Young woman to friend: And I was getting so fucking mad at my boss, so I reached into my bag and pulled out the emergency extra strength maxi-pad I always carry, and walked into his office and threw it at his face.

So I scream, “what the fuck are you doing?” and he looks at me and says, “I want to see if the commercials are true.”
