[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Awkward store purchases (Page 1 of 4)
Posted: 5/31/2010 10:45:30 PM EDT
Once I was cleaning my desk/PC and some other stuff and went to Office Depot to buy supplies. Bought a few cans of Duster, a big thing of whiteout, 2 Magnum Sharpies and a box of plastic bags. Lady gave me a dirty look like I was a huffer. Did not hit me until I dumped the bag out on the desk and and made the  face at what I just did.
Anyone done the 'murder' one with the gloves, mask, shovels thing?

I bought a machete, blow torch, and a saw one time.... I actually needed all of them though  |

My wife and I once bought a bottle of KY lube and a box full of batteries(for something other than the obvious) and then my wife threw a Cosmo with one of those "50 great sex position" stories on the front.
I always enjoy the late night runs to walmart to get snack food. You throw a few bags of chips, gummy worms, snack cakes and other "munchy" food on the conveyor you get the look. |

I like buying embarrassing stuff at the store. Most of the time, the cashier is visibly embarrassed, and I get a chuckle out of how awkward they are. Tampons and condoms are always good fun.
If the store is going to carry shit like that, why should anyone be embarrassed when they buy it? Combo buys are a different story, I guess. |

Quoted: Anyone done the 'murder' one with the gloves, mask, shovels thing? yes a buddy did wal mart had a clearance table back in sporting goods we were in there one night at 1am buying beer there was a machete a ski mask and some nylon rope in the clearance bin IIRC it was $5 for the bunch plus the beer The cashier lady didn't bat eye |
The twice yearly fleshlight purchase is always awkward but the cashiers at the porno shops are use to that sort of thing

try going into the booths with the glory holes at 3 am on a friday night at the porn shop. thatll get you some looks. Those really exist? Yep, and there is even a movie about 'em (sundance film)  Found it one night under free movies on On Demand. Though I recommend not watching it.
Oh and to the OP, I havent really bought anything akward. I think the first time I bought condoms it was, but after that i realized, why should I feel embarassed, im gettin some

Now that I'm older, nothing really bothers me like that. When I was younger and bought awkward items, I felt strange I guess.
The last thing I bought that probably made them go WTF was a small (2 dollar) baby shampoo at CVS around 10:30 at night. I'm a night owl and I was tired of my GF's puppy smelling like piss. Peed in the cage a couple times during the week while we weren't home. Potty training stage. So, at 11 PM I gave the pup a bath.

I've always thought if I had a lot of disposable income and free time, it'd be fun to go to Wal-Mart and make a game of it with my friends, see who could pick the three items that get the best response from the cashier.
Here are some combos I think would work: Lube, thong panties, My Little Pony doll. Condoms, kitchen knife, rope. Ammunition, lye, halloween mask. Motor oil, rubber gloves, Barbie doll. |

One night me and two friends went to Wal-Mart. I bought Magnum condoms, whipped cream, vaseline, a hunting knife and rope. I stood there in line waiting for her to glance up at me as she rung me up. It was the vaseline that made her look up. I made eye contact with her and said, "Oh yeah." She wouldn't look me in the eye again. The next guy had a box of shotgun shells, a plastic tarp, a shovel and a bag of scott's turf builder. He asked her if he could just buy two of the shotgun shells out of the box because, "we shouldn't need any more than that." Then our third friend who is 6'5" and about 275lb with about 3% body fat bought a pair of pantyhose, high heels, mascara and a bag of dog food. |

You should've grinned and winked at her and then made the Shhhhhh. gesture.

| I was camping, and at the last minute my buddies all decided we should build a fire. So the next morning, we went to Lowe's. I bought a tarp, an axe, and a shovel. I also wanted a gas can but couldn't find anyone to ask. At the counter, the clerk was ringing it up and I said "Oh, do you know if you have gas cans here?" and the clerk no joke, looked me in the eye and said "If you did the hole deep enough I wouldn't worry about it." and laughed. |

I got the start of a lecture about "throwing my life away" as I was leaving from the door guy when I went to walmart for a can of krylon and nothing else late at night.
Might also have been because I hadn't shaved in a month, had a haircut in three, and was in torn and holy jeans and a tshirt, both of which were covered in oil.

Turk: Who behaves that way at a Mini Mart? J.D.: I'm sorry Turk, but when I put that single beer down on the counter and that 18-year-old checkout kid is like, "Oh, big night?" it just pissed me off, you know. I mean, who is he to judge us? He needs to know we're not two lame-o's with nothing going on. Turk: So that's why you bought the box of condoms and the flare gun. J.D.: Exactly. Now whenever he thinks of us he'll picture us splitting a beer, sexing up the ladies, and shooting off flares. You know, like men do! Turk: That does sound pretty awesome. J.D.: I knew you'd come around. |

I usually buy goofy stuff for my friend's birthdays. He had just come home from Afghanistan a week or two earlier. So I went to Walmart to buy a Huge pack of condoms, a big bottle of KY, a head of cabbage, an eyepatch, a Disney Princess bag to put it all in, and a gallon of milk. The cashier didn't bat a eye, but when I got to his house his whole family was there. They all went when he unloaded the bag |

Not really an awkward purchase, but I saw a guy selling an engagement ring at a pawn shop while looking at their collection of guns once. The young man was obviously emotionally scarred by being turned down or cheated on or whatever that had ended his chances with the girl, and was just trying to get rid of the thing.
The clerk looked him in the eye and said " You can take it as cash, or get 10 percent more as store credit. You can use the credit on anything in the store, except firearms." |

I find it odd I can buy a knife , ammo , beer , ciggs and various other things that would raise an eyebrow and not even get a 2nd look BUT if I buy an R rated DVD they need to see the ID and they need to see it RIGHT NOW.
I was like really? you want ID for the DVD but not the ciggs or beer?
