I had condoms, olive oil and cucumbers plus only a few other items in a 10 items or less line Friday night checkout once, I know there was some beer and wine; but I forget what else. The checker laughed a bit, I made some comment like "she is a vegetarian that wants safe sex and to forget about it in the morning"

I got back to my place and mentioned "thanks" only to be told "why didn't you already have condoms".

After that, I made sure I wasn't in that kind of position again.

Bought condoms and trash bags once at a drugstore because well, that was what we needed in the apartment at the moment.

Anti Monkey Butt Powder

I couldn't find it, so I asked for it by name at Walmart. Went through two different girls who were stocking shelves in the health and beauty section. The first one never heard of it, since it was nowhere to be found in her universe of two aisles that she was in charge of. Pretty sure she thought I was making it up. We walked twenty feet over to the next stocker and she instantly knew where to find it in her section.

Haha..This is funny. And I've actually purchased this as a gag gift for one of my co-workers at work. We all sit at a desk on computers and this one friend of mine would never sit still. Always moving around and getting out of his chair. I figured the reason he couldn't sit down was because he had a chafing butt. I went out and bought it and we all laughed because we all have a good sense of humor, but a week later I brought it up and he actually told me that it worked! And that he was actually really thankful because the calamine powder in Anti Monkey Butt really helped with the soreness! I laughed it off, but he was seriously thanking me! Shocked me completely. LOL. I'm so happy to have co workers that don't things so seriously. But yes when I bought it at Walgreen, I got a look from the store clerk too. Haha,

Currently, we have a lot of cats. At one time we had God's own of cats. We would buy cat food by the flat. One cashier commented that, "that was a lot of cat food." I explained that it was cheaper than Mac and Cheese* and higher in protein. She stared at me and stared at me trying to figure out if I ate the stuff.



* Not quite true but the markup on the name brand mac and cheese is amazing.

Just got 5 gallons of a polymer from Stabilizer Solutions.

And just gave Alky his 1st like. Probably his last too but I was feeling sorry for him.

many moons ago I went to the mall to buy a robin costume. Me and my classmate were doing an ambiguous gay duo theme for Halloween at school. I bought a child's costume because I purposely wanted it skin tight.

The lady at the counter was saying, "awww that's so cute, is this for your nephew?" I replied, "uhhhh no, this is for me."

The look on her face was utter disgust, get outa here freak.

lmao

I had a project that involved shipping dozens of coolers of bio samples week after week. It was cheaper to buy new than to ship the used ice packs back for re-use. I cornered the market on blue ice packs in southeastern Oklahoma for months. I probably hosed Walmart's inventory algorithms.

LMAO, Alke was such a card.

Thanks for the retro. :smilingimp:

I have done a blind taste test with her and she can tell the difference between different types of water. She likes what she likes.
Did you have somebody who didn't know what was in each container give her the samples and record her reactions? It only counts if nobody in the room with her knew what she was getting each time.

Vaseline, candles, bubble bath and a Thomas the Tank Engine board book.
