Today, while trucking, I got stuck in traffic on a congested highway. After 15 minutes of mind-numbing boredom, I glanced down at the car beside me, only to witness the driver changing her tampon and flicking the old one onto the highway. I can't unsee this. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw the woman in the car in front of me throw something out the window. Only when it landed on my windshield did I realize what it was. A bloody tampon. FML
Today, I was stuck in traffic on the highway and decided it was the perfect time to pick a humongous booger out of my nose. While carefully examing and admiring it, I failed to notice that the owner of my company was staring at me from the left lane in complete and utter revulsion. 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, while driving, I saw a car pull over with its hazard lights on. I went to see if they needed help, only to see the guy was jerking off to something on his phone. FML
Today, while I was driving home, some jackass in an open-top sports car overtook us and flipped me off. Just as I overtook him in turn, my wife rolled down her window, pulled out her tampon, and launched it at the kid. I'm not sure who was more horrified, me or him. FML
Today, I walked into a public restroom and, to my utter surprise, saw a lady squeezing blood out of used tampons. We made eye contact, she continued, and I ran out in horror. FML
Today, while driving on the highway, I got stuck in a traffic jam. Upon glancing over at the car in the next lane, I saw it was my ex as of a week ago. We sat in barely moving traffic right next to each other for half an hour. FML
Today, I just pulled out of the fast food drive through, only to pull right behind a septic truck. Just as I was about to dig into my food, I noticed it had a handy window about a foot round. I had a stare-down with a turd until I could pass. FML
Today, while on the way to Florida for spring break, I pointed out to my mom a bright blue car in the rear-view mirror. As the car overtook us, we both got a horrifyingly detailed view of the driver jerking off her passenger. FML
Today, while driving, we pulled up at a set of traffic lights next to a huge truck with live animals inside. Curious as to exactly what animal, I wound down my window to see if I could hear them, just in time for the truck to take off and cow shit to fly in my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How are some people so unhygienic? I just don't understand!

Leaving a tampon in for too long can result in Toxic Shock Syndrome.

She should have thought of that sooner. Or found somewhere to stop to change it. Or, at the very least, done it when a trucker (or family in a large truck/van/SUV) couldn't look down into her car! Sure, tampons have a time limit, but there is nothing anywhere that says they MUST be used for all of that time! Good God, is there nothing people won't find a bullshit excuse for anymore??

Right because you always know when you're going to be stuck in traffic.

TSS doesn't have an exact time limit. It's not like you're safe for 8 hours and at 8:01 you're infected. Leaving a tampon in for too long creates the kind of environment that TSS grows in, but it's very rare and would normally take days of not changing one for you to even have a chance of getting it. If you already have the bacteria in your body then you can become infected after just 4 hours. 8 hours is the general limit, but you certainly won't be doomed if you have to leave it in for an extra 30 minutes or hour. I'm not saying it's a good idea to go around with the same tampon for 9 hours (that could give you an infection and there is still a slight risk of TSS), but if you really can't change it for that extra hour or so, you don't have to start writing your will. I highly doubt she was changing it because of TSS; she probably just didn't want to mess through her clothes and car.

Hmmm, congested highway in Colorado? Could only be I-70 west of Denver.

That's the American dream!

That's absolutely horrifying. But hey, at least you got to drive away eventually. There was probably an unfortunate animal nearby whose habitat was later polluted with her sewage.

I don't think anyone wants to hear the words tampon, box, and snack in the same sentence after this FML.

Was it Giovanna Plowman ?

If it was her then the tampon would have stayed in the car and been saved as a little snack for when she finishes putting in a new one.
