Today, I went to the Giants game. During the seventh inning stretch, they showed me on the jumbotron. It was just in time for the entire stadium to see me pull a tampon out of my purse. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a football game. During a time out, my face appeared on the Jumbotron during the Kiss Cam segment. I was sitting next to my mother. FML
Today, I went to a baseball game. On the way in, I managed to trip and get stuck in the turnstile. It took five minutes of flailing and twisting around in front of hundreds of people before I managed to pull myself out. FML
Today, I was faced with the inevitable horrible circumstances which lead me to put in a tampon on a moving city bus. FML
Today, my dad took me to a Yankees game at the new Yankee Stadium. During the 5th inning the camera crew put a man on the big screen. I yelled out, "Look at that ugly asshole!" It was the guy sitting 4 seats to the left of me. 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 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 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
Today, I went to my cousin’s wedding and started tearing up during the vows. I reached into my purse for a tissue but accidentally pulled out a tampon, which flew across the aisle and landed right between the bride and groom. It's probably going to make it into the wedding video. 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, I was at the movie theatre. I went to the bathroom, and was about to wipe my butt when I realized that where the toilet-paper dispenser should have been, there was a large hole. The woman in the next stall waved. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well that sucks
friedpwnadge 25
Bloody hell, that must have been awkward.
TheOnlyMizLiv 22
There's a button for that. Also, it doesn't seem like the end of the world to me. Everyone has to deal with it OP and anyone with half a brain will just brush it off.

everyone...unless you're a guy.
ChenEighty 20
Oh, because we're ALL ignorant, right?
challan 19
"That plugs" would be more accurate.
ILoveMyArm 15
@26 Maybe even "that absorbs".

Holy shit that was you?!?!?! Dang I felt bad when I saw that

It just gets more and more annoying every time I see a comment like this
SwaggCapone 11
I'm searching YouTube
buckerado 19
I bet the guy operating said something a little like "Hey, guys look at this chick...She's pulling out a tampon. Haha." You know the camera guy was looking at her when that happened.

#89 ahhh camera men. Always pointing at the right place at the right time...
michaelaranda 28
#33, really? Because im a season ticket holder and ive went to all of their games, and i cant remember anything like that But maybe im stupid and u guys are talking about a different sports team also called the giants and now i look ignorant for liking baseball And if u guys are talking about the sf giants, op, i didnt notice a moment like that, so hopefully, ur good. In other news, the giants are terrible this year
yoyoforpeace 14
For a moment there I wasn't so sure she was going to say purse...

Why does this video not exist on YouTube, Google, Etc.?

that wad good

aw well, i bet nobody knows you personally

At least she wasn't picking her nose or her butt.
DKjazz 20
Or doing either of those things with a tampon...
Amama_fml 30
Well, NOW they know her personally enough.
ravenxcorvinus 9
Yeah. Only her friends, family and the whole stadium now.

Do that in the bathroom next time OP.
gloooooria 14
Why? It's not like she pulled the tampon out of her ******. A tampon being pulled out of a purse is nothing to be embarrassed about. All women have their periods. It's part of life.
SrakaSrakasta 20
Yeah but what is the point of parading it around if she's embarassed by it?
AngrySailor 17
People have guns too ,but you don't take one out unless you intend to shoot it.

52 - Well said
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
also carrying a tampon compared to a giant, heavy purse to the bathroom is much easier
gloooooria 14
I'm not saying march up and down the aisles chanting here's a tampon because I'm on my period. But it's natural so be normal about it. If people (men) get weird about it that's on them not the bleeder. I just don't understand the fuss about showing a tampon. Also, guns kill. Tampons? Well tampons soak and plug.
Uramonkey 11
It's not that a tampon creeps me out. It's just that if OP was embarrassed that she was shown with a tampon in her hand, she might as well have not pulled it out in public for no reason.
Dynosaur_dollie 38
pretty sure she didn't pull it out for no reason. she was likely on her way to the washroom and didn't want to bring her purse with her, camera just got her in the middle of her exit. Mildly embarrassing sure, end of the world? not really.
VioletLife 18
But why would you leave your purse behind? Someone could steal it.
AngrySailor 17
The size of some women's purses is ******. If the purse was huge YDI. How much shit do you really need to take with you?
tegraturbo2000 15
yea like she is going to leave her purse unattended

AngrySailor 17
83- it possible she had a friend to watch it, but unless it's the size of a hockey bag, how hard is it to take with you? Most stalls I've seen have those handy little things inside the door to hang shit on.

