Wrong thread. I think you are looking for the "How did you meet Fotze's mom" thread.

It's funny how many of these things were purchased "for a stag".

I've never heard that euphanism before.

A nude yoga video tape from Chapters. It was my buddy's birthday present however it was still embarrassing. To this day, I still do not know why Chapter's was able to sell that. Nude yoga = ugly naked!

1) purchased some lube at walmart but while purchasing the mother-in-law walked up and asked me what I got

2) Condoms are always a stupid thing to buy but I have to admit I've stopped purchasing anything else with them to cover up the purchase

3) For some reason, I have no idea why, my purchases of Rogaine always make me red in the face (maybe because i'm only 28)

Hahaha Ive got a buddy who's your age and extremely embarassed to buy it, he's paranoid he'll run into someone he knows when buying it(I dont see what the big deal is frankly. When you look at his hairline its pretty obvious whats going on). Anyways, when we went to Vegas he made the purchase there, to ensure it'd be off someone who couldnt get back to him.

Fastforward to the flight home, which occurred onto two days after that bomb scare last year that resulted in airports not allowing liquids on planes anymore. So this young female security officer at the airport has to dig through his bag at customs, and pulls out the Rogaine. She doesnt know what it is and he has to explain it, in front of this long line of people(with alot of college-aged girls in line I might add). She ends up confiscating it, so now he's out like $70 as well as being humiliated in front of a lone line of people, and as we walk by we hear her snickering to one of the other security personnel. Oh man I've never laughed so hard in my life! Seriously couldnt have happened to a more self-conscious guy.

Damn I feel for your buddy but you are right, It really isn't something that I should be embarrassed about and I don't really know if I'm embarrassed about the fact that I'm losing my hair or the fact that I've resorted to purchasing a chemical that I apply to Keep it!

Does that stuff even work?

I'm not quite at that point yet but its in the family bigtime and I notice its not quite as thick as it once was, so I took pills for it for a bit, as a "pre-emptive strike" type thing(until it started really affecting Little Sainters, if you catch my drift). I picked em up at Shoppers Drug Mart, and there is one unbelieveably smokin hot girl that works behind the counter there. Every time I went there and she was workin I'd leave and go back later in the day. So I feel your pain bro.

I'm gonna say yes, but that's because I don't want to feel like I've been wasting my money

Really though I think it has helped slow down the progression, I also have a bad habit of constantly rubbing my head so I'm sure that doesn't help

Sounds like Joey Jeremiah on Degrassi.

Luckily for me, they had some deoderant display right beside the condoms. I kept reaching, grabbed the deoderant, and said "Oh, hi Mrs. X."

I never thought I'd be embarrased buying deoderant, but I was. Yep, bought the pit stick, got into my car, and went to a different drug store on the other side of the city.

Haha yeah it was either get off the pills, or stay on them and make a MUCH more embarassing regular purchase, considering I'm only in my mid-20's. I think I made the right choice...

Haha I cant believe he even told you guys. I really liked what the stuff was doin for my hair so for awhile there I was contemplating doin that as well, I was ready to buy a frickin safe to keep it in. But in the end I decided **** it, I may as well look like the rest of my family when I'm older, at least we can paint our heads to look like football helmets at Stampeders games. That'll be neat...

I've bought sanitary napkins, condoms, Clearasil and a few pregnancy tests, but all pale in comparison to one dreadful purchase: a 1995 sky-blue Ford Windstar.

I would have loved to be behind you in the checkout line that day!

A few years ago, i was standing in line at the drug store at about 1am, and in the door rushed a VERY hurried and dishelved Matt Dillon (yes, the actor), who frantically started asking anyone and everyone around him where the pharmacy was...the guy was obviously in very much distress regarding some part of his body and was beyond the point of caring if anyone knew. I didnt stick around as I had finished up my purchase....but something tells me he got more then a few embarassing items that night.

[Muta]

1) Condoms... but I guess you get used to it. I've just learned to march right up to the cashier and plunk those willy-pockets down and be completely open about it. You have to buy it anyways, might as well not feel ashamed. You're gonna get laid, and they likely have to work. Plus, it can also be good for a laugh or two depending on how you do it.

2) Makeup... went as one of the Matrix albino twins one year for Halloween, needed makeup. It took me half-an-hour with a cosmetician to learn what color to get, and how to apply it. To people not knowing what my motives for being there were, I'm sure it looked extremely odd.

3) Wart remover - Embarrasing. Especially when the box for the shat says 'WART REMOVER' directly on it. Then the cashier looks at you, I'm sure, and either a) snickers, or b) tries to guess in their mind where your wart is located and how big the sucker is. Then, they look at you as disgusting because they have now associated you with having warts... somewhere.

I had to buy a big rubber penis once.

It was for a rugby banquet and we decided that one of the people on the team had been a bit of a d**k that year so we were going to give him the "Member of the year" award. (Pretty punny eh?).

So on top of this award was supposed to be a bit rubber penis, and somehow I ended up being the guy who had to go buy it.

I figured I could be all embarassed about it, or just walk into the sex store and declare to the chick behind the counter "I need to buy your cheapest big rubber d**k" I did clarify what it was for, and she tought it was funny as hell. So maybe it wasn't an embarassing purchase, but it is just a darn funny story.

[Ayrahb]

1. Preparation-H
2. French Maid outfit at the sex store
3. Antibacterial ointment. Why it was embarrassing? Let's just say it was for a sensitive razor cut my ex endured to make me happy. Unfortunately, I had to explain it to the pharmacist, a girl in her 20s.

The first two were for, um, a stag.
