He was just trying to be a good friend when his childhood bestie reached out in desperate need of some period products. Being the helpful guy he is, he came to her rescue with an unopened box of his wife’s pads. But little did he know, his wife would NOT be happy about this pad present! She blew up his phone with texts calling him an a-hole and saying he should’ve asked first. Even the sister-in-law chimed in, calling the whole situation weird!
