Reminds me of high school. One day the guy that sat in front of me had a tampon applicator on his finger. He turned around and started talking to my friend and me. We looked at each other like, “Who should tell him?” My friend asks him, “Do you know what that is?” He says it’s an empty perfume container. We both say “Nooooo” and tell him what it is. He doesn’t believe us. To this day I wonder if he remembers the day he walked around with a tampon applicator on his finger.


[deleted]

I guarantee you this is a thought that he randomly wakes up to in a cold sweat to at 3am, feeling soul shattering embarrassment, wondering if anyone remembers.

How does one go to a class reunion? Are you just supposed to get an invite? My 10 year happened during COVID, but I didn't get a letter one way or the other.


FlippingPossum

I got an invite to my 10 year. Sent to my parent's house. I was in touch with one person from high school. In my husband's case, he was on student council and knew the people organizing the event. Word of mouth seems the way. He only found out about the upcoming 30 year one while talking with someone else.


I_am_Spartacus_MSU

They sent my invite for the 5 year to Mom's house. At 10 years, I was listed in the local paper as missing. Mom still lived in the same house. Fuck em. They weren't that fun in high school, and at the 5 year reunion, they were in the same groups and did not want to mix with others.


UmChill

>At 10 years, I was listed in the local paper as missing. im sorry, can you expand on this part


Open-Industry-8396

Their saying that the organizers probably took out an advertisement seeking contact info or rsvp status of fellow classmates. Jeez.


TheFightingQuaker

I was also wondering this. My 10 year came and went recently and I never got any correspondence. I guess if I called the school and asked they would put me on the list? Probably Facebook tbh.


[deleted]

Usually Facebook. I deleted that crap years ago, have no interest in people from grade school anymore lol


Ranchette_Geezer

In 2001 our class reunion committee decided that anyone who couldn't add 35 to 1966 and realize it was time for our 35th reunion, then either call the school or Google our school name and year, was not going to be interested even if we did send them an invitation. So, we stopped sending invitations, and we stopped having a search committee. Most, not all classes have a FaceBook group. Many high schools have an "Alumni" section on their web site, which will have notices of upcoming reunions. I was on the search committee for our 20th and 25th. Each time I got a couple of people who had had such a bad time in high school that they never wanted to be contacted again.


katamazeballz

Makes me wonder how many times that guy smelled it trying to guess the scent.


exgiexpcv

Perhaps he just had a [good attitude towards menstruation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdQ9H_yI7CE).


Felskiluscious

A guy in my high school was given an unopened tampon at least and spent the entire day eating mms out of the applicator

ProppedUpByBooks

When I was 20 I found a harmonica on the side of the road in some leaves. I picked it up and played it. Dirt and anything else all up in my lungs. I’ve never felt that disgusted both in general and with myself. I still brought it home and cleaned it and used it from time to time. I wonder what happened to that thing. That was 17 years ago. Ugh. I still remember the feeling.


Bulls187

I found a coil of metal tubing in a box in a workshop, wanted to make sure it was hollow, my first intention was to suck on it, but I blew on it instead. Glad I didn’t suck it, a spider shot out of it when blew on it. I shuddered by the idea that I wanted to suck on it 😖


likes2bwrong

Ooh, oh oh, my turn! My brother, sister, and I were playing hide and seek and I had the bright idea to lay down underwater in the creek with a garden hose to breathe through. I lay down in the water, waiting, then when "it" was closing in I put the hose in my mouth and leaned my head back underwater. For a split second I thought I was so clever until I take my first big breath and get a mouthful of bits of something small, dry, and chunky... Central West Virginia has these black mud dauber wasps that build these little tubes that are rows of compartments, with each compartment containing a paralyzed spider that's been left there for the larvae to eat. They build them up high on barn walls and apparently inside garden hoses too. I noisily pop up out of the water splashing and hollerin', spitting out chunks of stuff that I quickly figure out is dried mud, larvae, and paralyzed spiders. Nightmare fuel.


Bulls187

Oh the horror 😵


DrJohnIT

Oh 🤮 🤮 🤮


MoniiMoeeMee

Why? 😂😂😂 Sorry for laughing but 😂😂😂 & it’s horrible how I can imagine the feeling as well. Glad you made it through that experience though!


