on my period
For those of you who are quick to ask if (or assume) I’m on my period—I know you think you’re clever and cheeky, but really, you’re just pissing me off. Here’s a handy guide as to when I’d rather you kept your mouth shut.
10. When I’m upset that you’re 30 min late—my time is valuable, dude!

9. When I’m stressed about finals—that scholarship? Muy Importante!

8. When I’m pissed that my phone died . . . again.

7. When I want to eat cookies. What? Cookies are good!

6. When I’d rather stay in bed. It’s cozy in there!

5. When sappy ads make me cry (that one with the little girl on the swing? How can you not cry!)

4. When I take my purse to the ladies’ room. There’s lipgloss in there, too, you know!

3. When you ate your lunch and mine . . . again.

2. When I’d rather see a romcom than some random samurai movie.

1. Anytime! My period? So not your business!

Can You Trust Him?
i always tell a couple of my friends because i tend to get really mad quickly and i hang out with a lot of guys so that just makes it even more awkward but they usually understand and even bring me chocolate which is always nice
I just keep my towel in my pocket like a phone
When my mom tells me to get out of bed and takes my chocolate that i always eat on my period lol
I’m easily provoked, no matter which time of the year. When I’m on my period, I put my guard up and I tend to snap at people less. Not sure why, but yeah.
Whenever my mom pisses me off and i scream at her she asks if im on my period… then i scream and do the hand-slappy thing lol
my biggest period pet peeve is when my friends/boyfriend gives me a sarcasm response. I literally freak out.
i was on a camping trip w/ a bunch of people as well as 2 guys my age. i was on my period and i didnt want to use a tampon so i didnt go swimming. then another mom on the trip AND one of my friends asked really loudly in front of the guys if i needed a tampon! i mean COME ON!!!!!! if i needed one i would get one and plus that is PERSONAL! i know u think ur helping but just MIND UR OWN BUSINESS.
I never bother with a purse. I have many hiding places for supplies: my ugg boot, my waist bad, my pocket, my sweater sleeve, you name it. and nobdy has ever noticed. so yeah!
When I’m on my peiriod I snap at the slightest things and one time I was at the park with a few of my friends and my brother came up to me and I yelled at him because he was making fun of my bag and he just yelled “OH MY GOD MEG YOU ARE SUCH A COW WHEN YOUR ON YOUR PERIOD” everyone just stared at my………
Yeah, it’s pretty obvious since I never really carry a purse, especially in the bathroom, unless it’s that time!
i hate when sumone asks such questions.what do they have got to do with it? its so embarassing when people think so AND they stare at you as if u are some alien under observation.
When my friends all text me at once , are you on your period. Of course they aren’t so they don’t know what it’s like ! So I just awkwardly say yea ..
When I was in 6th grade, I was doing P.E when I asked the tacher if I could sit out because I felt quesy, she asked If I was on my period. I was like ‘OOOHH HEEELLLLL NO’…Well not really but thats what I like to think.
I remember one time in 8th grade i got really mad at the guy i was seated beside. he then asked me, by writing on his work, if i was on my period. ironically, i was, so i wrote back ‘why yes, i am. thank you for asking’ and he started showing it to his friends. the teacher overheard him and gave a big lecture about how those type of jokes just werent appropriate, but just before he sent me off on an errand – i missed the whole lecture! i was the only girl in the entire class no one made period jokes about. ever. FTW
I absolutely hate when people do that! There is something called personal space, but boys think its funny. They dont know what its like to have a period. Im not ashamed or embarrassed that I have my period, it’s natural to me but it does really tick me off that boys can say stuff like that.
Honestly I don’t get annoyed at all! lol I keep mine in the back of my pocket so it kind of looks like a wallet. ^^
when I have the painters (that’s what i call a period) I always have like mood swings one minute I’m super happy the next I’m depressed and them I’m pissed off it doesn’t matter what someone does while I have the painters everything annoys me even the way people breathe in fact I have the painters right now so watch out lol
When I was in grade 6 I told my teacher that I had a stomach ache, so she took me in the hall and asked if I had my period. I got soooo mad! Anyway, I got it a week later, so she was rightl.
I keep a towel in my waistband when I’m in school or whatever – no1 ever notices and you don’t have to bother with purses and the like.
I HATE when people ask me, “what, are you on your period or something?” and of course I am!!!!!! And it just pisses me off more!!!!
omgsh that’s the most annoying thing a dude can do! well maybe one of them but i can’t stand it wen my bgf seys stuff like that. i seriously get furious nd he thinks it’s funny??? especially if i have to take my purse in the bathroom, um hello? i dont really want to leave my purse alone, also make up refresh, omfgsh boys -__-”
I may just be weird but when I’m “on” I don’t bother with purses, I keep one in my waistband so it’s totally inconspicuoso. I keep my phone in my pocket so it just looks like it’s my phone and honestly, NO-ONE is gonna look!
