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

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!

I'm going to point something out, which I will most likely get thumbed down for... When a lady goes to insert a new tampon, typically the first thing they do is UNWRAP the thing. It's not that unreasonable (just disgusting) to think that it may not have been in the wrapper anymore. I've dropped them on my own bathroom floor before, and just grabbed a new one rather than use the one I dropped, even though I'm a cleanfreak who uses medical grade cleaner every day to clean my bathrooms. OP should just use a wad of TP so she can run to the nearest place that sells tampons and get a new box, or use the dispensers that are usually in public washrooms.

While I do agree that you can drop them while taking them out of the wrapper I don't think you've evaluated that a purse ( which OP might have had the tampon in) is a mystical place where we jam our lives into it so there is a chance that she might have been pulling things out to look for it and the tampon came out with a handful of other things therefore still being in the wrapper.

I'm sure if you opened your door and yelled "I wish I had a penis" several would come running by.

Your first reaction should be picking it right back up. If it was anything besides a tampon then that would be the reaction.

Because it sucks to have an unwieldy, blood sodden clump of paper balled up between one's vag lips. Suppose she's wearing a skirt or a thong? No one wants to risk losing that special 'surprise' while out and about!

Do you guys not have tampon/pad dispensaries in the US? They're in near enough every public bathroom in UK, thankfully. Needed that a few times. Way I see it, they did you a favour. I dunno about you but I'd have happily let them take it just to get that weirdo out of there ASAP. Don't want someone like that in the next stall when you've your pants down!

I've seen dispensers in nearly every public bathroom I've ever been in. And I've seen maybe two that actually were stocked.

Yeah, they exist, but they're hardly ever stocked. Either that, or they're broken because of people trying to steal the contents.

Yes we have tampon dispensaries in some public restrooms, but considering she wasn't expecting to have to use it, she probably didn't have the money to buy one. Nowadays I just carry around my debit card so it's not too unrealistic to think she didn't have money.

who would want to steel tampons ?

That's why I'm always strapped with like 10 tampons at once. Ain't no one stealing my feminine products.

I picture you saying "You can have my tampon when you pry it from my cold dead crotch". It made me giggle.
vladimirnabokov 15
Haha! And incredibly accurate.

Get in her stall, push it up as far as you can and rip the rope off. What a piece of work! stealing yr tampon. How low can you go?
