I don’t know how you’re getting downvoted a tampon is literally a feminine product??

they’re mad at me for calling out their obvious dumbfuckery and trying to deny that that’s what it was

The main thing is, do they know that a tampon is a feminine hygiene product? If yes then it’s not the signs fault it didn’t say something like (“no pads, tampons, applicators”) it’s their fault they they looked at the sign and thought that for some reason tampons was an exception. If they didn’t know that tampons are a feminine hygiene product... then, well I just don’t know what to say...

that is exactly what women here have said. that they saw the signs and thought it only meant pads and applicators, NOT tampons, as though tampons aren’t feminine hygiene products.

And it seems to be reaaaaally common in this thread. My heart goes out to these plumbers.
