If all she had said was, "OP, you are a much better person than I, I wouldn't have gone near it," I'd bet there wouldn't have been a reaction from anyone at all.
Many people said exactly that but tunapants is the only one being harped on, for good reason.
I am in agreement with you in this thread by the way. I just realized my statement could be taken either way.
well op, I'm really glad you didn't lick anything (), I would have run crying to the cleaning team at my work, mostly because they have all the gloves and stuff to appropriately clean up after all the gross people in my building. I'm sorry in this case it had to be you.
Bravo, OP. I don't think I would have done what you did. I may have gone in search of a dust pan and broom so I could just sweep it up and toss it away, but that would still leave the blood on the floor ::shudder::
I worked retail in high school in a fairly upscale place and found ( and refused to touch, because hello, I was making minimum wage) used tampons, dirty diapers and actual human shit in the fitting rooms at times. People suck.
Omg at getting on PP's case for NOT wanting to deal with someone else's bloody tampon. I'm dying at the thought of a bunch of MLers falling over each other to be the first to get to the puddle of stranger's vomit on the bus.
Here's your cookie. I tossed it.
I'm not touching any cookie you've had your nasty poop/tampon fingers on!!!!!

My college roommate worked at a tanning salon. She had similar experiences.

It is so baffling, because there was a public bathroom right there. Though clearly people can't really master that either.
In college my best friend/roommate was a smoker. I'd go outside with her and during the daytime we could sometimes catch Pam who was the head of a team of janitors for the dorms. The horror stories she told us were unbelievable. It's astonishing how gross people can be.
VeryViolet you lived in *poof* [the tallest dorm] right? Yeah.......................................
It's not like anybody else HAS TO deal with the tampon, it was thoughtful of the OP to do it,
Yes, I agree. She's a better person than I. Because I'd tell the gossipy receptionist what I saw and conspire with her to start a rumor about who did it.
The next person who asks me for Advil would be suspect #1.
Would you try not to touch her during the passing of said Advil?!? B/c Gross!!! (Realize you were being jovial, but think about it!!! Does a person like that properly wash her hands?!?) I hate how I'm getting more grossed out by this by replying, but feel that It Needs To Be Said. For sanitization of humankind.

OMG I LOVED PAM!!!
One Saturday night/probably Sunday morning now DH and I were in my dorm room "watching a movie". Afterwards we went to go outside and smoke. It must have been late spring because it was a warm night and we were barefoot. When we got to the elevator he went to take a step in the middle and I threw myself at him like a secret service agent screaming "stoooopppp". He looked at me like I was nuts and then I had to explain that the puddle in the middle of the elevator was definitely pee and probably a lot of other gross shit. It was there every weekend. I felt so awful for the janitorial staff on Mondays.

Apparently there was a group of boys who liked to make bathroom art..... They wouldn't give Pam names. She was out for blood.

Yeah the guys that lived on the sixth floor were all nuts. When we would go up there you had to announce that you were a girl before you walked out of the stairwell. Why you ask, because for Christmas one of the guys got a stun gun and they would surprise attack their friends.
[Not counting the fact that I worked retail for years and was a janitor for our family business - including a medical clinic - so yes I've cleaned my share of public bathrooms (yech x infinity)]
*** DH and I went to a restaurant with DS2 and Kiddo (when she was a baby.) I went into the bathroom and pulled out one of those toilet liners from the holder above the toilet and a used tampon FELL OUT OF THE TOILET LINER CONTAINER! with the toilet liners I pulled out and landed on the floor.
I was nice (plenty of 'pon experience, after all) and picked it up, told the people at the front desk what happened and promptly walked out the door. Unfortunately, this all happened AFTER we had eaten our meals, so I wonder to this day what else may have gone on in that place. And yes, I crossed my legs and held on until we got home.