I completely agree. Tampons are nothing to be embarrassed about. I was getting a tampon out of my locker once and my manager rudely asked me what I thought I was doing. I just told him, "changing my tampon" and got to see him turn bright red. Women menstruate. And that's okay!
Goldenberry_fml 14
I just think it's weird how she'd randomly pull a tampon out of her purse in public. I mean, what was she gonna do with it then? But still, fyl for having that broadcasted to the whole stadium. I'd be pretty embarrassed too.
evan_7899 28
why is this voted down??? cant people joke around on this site?
toughchick14 15
Well that's awkward, but at least everyone there knows you're not pregnant!
graffitied_love 20
Exactly! What if it had been a pregnancy test? That would be much worse, but taking a pregnancy test at a game would be a bit odd....
Uramonkey 11
25 - You missed the point. I believe he was referring to the fact that pregnant woman don't have periods therefore don't carry around tampons.
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
ya I think 25 would know that considering SHE is a CHICK herself.
Uramonkey 11
60 - My bad. Should have looked at her profile instead of assuming from the guy in her pic.
toughchick14 15
Um 51? I'm a girl, but yes that was what I was referring to.
graceinsheepwear 34
95, I love your contingency plan!
klorehore 24
Ah, come on, that's not so bad. At least they showed you on the camera. You could have pulled out worse things than a tampon, and a tampon is so small most people probably didn't even see what it was :)
CallMeMcFeelii 14
But on a jumbo-tron a 4 inch tampon immediately turns into a 20 foot tampon. Haha. I do agree though it isn't really that bad. Now if OP was a guy and for whatever reason had a tampon in hand, I could see the humility.
soupermeal 10
Humility is the condition of being humble lmao
CallMeMcFeelii 14
Yup used it wrong. Your parents proud now?
BeautifulChaos27 37
You know you can bring your purse into the bathroom and do that there right? Jumbo-tron or not people around you don't need to know you're bleeding out of your lady parts!
Mossears133 15
Not everyone wants to lug a big purse to the bathroom. Literally EVERY woman gets her period at some point. There's nothing to be ashamed about it.
BeautifulChaos27 37
Why would you want to leave a purse behind? I would assume you would take it with you so nothing gets stolen. And if it really is THAT big that it has to be "lugged" YDI for bringing your whole house with you. Wallet with your cards and some money, your keys, a cell phone, and some "emergency" supplies is all one really needs on them.
annie_nk 23
False. Some women never ovulate, thus no period.
TheMathMajor 26
I'm sure she went with someone to the game who could have watched her purse.
Mossears133 15
Touché
BeautifulChaos27 37
I wouldn't even trust people that I know to not go through my things, but I guess I just have trust issues.
Smoldering 15
Wtf? Purses why?
ajh557 22
If everything is important in your purse and that makes it heavy 1.its your fault 2. Why wouldn't you bring it because everything important is in their
PhasesPhantom 22
Because we should hide the very thing that made all of us.

That's bloody terrible.

YDI, OP. For going to see a Giants team that isn't football! :P

#8 another meat head obsessed with foot ball huh
UberNova 18
Why were you pulling a tampon out while at a game? If you don't want people to see....do it descreetly.
gloooooria 14
Because she was going to the bathroom to change it and most likely didn't want to take her suit case of a purse.
Smoldering 15
Maybe she just wanted to not have to dig though her purse in a tiny bathroom stall, and was going to hide it on her person. Like put it up her sleeve, or slip it in her pocket but she was caught while trying to do so.
amisenho 11
Maybe I'm missing something, but it just seems like that could be done discreetly from a purse. Assuming OP had pockets that didn't hug her hips, she could have just pulled it from her purse and immediately transferred it to her pocket. When I'm grabbing a tampon, I don't hold it up in front of my face and examine it, especially if I don't want anyone else seeing it.

You could have been picking your nose, it could have been much worse.
