50cents for a tampon

I get so perturbed that they charge for tampons in the restroom. I mean even in our office restroom. Who's going to go in there and steal 100 tampons? And for what? Is there a black market for tampons? It's not like this is something I think...hmmm. maybe I'll have a tampon today. It's a necessity. I'm not thinking about it like a candy bar: um... should I or shouldn't I? lessee.....

Don't charge me for a tampon. See some crazed woman must have gone in there in desperate need of a tampon. And while noone was in there, something awful must have happened. Because when I ran in there with my 50cents today, frantically dropping the coins into the contraption for one measly tampon...I realized the machine appeared to have been crowbared. The knob would not turn, no tampon, no napkin, nothing. I stare at it. I only need one item from this fucking machine. Isn't it inconvenience enough that we have to deal with this once a month? Now, they want 50cents ANd most of the time the machine is broken from some crazed woman who only had 35cents in her purse but desperately needed the one little stupid item in the machine to save her dry cleaned 'office only' pantsuit?

If I could have gotten away with it, I would have smashed the machine with my bike lock and spread all the white little napkins and tampons all over the floor. In a circle, with the satanic star in the middle.

silly me. here's my home office or where all the crazy shit happens.

The satanic star is called a pentagram. I have one on my back porch and perform satanic rituals every morning before work. Worshipping the Dark Prince really gets your juices going at 6:30 am.
