Note to self: Never Google tampon anything again!
This is a quickie (heh, heh, that's what she said)...
Being that my periods have become rather irregular over the past few years (no, it's not impending menopause), I tend to keep tampons in my purse every day of the month. Well, I don't know if many of you ladies are aware, but the plastic wrapping around a certain brand of tampons is rather flimsy, and I've found that after keeping them in my purse for a few days, the wrapping tends to...eh...disintegrate?...dessicate? Meh. I don't feel like pulling up a thesaurus. You know what I'm saying.
Well, I was in the checkout counter of a certain big-box retailer, searching through my huge bag for my wallet. I caught sight of it way at the bottom and pulled out a couple of things so I could get to it. One of the things I pulled out was a tampon that had been in my purse since a couple of days prior. The tampon itself wasn't so bad, but what was bad was the fact that it was almost totally unwrapped and the fact that I, upon my realizing exactly what it was I'd pulled from my purse that brought about that stupid smirk on the clerk's face, slung my hand downward, thus causing the stupid shit to fly through the air and land on the floor about four or five feet away from me. Everybody who was walking towards the exit saw my wayward, unwrapped tampon laying on the floor, and all eyes were on me as they gingerly stepped around it. Oh, of course they knew it was mine, since I was the only one in the vicinity with a beet-red face and an aghast expression. How do you explain that?
Simply put: don't. I certainly didn't. Instead, I swiped my debit card so fast, I almost sliced my fingertip on the edge of the POS reader. I hurriedly grabbed my bags and hauled ass toward the exit. And yes, I left the exposed tampon lying in the middle of the floor. Fuck it. If you're going to do it, do it all the way.
4 quips:
It could have been worse,it could have dropped out of your vagina.Now,imagine what people faces would have looked like then! Feel better now?
was it the yellow wrapped ones?? those little buggers are so bright and the wrapping is so damn flimsy! one fell out of my purse on the bus the other day (just the tampon, unwrapped) and i left it too. it fell behind the seat and i dont think that anyone saw... either way i left it.
speaking of the yellow wrapped ones... one time my ex was in my car and my purse was sitting open so you could see the contents. he glanced over and said "HEY! you have mini oh henry bars in your purse. i want one!" and he reached for it....
the look on his face was priceless! but that s what you get for going thru my purse! haha
Thinkinfyou: That would have been way worse, but I'd have worse problems than the bloody rocket...the fact that it just fell out of there would be more cause for concern.
Mich: I honestly don't remember. I think so, though...the effin' wrapping is flimsy as all hell, though...I think we should write and complain. LOL @ your man thinking your crotch rocket was an O Henry bar...I thought men were taught at a very early age not to go into a woman's purse! Serves him right!
I keep tons of those little OB tampons in all my purses, and they fall out regularly. I've just gotten to the point where it doesn't even embarrass me anymore. It probably should...
