the bathroom floor - let alone put stuff into my privates that I found off the floor, regardless of whether its wrapped up or not.

Some brands don't have an applicator at all with the tampon, you just use your fingers to shove it in place up there.
Danielle7994 18
88, Lol ugh! Lol why would any tampon-making company make a tampon that DOESN'T have an applicator attached with it? What girl would buy a tampon that would need her to use her own fingers to shove it in and then get blood to seep into her nails, then drip all over her fingers, down her hand and arm during the process? Makes no sense. If there is a company like that I don't know how they make money lol
Sputnikspak 13
Uh. There are companies who make tampons that don't use applicators. I hate using applicators, it's way easier to get it in the right place with a finger. And I have NEVER had blood under my nails or any more than a tiny smudge easily wiped off with toilet paper. Seriously?

...what the hell kind of period are you having that you think it works like that???
Danielle7994 18
118 and 148. I see How and why you guys (and 19 other people) down voted my previous common. I guess I didn't check up on the previous comment above mine. I have extremely heavy flow like each week that I have my period. So for me, there would be a lot of blood. Maybe not under my nails (I might have overexaggerated this description) but I would have blood dripping down my hand and arm. I guess I'm the only girl with a heavy flow. I guess I should have said that it probably only catered to me in that comment. I'm sorry. I know that that is probably too personal. But for me, applicators would probably be the best choice for me. I also apologize for being a bit dumb to not understand that there are other women who have much lighter periods that allow them to use non applicator tampons. But yea. I was in the wrong to put you (the previous commenter) down without checking up on that. And again my apoligies.
Danielle7994 18
And by previous commenter (I mistakenly forgot to mention you) I'm also referring to #88 since she was the one who first informed me

I don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.
Fluffydemise 18
That jokes older than the bible. It's also pretty tasteless.
Tempest151 11
The classics never die. And that's the point of the joke.
stargirl_95 24
But this is a joke that really does need to die, mainly because it was never funny to begin with.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess homosexual... No strait man who ever wants to get laid says that....

I guess your gay then?

@dragonfirefairy - I'll trust you.... Wait... Are those fangs? Gahhh!!! Ahhhggghhh! Gurgle.....
doodlecloud 27
Being cute doesn't make the joke funny...besides, chest pics aren't cute, just narcissistic.
Tempest151 11
112 My profile pic was supposed to be douchy, that's what makes it funny. How about people get back to commenting on the actual FML instead of nit picking everyone on here.
mim777 4
then why are you still talking about it ?
yeti37 16
From her perspective, it's the opposite of FML for the other woman. I bet she is telling people how she was in an awkward position without one and behold, one rolled under the stall to her. You could've answered her prayers! Congratulations, you were a guardian angel!
CharresBarkrey 16
I don't think it rolled into her stall, though. The FML said she reached under into OP's stall to get it. Which makes it even more weird.

That's just wrong in so many ways.
DaLiquer 20
You should've barged into that stall and beat the crap out of her then taken your tampon back!
mn_shr 22
That's misfortunate, kinda gross, but misfortunate nonetheless.
VeganVampyre 27
Unfortunate.

Sounds like you needed quicker feet OP.

Breaking news! A local tampon thief was just reported....

It was a bloody nightmare. More of this penetrating story at 11:00pm

Two things wrong here; A. Someone stole your tampon, B. You were going to use a tampon you dropped on the dirty bathroom floor. I'm not a clean freak, but I wouldn't stick something in my ****** that's been on the bathroom floor in a public restroom.
theycallmekitty 13
I'm assuming it was still in the wrapper.

Tampons DO come in these magical things called wrappers.
melody309 35
Even if the wrapper was already off, she really only had a few options: 1) use it anyway and risk infection, 2) try using toilet paper in place of a pad/tampon (which, by the way, is useless most of the time), or 3) bleed through her pants.
doodlecloud 27
Actually, toilet paper in place of a pad works fine as long as you change it when necessary and you don't have a really heavy flow...I was forced to do it a couple of weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked!