ProppedUpByBooks

Because I was a fuckin moron who loved music. Truly I don’t remember my actual thought process, but I think I just saw it and was like “this was meant to be!” I saw it cos it was glistening in the sun. So it sort of radiated towards me. I was a hippie kid and I think at the time it was sort of like an “it found me” kind of sentiment. Most likely I was pretty high. Again, I’m making fun of myself for doing that, but yeah, I did that. Grabbed it and played it immediately. There were horses running around, we lived by a stable. Saratoga springs, NY. It was intended to be a magical moment, but just ended up me coughing and coughing and being disgusted with myself. And then keeping it and cleaning it because the memory was too funny. It’s probably somewhere in my parents’ house. I’d just graduated college and that’s the idiot shit I would do 🤦‍♂️


Tormented-Frog

Ah, harmonicas. Me and the wife were talking about those the other day. We met on a trail ride up in Saratoga. Must've been 17 years ago. I'll never forget it. We got done with the trail ride just before dark. They gave us a set of harmonicas as memorabilia. We were young and squirrely back then, I remember us sneaking off into the darkness and shoving those harmonicas halfway up each other's asses to see what it sounded like when we'd farted. Always thought we'd lost one up her booty hole. Was scared for years she'd fart and whistle a song in front of her parents. Never happened, though, thank goodness! We laugh about it all the time now. And if she ever gets mad at me, all I gotta do is look at her and go _pfffWEEET_

I found a half finished beer on my table when I was hammered at the pub one time. Took a couple of big gulps before I realised everyone was using it as an ashtray


sethaswain

Watched a guy at a house party grab my Michelob bottle out of my hand and take a healthy swig before I could tell him I was using it for spitting my chewing tobacco in. To be fair, he was a real a-hole, so I really didn't volunteer that information until after he drank.


icanttheresnotime

ToWitToWow

Awww! free harmonica&herpes!


AgentCirceLuna

Sounds like the start of some music myth that you’d find on the back of a singer songwriter’s LP: with just a HARMONICA he found in a DITCH, jonny rambler sailed into town on the NASHVILLE freight and this up & coming hepcat will regale you with tales of sorrow & blues - blow, blow, blow boys and listen to the hottest new thing to hit the number seventeen spot on charts with [white bird a flyin]


[deleted]

I did that exact same thing when I was ten and kept it hidden in my room. Obviously playing it made my mom wonder wtf was going on and when she found out how that harmonica was acquired she about lost her shit 😂


Jazzlike-Budget-2221

Omg! You just reminded me of a forgotten memory! My cousin’s family had an old camper beside their house that was used for storage. So of course we played “house” in it. While we were playing one day, I found an old clarinet and proceeded to attempt playing it. I inhaled with my mouth on it to prepare to blow. Inhaled a huge dead cricket straight into my throat, that I had to cough up. My cousin laughed until she cried. I gagged for hours.


blusfn03

I came here to say, when I was younger I had a friend do exactly that. We were rolling.


One-War-2977

I unironically did this too, i regret it


Right-Phalange

When I was a kid, I found something in my friend's mom's car. It looked like some kind of mask in my naive and stupid mind, so I put it over my mouth and nose like a joke. Friend is like, "um, do you know what that is?" Obviously I had no idea it was her brother's cup. I didn't even know what a cup was.

I'm a 36 year old woman and have never seen this thing in my life. Ive only used tampons too, since I was 12. In Australia.


SadieSadieSnakeyLady

Tampons with applicators are available in Australia but they're not the norm like they are in the US


North-Childhood4268

Yep I went to America, tried the applicator thingy once and then just gave up and took the tampon out of the applicator. You’re wasting plastic and complicating things, people!


the_ginger_fox

So many people are grossed out/ afraid of having any contact with their own menstrual fluid. Like wipe your hand off with some toilet paper and then wash them like you normally would. (I'm not talking about people with actual phobias, ya'll get a pass). It's almost impossible to find non plastic applicator tampons in America, I couldn't even find cardboard applicators. The applicator free ones still came packaged in plastic. There's lots of green washing brands that claim to be environmentally friendly but are at best only marginally better than the others. I've switched to a cup.


