Ok, I guess I’m still a little upset over my friend’s reaction to something so small. And it wasn’t like I intended to gross her out.

So I was meeting my friend at a café today. This place was pretty packed and busy, and not the cleanest. There were little fruit flies over the trash cans, and the restrooms can use more frequent cleaning. 

Anyway, it was a heavy, heavy, heavy flow day for me and I couldn’t wait until I got home to change the pad. So I used the ladies’ room at the café. I wrapped the used pad in wrapper and intended to discard it in the trash. Unfortunately, the trash can was already overflowing with paper towels and other trash. So I took it out to the trash can by the drink counter/café entrance and disposed of it there. Well I didn’t know the wrapper had unraveled and the super soaked pad was fully exposed. She came back to the table complaining that some asshole threw her pad unwrapped (it WAS wrapped!) by the food counter and “period fruit flies” were buzzing all over it. 

I mean, I get that it wasn’t the ideal situation but the trash can in the ladies room was already overflowing! I just felt she was being super dramatic and was overreacting a little bit. And no I didn’t tell her it was me. I mean, am I right to be a little peeved by her drama?
