The comment section
“This so much. I was really confused reading it until the last paragraph where - omg it was in the bin the whole time. Seriously what is with guys who spend their bathroom breaks searching bins!?! I feel like almost every month there’s at least one of these posts about some evil woman putting her bloody tampon or pad in a bin. Do men hide other things in bins, is that why they’re always looking through them and get upset when they’re used to dispose of trash? If so, I would like to make a public service announcement that BINS ARE USED FOR TRASH. If you don’t want a bin used for a particular type of trash, label it (eg, recycling only. Compost only. Secret stash for weed - do not throw pads in here, etc)" said u/Aradene.
“I thought like that she stick it in the wall or something” said u/Impossible_Trainer48.
“I thought maybe she stuck it on the underside of the toilet seat so that when he lifted it up to have a pee it was there like BOO” said u/SheDidWhaaaat.
“Changing a pad = gross. Bleeding on furniture = acceptable. Got it. I should be taking notes.” said u/Comprehensive_Air980.
“I would find it disrespectful to carry a used pad through the rest of the house when there's a trash can literally in the bathroom... That's what the bathroom trash can is for! She tossed it in the trash, not affixed it to his mirror...” said u/Absolem1010.
“From the title I thought she left it open on his pillow or something. Christ on a bike this has to be a teen male troll who is disgusted by periods existing.” said u/TeaLoverGal.
“THIS. It even raised my own eyebrows and struck a nerve in me.” said u/oneofthemqueers420.
“Also why is his brother inspecting the trash so close? Most women will fold or wrap them over so it’s not just open and out idk” said u/Mitchxhell.
“Yes. I was getting this too. The brother sounded very childish. Even if the pad accidentally opened up in the trash, you don't get dramatic like that.” said u/LeWifey95.
“Well I can believe that. There's probably not many women that would willingly go to his apartment.” said u/wanttoshinexx.
“But women don’t pee or poop, don’t you know? Or, at least, that’s what OP and his asshole brother probably think.” said u/AmberWaves80.
“Exactly. I was thinking the same thing, while reading I was like- did she accidentally leave it out? But no! She put it in the damn TRASH CAN you know, where TRASH belongs. Like these are both grown ass men one being disgusted at seeing a rolled up pad in the trash and the other feeling embarrassed for his brother seeing it and thinking it's in any way appropriate to approach his wife with it and make a suggestion that she should carry waste around her until she can go out and throw it in someone else's bin.” said u/Birdboxwithdicks.
“I love the edit about the open-top trash can. Won’t somebody consider this poor man’s delicate eyeballs?!!” said u/analog_alison.
OP's response
After wading through a sea of brutal roasts and criticisms, OP attempted to defend himself with a follow-up edit.
