Another good thing about being male, good luck creating an app to track my mood swings

I have a bit of the old 'Conspiracy Brother' in me, anything can set me off!!

 

[Shell]

ohhhh you're so lucky Shell. PCOS is the devil.

Gough HBF knows when I ask him to add salt and vinegar chips to the shopping list that he needs to lay low for a few days

I'm just a little nervous being on this thing for so long, can it be dangerous?

They haven't conducted enough studies to have an answer conclusively. From what I've read, a lot of women think it effects their long term fertility BUT that is normally because they went on the pill as a teen and have forgotten what their usual cycle is like, e.g. it goes back to being irregular and it freaks them out.

It can increase the possibility of dangerous blood clots though, especially for those with a family history.

Yeah the blood clot is what I'm more worried about.

I always tell people when I have my period, because I complain about it A LOT

You don't consider that "oversharing"?

If someone said that they were uncomfortable with it then I wouldn't say it, but all the women here are the same.

Thank **** i don't work with you. But seriously you shouldn't have to wait for someone to say it's inappropriate, would have thought that was just commonsense.

Maybe I'll stroll into the lunchroom and announce "Afternoon everyone, geeez that shit I had was absolutely epic, piled right over the waterline and had to use half a dunny roll to tidy up, Rogan Josh will do that to ya!"

 

[Shell]

God the stories I could share about my periods right now... you guys would be running for the hills..

As I said, the majority of the people I work with are women. We all talk about it together. It comes down to context...I won't talk about it in an interview with a potential candidate, but if we've got a morning meeting with just the gals, or the men I've known for ten years who I know won't care, then one of us will make a comment. I work in a family business, all of us senior managers/execs have known each other for a decade. There's no secrets in this group.

Oh yeah, I've had to shave sometimes with a really bad hangover.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

If you ask me, talking about menstruation is not on in any setting. Period.

When people talk about shark week I have to double check if they mean the Discovery channel or the female version!

Shark Week makes me think of this scene from Step Brothers.

I went to kmart today and for some reason they have moved the registers/checkout to the middle of the store. I felt sorry for the poor lady whose job it was to check every single person leaving the store for a receipt.

What possible good reason is there for the checkout to be in the middle if store? I can't think of one.

 

[Whaturest]

Can't understand just why some people just have an enormous pleasure to torture animals, creatures an so on, and after all they rest happy...
I'm not able to understand this...

A friend invited me to her 22nd birthday. On Facebook, the event is called '21 + 1 Party". Why not just call it your 22nd birthday party.

Been like that for a good while. Really irritating.
