Went to the pharmacy to get a box of condoms and they asked if I wanted a bag. I said "no thanks, I'll just turn out the lights."

Take my wife, please!

That’s crazy. I literally heard this is exact joke today on a short; I think Warzone and dude was downed and his OPP said tell me a joke and if I laugh I’m let you live.

Wild to me that’s shit like this happens. Like never heard the joke then twice in a day.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That would be crazier. Was it you?

[–] TwentySeven@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

For here or to go?

I once bought a dog collar and leash, a pack of darts, and a child’s car seat at the same time. The Target cashier looked at me hard before I put it together, then we both cracked up.

I once bought a six pack of beer, some vaseline, a cucumber and rubber gloves. On a Friday afternoon. Didn't think about it until I got a very weird look from the cashier.

[–] TheKMAP@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't get it. A baby is going to throw darts at a tied-up dog?

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, leashed up baby as darts practice. The car seat is just to ensure the dartboard gets there safely.

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

Baby on board!

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

The free market wants what it wants I guess.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I can't put it together either

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 39 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I'd also be weirded if the condoms were in the eggs isle

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing weird about making sure people don't accidentally fertilise their eggs

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I think that was a potential "something else" aisle.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

Fun fact: in Finnish, a dick is sometimes called an egg.

[–] cannibalkitteh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I used to try to make it as awkward as possible. Condoms, lube, a bottle of wine, and whatever phallic fruit I could find.

You have to follow up any looks or double takes with something exra.

"Oh don't worry. That's for after." wiggles eyebrows

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Buying a dog collar & leash would add some awkwardness points.

Cashier over the store PA system: ..... ummmm .... price check .... price check ...... umm... yeah ... in condoms ... ribbed .... cherry flavor ... costumer says they were on sale .... price check

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Cashier trying to scan box of condoms: .... beep ... boop ... beep .. boop ... [over PA system again] ... ummm ... supervisor ... can I get a supervisor

meanwhile line of people is getting longer behind you

You: ... hey just forget it ... I don't need the condoms .... I'll just pay for the lube and shovel

Cashier: ... it's already scanned as cheddar cheese and I need to clear it ... I need a manager to do that

Line is getting longer behind you and people are mumbling and grumbling

Cashier: .... supervisor ... um ... yeah ... supervisor ... check out #4 ... price correction for condoms please .... supervisor

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Supervisor who is younger than the cashier arrives: .... what is it Richard? did you mommy bring the wrong coupons again? ...

Richard the cashier: .... that was just the one time and it was only for 50 cents off dog food ... and besides that was two years ago before they demoted you from store manager ...

Line of people shifts to new cashier that just opened next to Richard ... people are grumbling and saying things ..

Supervisor: .... OK ... What is it? ...

Richard: ... yeah this guy was buying this stuff and condoms and it came out as cheddar cheese for $14.99 and I need to clear it but it won't let me

You: ... hey, I'm in a hurry here and I really don't need the condoms, just forget it OK?

Thank you for taking your time to write this, I appreciate it.

[–] rugburn@lemmynsfw.com 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I usually throw some condoms in my cart to make the ski mask, duct tape and shovel seem less embarrassing

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

I um, let me have one of those porno magazines, large box of condoms, a bottle of Old Harper, couple of those panty shields, and some illegal fireworks, and one of those disposable enemas. Eh, make it two.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Buy a can of Pringles and a sponge to make it less awkward. The cashier will assume that you're going to have a nice time with someone, have a shower afterwards and then eat some chips.

[–] Spookyghost@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I dont think Pringles can legally be called chips

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago
[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

what business does anyone have bringing a sponge into a shower?

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Using it to wash yourself???

[–] Klnsfw@lemmynsfw.com 19 points 3 weeks ago

Seriously, you should also buy lube.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 weeks ago

Go to a line with your preferred sex and give em a wink

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

the problem is whatever you throw in the cart with it is now evaluated in context of the condoms.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Hot take: If you're immature enough to be embarrassed buying condoms, you shouldn't be having sex.

Seriously, the checkout assistant couldn't give two shits about you, you're just another face they'll forget the second you walk out the door and that's if they have their brain switched on while working what is a very repetitive and mind numbing job.

[–] Paradachshund 23 points 3 weeks ago

We all gotta start somewhere. No need to shame people for something many experience.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

It’s not about maturity.

Society has this bad habit of conditioning people for or against certain ideologies, and sex and contraception are two hot button topics that could easily make a timid person even more intimidated. There is also the gossip factor in case the person is going to a store with people they know working or shopping there, and are concerned about “word getting around” about them being promiscuous.

[–] elephantium@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Meh, that's not even a lukewarm take. It's a common sentiment.

BUT

It won't make embarrassed teenagers any less horny.

[–] TheSambassador@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

First time I bought condoms, I also bought goldfish crackers.

There's one called dogeposting, but it's not very active.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 10 points 3 weeks ago

Such Weird. Much Awkward.

[–] KAYDUBELL@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How the hell is buying condoms awkward?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"Price check on extra small condoms!"

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I still don't see it.

[–] nl4real@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Don't you just hate it when the cashier thinks you're getting ready to board Mr. Bones' Wild Ride?

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 weeks ago

I would go into the pet section and buy some collars and leashes too. Then I'd smile at the cashier and say I'm having a party. And I'd buy like....10 packs of condoms along with them, maybe some lube too

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

You don't need condoms for jerking off like me.
