Today, at work, I had to explain to my co-manager at work what a period was, after he refused to let an employee go change her tampon. Afterwards, he panicked, saying he thought women made that up so they didn't have to have sex, before trying to send her to the hospital and fainting. We're 24. FML

Today, my boss called me in to have a serious talk. The "serious talk" was him asking me to notify him of my menstrual cycle ahead of time so he can "avoid that shit". FML

Today, if it wasn't already embarrassing enough to tell my boyfriend I was on my period, I had to explain what a period is in the first place, how it works, and why it means nothing can happen during that time of the month. He's twenty. FML

Today, after disappearing for an unusually long period of time, my boss called the store phone while sitting on the toilet. Turns out she'd started bleeding uncontrollably from the arse, and as the only other female staff member, she needed me to go help her. FML

Today, I got my period. 10 minutes into a 3 hour exam. Apparently they are serious when they say you may not leave the room under any circumstances. FML

Assumptions

Today, at work, I had some palpitations, which ultimately caused me to become hot, dizzy, and pass out. I couldn't go home because we were so short staffed, and three different colleagues asked me if I was pregnant. FML

The ole paper cut excuse

Today, I cut my finger deep on an envelope at work and started bleeding profusely. When I asked my co-worker for a band-aid, she told me to get back to work and stop making up excuses to try and hit on her. FML

I'm just speechless. How is this possible for a grown-up man in his twenties?

Well, to be honest, finding out at the ripe old age of 24 that genitals can bleed for a week is pretty scary.

My step dad don't like anything period related. If you leave a tampon in the bathroom in will call you to move it. I don't get it bc he lives with 3 females & have 4 daughters from his pervious marriage.

Sometimes parents can and will sign a form saying that the kid can't attend sex ed classes. I'm not sure why, it only opens up opportunities for ignorance and misunderstanding. There's also schools that separate boys and girls and only teach each gender about their own gender. Just trying to find a plausible reason.
