To think changing your tampon in a gym change room is a bit foul?

I was at the gym earlier today, getting changed after my shower in the change room while chatting to a friend. A woman came out of the showers wrapped in her towel. Before my friend and I knew what was happening, she had whipped out her tampon and put it in the bin!

there, not their

GlitteringJasper · 06/05/2015 13:05

Please pm me someone!

I need the gossip!

I didn't know that about rag money Abbey. Had always just thrown pants away when they'd come to the end of their lives. If I give a bag of old, clean pants to a charity shop and mark 'rags' they'd be able to get some money for it then? Socks with holes in? I know Oxfam take bras.

(disclaimer- only read up to page 2 so far so apologies if this has been discussed at length in the next 7 pages, just want to ask before I forget!)

Please can I have a pm?? I'd be happy to share to save Dame the trouble too. Thanks!

I would wear a mooncup next time, take it off in her presence and accidentally spill some on her while walking to the sink.

FannyPlant · 06/05/2015 13:10

I need to know who the actress is.

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 06/05/2015 13:15

LadyCatherine yes I think most charities have a rag person come round. I worked for one of the bigger names so might be worth asking to check at the shop as not sure if everyone takes rags. Rag money is quite high at the moment, so holey towels, old bed sheets stuff like that they can get good money for (it's done on weight)

TBH I am with Bogeyface. I wouldn't do this myself and I don't think it's naice behaviour, but I wouldn't freak out unless there were drips! I might cringe a bit though.

Saw a woman filing her feet with one of those callus removing grater thingies in the gym changing room last week, and all the foot shavings of dead skin were falling on the floor, and she didn't even try to pick them up. That bothered me more than the tampon thing would.

InfiniteJest · 06/05/2015 13:22

Dame will reply if you send her a PM. I don't think she's going through the thread and replying to people who post here. So if you desperately need to know who it is, PM her - she was very quick to reply to me Smile

I know who it is too, as I read what Dame said and PM'd her

She never offered to send people PM's!!! She said she would REPLY...

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 06/05/2015 13:49

So has anyone guessed right yet?

CheesyDibbles · 06/05/2015 13:55

I went straight from cleaning up cat vomit to reading this thread. I am off to lie in a darkened room.

A vom icon would be excellent. Side profile of a yellow smiley face partially obscured by bucket?

I thought anyone can pm people who it is? I've messaged 3 people Confused. This might turn into a game of Chinese whispers.

50shadesofmeh · 06/05/2015 14:01

can someone pm me please?

Gruntfuttock · 06/05/2015 14:02

Precisely, Totality. That's what I did too. I must say I wasn't at all surprised, when I got the reply.

PHANTOMnamechanger · 06/05/2015 14:03

ew that's grim. that sort of thing should be private. It would not be OK for her to wank in front of people would it.

anonacfr · 06/05/2015 14:03

I haven't read the whole thread but someone PLEASE PM me Dame's actress!

ThatBloodyWoman · 06/05/2015 14:03

Private perhaps,like me,you can't for the life of you think why you'd give a fuck unless she's doing it in front of you!

PHANTOMnamechanger · 06/05/2015 14:05

I'm surprised at how little I care about finding out who the 'tampon actress' is! Weird.

^ be honest PrivatePike do you even know what a tampon is? you stupid boy

OnlyLovers · 06/05/2015 14:07

I think it's HBC but would LOVE a PM ...

PHANTOMnamechanger · 06/05/2015 14:10

surely it can't be HBC, she's played the queen mother Shock
