    My favorite complaint

    Flare replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    i don't mind if they need a pad - it's when they come every single day of their cycle and try to take handfuls of my supplies. I get it - the stuff isn't cheap, but their designer jeans aren't...

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    Flare replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School
