Let’s hear those crazy pms stories….
Hi Dimi,
First, let me say, I dont remember who
recalled that we refer to pms time as when “satan is in town”, but she was
right, we do. There is a reason for that. This so called normal, level-headed
woman turns crazy when this time of month hits. Reflecting back, I remember
times that are now funny but back then I was madder then a grumpy grizzly bear.
Here are two of those stories.
For example, I remember going to
the shops and Wendy (Sister) asking me if I need chocolate.? My reply-no. Her reply, are you
SURE? My reply-yes, I am. Her reply–uhh well ok, if your certain-pms time you
know. My reply-i’m fine. Hours late, hiding in my computer room pissed off as anything. Yep
chocolate cravings slammed me. But, because of our earlier conversation and her
stressing it about the chocolate–I felt like I could not go and get some. Both
things, the cravings and conversation left me feeling back into a corner and I
was NOT happy! lol
You know, during that time of month,
things that are said a million times with no reaction suddenly become a sore
point. For example, Wendy(Sister) has always told me, you got an attitude missy.
My comment is usually-whatever and I go about my business. This one particular
day, it seemed she said it a Million times. That was it, I had
had it. Next time she said it, I told her–if you say that ONE more time I WILL
strangle you like a chicken!!!!! You should have seen the look on her face–lmao.
I still remember that–it was funny. She looked so shocked.
Anyway, pms does bring out the worst in me.
Lets just hope I dont add to many extensive list of pms stories this week! lol
Might as well have fun with it!
I never thought I would be retelling
these above two stories?!?

This post couldn’t be more relevant to me today – I had a baby 7 months ago and it’s the first time that I’m experiencing PMS in over a year!! Total. Nightmare.
My mom also suffers from bad PMS and one afternoon I was driving in Jozi and happened to pass her on a suburban road. She was coming past me in the opposite direction but had to stop to let me through as there was a truck stopped in her lane. As I came towards her I flashed my lights and let off a friendly ‘toot toot’ to get her attention. To my total surprise I look up only to be greeted by my mother flipping the bird in my direction and mouthing the words ‘F@#$ you!!!!!’. What the hell!?
She claims to have thought that I was a rude motorist telling her off. Sheesh lady – pack the crazy away!!
Hi Dimi,
Strangely enough I’ve never really had a “pms” moment.. I just eat a lot of chocolate & sweets hehehehe..
Thanks for the amazing blog! You rock! 🙂
Thanks so much Toyah 🙂
**Only a pleasure.. Fingers crossed!** 🙂 🙂 xxx
I have had 2 bad PMS moments that I can think of right now.
The first, whenever I am PMSing I reach for chocolate and my bean bag, climb into bed and just want to be left alone. This particular night, hubby was watching TV, I climbed into bed with a bowl full of smarties, the bean bag and my book. As soon as I got comfy, hubby came through to the room, jumped on the bed and stuck his hand in my smartie bowl and gobbled up half. I looked at him, he smiled at me, I told him to eff off out of the bedroom and when he asked me what was wrong I threw the bowl with the rest of the smarties against the wall and stormed out. Yes, I went back two minutes later, picked up the smarties and ate them all.
The second was a while ago, I went to make tea for myself, opened up the tea canister and there was no tea left, I refilled the container, put a tea bag in my cup, poured in the hot water and let the tea steep for a while, I then reached for the sugar canister and it was empty. Hubby walked down the passage at that moment and I picked up the hot tea bag and threw it at him because he left both canisters empty. It hit him in the middle of his forehead but has never left the canisters empty again.
A very unfortunate guy happened to make a pass at me while I happened to have a wooden pestle in my hand (Don’t ask). It was that time of the month. I whacked his leg so hard with the pestle, he was limping for a week. Needless to say, he didn’t bother me again!
I don’t have crazy PMS moments (thank goodness for that), but I remember having terrible pain once and going to the pharmacist for Nurofen. You should know that before this I tried ALL medications, and eventually found nurofen, which was the only thing that worked. So I went to the counter, in TERRIBLE pain, asking the lady for a pack of nurofens, she then said: “Oh, are you sure? Cause I can give you Brufens and Paracetamol which is practically the same as nurofen -” In my mind, I leaped across the counter and grabbed my own nurofen, but in reality I just cut her off and said: “I have tried it for many years before, it does not work, just give me my nurofens!” Shame, I was rude, but she should no better than to argue with a woman in that-time-of-the-month pain!
My most outrageous PMS moment was during my first year on university. I was super stressed for my ECO101 test (so lame, I know!) and even more annoyed because I got my period the night before and my stomach cramps were killing me! Once I got to campus, I went to the ‘Academic Reserves’ counter in our library to borrow an Eco textbook, there was an old man at the counter and I handed my student card and asked him politely for ‘the ECO101 book’. He then asked me who the author was and I told him that I cant remember, then he said to me that if I don’t know the author then I cant I have the book and that he doesn’t have time for students like me. I got so pissed off with him, I grabbed my student card back from him and told him that I don’t have time for assholes like him and walked away. It was such an inconvenience, I had to wait for my friends to get to campus so that they could borrow the book for me.
It was such a crazy day, I’m just glad that hardly anyone was in the library at the time or they might think I am a crazy woman. Up until today I still send my friends to borrow books for me from the Reserves (I’m finishing my 3rd year on campus currently) and I probably never will borrow again, he just frustrates me!

OMG where to begin. I have really bad PMS moments an I cannot help myself. My family knows to just leave me alone and stay clear from me for at least 5 days. shame my hubby is always on his guard, it is bad! So it was a family dinner (that my mum arranged) with my 3 brothers, their spouses, my mum & my family. I was having one of those very almost bleeding to death days. So I decided to stay very quite and not say much. My brother asks me if everything is ok, my 7 year old turns around and says. “Mum is having one of those bad nappy days, you better leave her alone or as dad says leave mum alone or she will loose it” Well clearly everyone knew what was going on and my 3 brothers found it very amusing, I was so embarrassed. As for my hubby, I did loose it. I cried till my eyes swelled up. We had ice cream and laughed about it later. Its tough being a women!
REHANA SEEDAT email: dseedat@telkomsa.net With my PMS I really get the cravings for chocolates and I get emotional at cute stuff – the WORST thing in the world for me is finding something to wear. I usually pre-plan my clothes so that it takes me less time in the morning, but when PMSing nothing would look right. I’d stand at my (exploding) wardrobe in tears lamenting the fact that I have “nothing to wear”. I am bloated, my perfume does not even smell right. The worst PMS day of my life was a number of years ago, but I was PMSing HARD core, and the guy I was dating took me to the pancake house, I ordered strawberry and chocolate pancakes, well the waiter forgot the strawberries and I started bawling, sobbing and everything in between, I couldn’t stop no matter how hard I tried, when the poor guy asked me what was wrong I somehow got it out that he forgot my stawberries…. I have never seen a waiter move so fast….. and I have never seen a MOUNTAIN of stawberries like that.
