I had to get an ointment one time for an embarrassing ailment but i sent my mother to get it instead. Also, i have great difficulty buying condoms over the counter. I always wonder what the people around me are thinking or what if someone i know sees me. Sometimes i wear a hat buying them and usually wait for an opportunity where there is little or no queu before making my moveā¦
Made a stop into Boots about 2 weeks back to purchase some rubbers,picked out a nice multi pack assortment and even decided to get a bit of durex feel lube as herself is kinky outā¦ seeing there was no que i made a quick dart for the tills hoping to avoid any akward stares! everything was goin smoothly until the over friendly female cashier asked me to become a loyalty member(I should have said no thanks) 5 of the longest minutes later and with about 7-8 middle aged women looking on at me and my very visible purchase still on the counter I left with a red raw headā¦needless to say the mens jax in the local will do me fine.
:ph34r:
Dunph, what are the birds like in France? Putting it about a bit over there are you?
was a bit embarressed myself about the first time getting a pack of rubbers too, and then realised why should I be? should be happy that Iām getting the ride and who cares who knows!
I generally hate having to purchase anything in a chemist.
They are splendid.
There was that great old gag from the tome that the Virgin Megastore was the only place in the country where you could buy condoms over the counter about the lad who kept going into the Virgin Megastore and coming out with a packet of condoms because he was too embarrassed to ask for the latest Daniel O Donnell album.
Key word in the above post.
Boots is a disaster. You could often end up at he counter with a 12 pack and itās a 2 for 1 offer and they nearly force you to go back for the 2nd pack with all the queue watching
I remember in college a mate of mine was too embarrassed to buy a kama sutra book in Easons so he asked me. I was 17 at the time and the bird at the till asked me my age. I said 17 and she said that she didnāt think I was old enough to buy the book. So I asked her to check with a manager which she went off to do. A queue formed behind me and the manager came back and confirmed I was too young to buy the book. I argued that this was wrong because I was legally allowed to have sex and pointed out that the book was actually for my 18 year old mate (neglecting to mention that he was statutory raping his girlfriend on a daily basis). In the end I didnāt get the book but I did cause a big scene.
Thereās no way you would have had the confidence to argue with them.
Sometimes my contrariness outweighs my lack of confidence.
Why would you be embarrassed buying rubbers?? Only in this country would fellas get embarrassed for acting responsibly.
Iāve bought underwear and sex toys for girls as presents in the past and the only time I was slightly put out was when your one behind the counter got embarrassed when showing me how to clean a vibrator, I then copped she thought it was for me (as all the others probably did) but I just asked a few casual questions and kept my cool and got out of there.
This is bad, and I must specify IT WAS NOT FOR ME.
A friend asked me to pick it up for him and I had to oblige. I felt like a freak as I put it on the counter, your man on the till looks at me with a knowing smile and says āAre you going to the match Saturday?ā as he put the Munster Rugby jersey into the bag.
Oh dear. I hope it wasnāt for RTT. If the lad was too embarrassed to go into the shop and buy that piece of trash then i donāt know how heās going to wear it.
did you touch it
I had to.
I still have the marks where it burnt into my fingers
I was sent into Brown Thomas to buy a handbag once. They didnt have it on the shelves so the very attractive girl had to check the store. I was standing there in my hoody and tackies while I waited. That was the hardest I ever worked to get my hole.
I regularly buy my Wexford based sisters Mac Bronzer (colour golden) in Brown Thomas - thereās no Brown Thomas in Wexford. Always seems a bit gay.
Had to buy this cream for my balls once, which was embarrassing enough. Did some yoke years ago when pissed and decided Iād caught AIDS or something (bad AIDS now) so went & got the test done. All was okay in the end but I reckon I was stressed out so much Iād convinced myself Iād picked up something and the mental anguish caused some kind of rash / itchiness down there. The doctor prescribed some kind of generic ball cream that did the trick.
Actually does ābuyingā the STD test count for this thread? Some male doctor shoving a swab down your japs eye. Hardly ideal - I think the test has now progressed to such an extent that part is not required.
Following on from that, I had a lump on my left ball a few years ago so went and got that checked out. āBoughtā the GP visit, āboughtā the scan / ultrasound (whatever it was), āboughtā the specialistās visit. Another raft of men stroking my balls, which was rather embarrassing indeed. One of the three of them even wore gloves, I reckon.
I think that they intentionally go deep with the third swab just to teach you a lesson
