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 months ago (1 children)

That would be crazier. Was it you?

[–] TwentySeven@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months 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.

[–] varjen@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

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 months 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 months 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 months ago

Baby on board!

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

The free market wants what it wants I guess.

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

I can't put it together either

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[–] cannibalkitteh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 3 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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 months ago (1 children)

I dont think Pringles can legally be called chips

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

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

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

Using it to wash yourself???

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

Seriously, you should also buy lube.

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

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

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months 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 months 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@lemmy.today 23 points 3 months ago

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

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

Such Weird. Much Awkward.

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

How the hell is buying condoms awkward?

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

"Price check on extra small condoms!"

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

I still don't see it.

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

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

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

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