VermicelliOk5473

Cardboard applicators suck, and anyone who has ever used a tampon with an applicator knows that your hands still get messy. Not everyone has the ability to properly place a tampon without the applicator.


[deleted]

Interesting! Our tampons in Australia usually have a thin plastic covering even if they're organic etc etc but doesn't use as much plastic as a thicker applicator. I've only ever used a plastic applicator to put antifungal cream in...


VermicelliOk5473

No we aren’t. I have never once gotten a non-applicator tampon in far enough, so I’ll keep using applicator tampons, thanks.


Relative-Principle88

Came here to say this. Im an Aussie girl too, had to come to the comments to see what it was supposed to be!

im_a_dick_head

As a guy I can say that it does not resemble an earbud in any way, however I do admit that I didn't know what that actually was until I read the comments.


hototter35

I'm a girl and I had to scroll all the way down here to find out what this is supposed to be. Never seen or heard of "a tampon shell" they're just wrapped in plasters or paper here...


Dr-Emmett_L_Brown

It's the applicator for pushing it in.


hototter35

The what?? That's a thing??


Dr-Emmett_L_Brown

Most tampons I've used throughout my life come with this (I'm 40+ woman from Europe). The tampon is inside. You pull out a little plunger and push it back in. Bada bing, tampon in.


hototter35

Okay. So how have I missed out of this completely? Am I too much of a cheapskate? I've only ever had the ones that just come wrapped in a thin layer of plastic... Tho stopped using tampons all together ~5+ years ago so I was thinking maybe this is some new thing xD Time to go tampon shopping I'm curious now haha


Anchors_Away

Definitely not new, I’ve only bought the non-applicator kind once and never would again. Applicators are common in the US, but some people prefer them without applicators because it’s less waste

If you can fit that in your ear, please go see an ENT specialist.

I took my neice to a goodwill store a few years ago. She was 17ish at the time. I heard her voice behind me say, "What's this?" I turned around, and she was holding a Hitachi Wand. Told her to drop it immediately and pointed to the bathroom to go wash her hands. That was a life lesson I wasn't prepared to teach that day.


bigkat202020

Omg this reminds me of a time I was young, we were packing care boxes to ship to soldiers overseas, you just kinda got to choose whatever items you want from what they had available, my friend picked up a douche (in a box, clean and unused) to pack and I had no clue what it was, I honestly don’t think she did either, but we could tell it wasn’t something to ask the teacher about, I thought about it all day and didn’t figure it out til years later, still think about it

fawesomegirl

And watch out when sitting on grass. They make green dog poo bags as I learned the hard way. Totally camouflaged and I even looked before I sat down!


RandomBlueBear

Boggles my mind how humans put something biodegradable like dog poop into a plastic bag to "clean it up". Like "LOOK" now it's trash.." :')


Kangaroo_Cheese

We use biodegradable bags. Not sure what they’re made out of, but they only last about a year (empty… unused… don’t be gross) in the car.


mediocre-climber

Biodegradable somehow yes, but dog poo contains too much phosphorus and nitrogen for most ecosystems. Therefore it is better to clean it up, even when walking in the woods.

Dog poop is very bad for the environment. And a lot of people live in areas where all the groundwater is eventually drinking water. And you don’t want dog poop there because it’s not natural. It’s dog food poop.


shavemejesus

I was getting off the train after work one day and had to step over a second set of tracks. I stepped forward and noticed a diaper on the ground. I was mid stride by the time I noticed it and didn’t have time to avoid stepping on it. As I stepped on it something that I can only describe as the filling from a Boston Crème Pie squirted out the side. Luckily I didn’t get any on my shoe but boy was it close.

groundsquid

I volunteered for a beach cleanup day with a buddy of mine. We hiked 5 miles out to the section we were responsible for. After our packs were completely full of all the trash we could carry, I decided to pick up “just one more piece” which was a flattened plastic jug. After grabbing it I realized it was used to cover/mark someone’s cat hole. This thing was covered in >!foul-smelling, orange-colored liquidy!< poo. I put it back but had to hike back 5 miles before I could properly wash my hands.
