Today, I got my period 2 days early, while being interviewed for my dream job. Let's just say that I don't have very high hopes after walking backwards to the exit door and falling down upon colliding with the wall. FML

They would probably never even have noticed if you had just walked out normally

I started in a fling's bed the night after. We were both painted; it was mortifying.

Unless you sat there for a while and you had white pants on, it probably shouldn't have went through to make it visible. I would've just walked out normally, but quickly so hopefully they wouldn't have time to see it just in case.

Might sound paranoid, but prepare for your period and wear dark colors about 3 days before you are supposed to, just in case of emergencies, especially if you are outside or at an event. Sorry this happened to you, OP. FYL

Nothing paranoid about it, it's what I do :)

I always wear dark pants because I'm clumsy and spill things a lot...

I envy women who are brave enough to wear white or light-colored pants. Whenever I wear light clothes, I spend the whole day feeling paranoid that my body is going to have a spontaneous period. lol

Also, if you own a smartphone, there's an app for that which proved to be right most times. Obviously, you need to have a regular cycle and provide correct data (number of days). It came in handy on many an occasion :)

Nice point, 24. I switch to black undies the moment I start craving chocolate and tearing up while watching Buffy reruns. This has proven useful.

51- that happened to me more than once. I basically banned myself from wearing light colors, shorts or dresses for that reason. And I keep pads in my purse all month long.

Do you have a really heavy flow on the first day or something? I've gotten mine early but it's never been so much it gets on my pants. Your interview must have been really long.

Periods don't sound like a lot of fun.

Who knows. You may get lucky.

This sounds like a scene in a comedy movie.

Unless it was very heavy, YDI. You're always supposed to at least wear a liner. Especially if your expected period is in two days.

Always? Even back in the days where I had periods I never did, waste of money. It's pretty easy to tell if you're coming on and even if you miss it you can always wash your clothes. Besides, those liners aren't supposed to be for early periods, they're to absorb the everyday leakage from the ******'s self-cleaning system.

No one is ever supposed to wear liners. What the hell is wrong with you.
