Women wearing I'm menstrating badges at work

[BadLad]

Seems a department store in Japan thought this would be a good idea.

Sounds like a Gareth Keenan proposal.

I wear a “Fuck off, I’m menopausal!” Tee shirt at work..

On the one hand, can you imagine the pained looks and ridicule from some men?

On the other, what if?
You can admit pain.
Brain fog and 'I want to curl up' are admissible
Early home?
Covered for in meetings?

Being able to run to the loo of you are suddenly flooding?...

Just understanding how your fellow ladies might be feeling x

Wtf
I feel like nothing is sacred anymore

I’m hung over badges?
Can’t stand this stupid job??

I prefer the keep them guessing Tactic ... keeps everyone on their toes 😂

That's just so tacky.

Haha I don't need to wear a badge, people can tell by my mood....

I'd need one the week before, that's when it affects me. Once it's started I'm all sweetness & light again

I’m hung over badges?

My colleague was once so hungover she fell asleep draped across two chairs in her office - nobody needed a badge to explain

P.S. It was on her lunch break
P.P.S Yes, we took unflattering photos

That’s grim

Apparently the suggestion came from staff. Why I have no idea... But they are 'reviewing' the idea (and it wasn't compulsory).

Just saw this on bbc news. I really don't know what to think.

Well, one of my colleagues went out for a 'business' lunch, came back, sat down at his desk and put his forehead onto his computer screen for the rest of the day. Didn't move a muscle. We were getting to the point where we were seriously considering if he had died.

Oh, I wheezed at that. Good effort

I'd like a 'had enough of dealing with idiots today' badge. It would come with a big smile emoji

Why the fuck does anyone need to know. I'm more dangerous in the week before tbh!
