Long queue of people waiting to be served in q restaurant lady been served at front pulls out a £20 note and unwittingly drags out a sanitary towel which falls onto the floor and she is none the wiser. Nobody said anything and I felt a bit embarrassed to tell her. What would you do.

Go and pick it up and give it to her.
Why would you be embarrassed over sanitary products?

Are you an adult?

Basicbitch40 · 23/10/2021 18:22

Just hand it to her or say sorry you dropped something

oohmama · 23/10/2021 18:23

Well unless it was a used one, I would have picked it up and given it to her......

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 23/10/2021 18:23

A sealed one presumably rather than used?

I would discretely move it to the side with my foot, no point in potentially embarrassing her. Probably shouldn't feel that way as it's normal but you never know.

A used sanitary towel?

I can't imagine why you would be embarrassed to pick up a packaged towel and hand it to someone

PurpleDaisies · 23/10/2021 18:24

I would just say “excuse me, you’ve dropped something”.

Tevion28 · 23/10/2021 18:24

It looked used wasn't sealed all creased up

She dropped a youknows!

The horror!

PurpleDaisies · 23/10/2021 18:25

A used sanitary towel fell out of her bag? Really?

AmDillDandin · 23/10/2021 18:26

I'd say 'scuse me, think you've dropped something'

girlmom21 · 23/10/2021 18:27

Grin I'm so glad someone came here with this. I almost went there but assumed the OP wouldn't understand and would think I'm a prat!

Ok don't pick it up. Tell her she's dropped it.

Nobody carries a used sanitary towel around in their bag.

I would have been mortified if somebody pointed it out to me but thats me

You really think a woman was carrying a loose, unwrapped, used sanitary towel in her bag?

pinkstripeycat · 23/10/2021 18:34

I have a new unused pantyliner in my purse. It’s not in a packet. It’s about the same size as a note. It looks like a piece of paper and if I dropped it I’m sure most people would think it was a shopping list or something like that.
NO ONE puts a used sanitary product back in their bag!

You’ve led a very sheltered life.

Wouldn't you be more mortified if everyone around you knew you'd dropped it and you had no clue?
RussianSpy101 · 23/10/2021 18:37

@Riapia or maybe just a hygienic one?

Cuntness · 23/10/2021 18:39

My work here is done.

Tevion28 · 23/10/2021 18:44

Well it was all crumpled and unwrapped but possibly unused.

OP posts:
Tevion28 · 23/10/2021 18:46

It reminded me of the time that I was getting something out of my bag at the till and a tampon flew out of my bag and landed near some guys feet

OP posts:
Tevion28 · 23/10/2021 18:47

That's why I can't cope with events of this nature
