O.k. this is one of those theads where you ask stupid questions about some of the stupid things people do that really bug you,so here's the first one...Why is it when you go to buy sanitary napkins you get some 80 year old woman standing there with a shipping cart in the way staring their butt off at them,like she really needs these things...Yea I know my husbands answer,now I want yours.

Maybe she has an overactive bladder?

The 80 year old is just remembering the good old days.

You must be a man REAMOND. No woman would ever think of the days having periods as being "good".

Personally, I would just figure that she was remembering the days when she was lucky to have rags for sanitary napkins.
Remember 80 years ago, women didn't have much choice, particularly those out on the farm and such. Even in the last 30 years there has been significant advancement.

She was debating whether to use them as instant (no sew) shoulder pads in one of her jackets?

It kills me to say this, but I'm with clarksville on this one.
Whispering now: Shhh, Girlfriend. There are still men, even in here, even the Enlightened Intellectuatii, that are in the dark ages when it comes to women, women's health and other issues. Even if some of these women were in combat along side them, or faced other struggles, they are dismissed as somehow inferior. It is subtle but it is there. I implore you to not go any deeper than sanitary napkins in shopping carts.

Maybe someone suggested sanitary napkins to soak up a spill and she was either trying to remember what the person recommended OR trying to figure which one would work. She may not have realized that there was such an assortment of those things!
Some industries actually do use tampons to soak up hazardous spills. Since they stock the women's restrooms, they have them already in stock and can purchase the tampons cheaply.

Well....she is in a grocery store so she could be a "cereal" killer.

Hi Rawbunzel & clarksville!!
Of course!.....she's a cereal killer! Although rare, they're still bad news don't ya think? How many times have you opened a brand new box of cereal only to have it be filled with dead flakes. What a rip-off. These granny-types need to be stopped imo.

Yeah and that elf guy keeps leaving his puffed up doppings in the lucky charms box.
lots of squad cars carry pads in the trunk to stop bleeding.
want to do something nice get a few friends to gether and get your coppers a teddy ebar or other stuffed animals or two for kids they run into in traumatic situations. Or set up a group to help your local coppers get video cameras or body armor.Ditto for fire men (or Women)
back to the serial killer I keep looking for big bird as the ceral killer I heard there was a new ceral called dreaded tweet.

MAH,
Definitely the overactive bladder. Cheaper than Depends.
OR
She could be a retired nurse who knows that sanitary pads are about the best thing for staunching bleeding if you come upon someone badly hurt and bleeding in a wreck or some other kid of accident. I know people who carry them in their car for that reason.

As long as she don't do what my husbands uncle did when he was sent to the store to buy dinner napkins and came back with sanitary napkins.I bet the guest for dinner thought that was different.

I just read this part clarksville. That's hilarious!! Imagine Dow having a big chemical spill, so they get everyone in the plant involved in unwrapping tampons quickly.

At least she wasn't buying up the tampons to clean her gun with.

Actually, the tampons of which you are speaking, are for smaller spills. I am sure they have big ones for the big spills

Have you ever heard cereal scream out for help?
Of course not.
The pads muffle the sounds.
Have you ever seen the mess that a violent cereal death makes?
Of course not.
The napkins absorb the blood and guts.
very clever killer you've got here.
actually, her friend recommended she get some of those newfangled "stainless silver hairpins".
Why is it? I Really want to know
I saw a lady at BJ's, at the checkout with the industrial size box of tampons.
nothing else.
for one item she waits on a warehouse club line?
sheesh!
Why is it? I Really want to know
who decided to name the place BJ's?
Did they do market research and find out about oodles of positive connotations?
hmm....
