I had seen this somewhere before, what are the strangest things you can think of to purchase along with a box of condoms?


Yesterday someone came in the store and purchased:

box of magnums
astroglide
toothpaste
2 huge bottles of bleach


what would be the strangest thing you can think of? what is the strangest items you may have rung up with a box of condoms?
 
A good night at home with the Mrs...

-Box of condoms...check.
-Astroglide...check.
-Scented votive candles & lighters...check.
-Silk boxers...check.
-Hockey mask...uhhh...

Not going to impart my thoughts on this one.

I've decided my new hobby (when bored) is going to be to go to hardware stores and buy duct tape, rope, tarps , shovel, bleach, oxyclean, gloves, etc and see how creepy I have to be to raise any eyebrows.

I'm as guilty as anyone else about picking up condoms at the grocery store and trying to mix them in the middle of everything as if that matters.

Bananas
sugar
cookies
bagels
butter
magnums
bread
milk
juice
astroglide
apples
yogurt
shampoo

Who am I kidding? but I still do that everytime. I am totally incapable of buying them without mixing them in a bunch of other stuff.

I feel bad for my friend who is an intern at a walgreen's and has been waiting tables at her dad's greasy spoon diner next door for years - she has to sell condoms to her regulars from the restaurant and see them first thing in the morning with their eggs and toast.

haha. my retail rotation site was a ridiculously slow grocery store. I amused myself by helping people pick out condoms and pregnancy tests from the display cases.
 
This topic brings back memories of high school... One of our projects for a psychology class was to make videos of examples of social deviation and how people react to it. These two guys partnered up together and went to Target and loaded up their cart with condoms, astroglide, razors, whipped cream, tampons/pads, adult diapers, girl thongs, blind folds, etc. Then at checkout they kept talking to the cashier about how tonight was a big night that they were really excited for. :laugh:

HILARIOUS. I would have liked to see that. 🙂

I really don't care about buying anything...I don't understand what the big deal is either. My husband will be like, "Hey come with me to buy it." For real? LOL...I'LL go buy it myself. Who cares? The people are just human too...don't you think they've had to buy condoms and Astroglide before?
 
Why are y'all talking about Astroglide? That stuff has paraben preservatives which suck. The silicone based products are better, because they don't have the parabens, glycerin, or propylene glycol which can irritate. If you shop at Target, you should be able to find a few different kinds. There are some that just have dimethicone and dimethiconol and others that have cyclomethicone too.
The only downside is that they're not water soluble, so you would have to use soap to remove excess. A few ounces will go a long way. Caution: use sparingly.
 
you speak the truth. But your average grocery store does not carry such products.

6 tablets Viagra
Axe body spray

ROTFL! The dog came over to see what I was laughing about (that's a big deal-it's a blizzard up here and she's been firmly ensconced in front of a roaring fire all morning)

I once had a pt (was my dad's momma horse) due to give birth like two weeks after I returned home for summer break. Dad thought he had plenty of time to run into the clinic I worked at and pick up the extra supplies I needed to foal her out, so he didn't get them before the weekend. She decided to foal like an hour after my plane landed-so I sent Mr Orthonut to the local Walgreen's for the following:

1 box KY (baby horses are big, it takes lots of lube to get them out if you need to help in a hurry)
1 pt Betadine sol'n
Unflavoured, unwaxed dental floss
Batteries (for the camera!)
Flashlight
6pk of Mtn Dew 1 litres

He, not being particularly into the whole horse giving birth thing, decided to pick up some magazines also:

Hot Rod (for him)
Maxim (who are we kidding, I like it too)
Equus (for me)

Then he felt sorry for the momma horse, being as we don't give them epidurals or anything, so he bought her:

about 5 lbs of starlight peppermints
5 boxes of leftover Peeps from Easter

Apparently, he couldn't find the KY, so when he asked at the pharm counter where he could get "A big box of lube to go with all this other stuff my wife needs" and "Oh yeah, she said I'd be in deep $hi! if I forgot the batteries" the pharmacist was a bit bewildered (remind you this is at like 1AM in a smallish town and Mr O is a very large, intimidating looking man)
 
this huge matcho body builder guy comes and has a script for epivir: (2 pills if i recall correctly):

He purchases along with it:

-magnum condoms
-enema
-and lube of course

*what was the retro for??? i wonder.
 
I once bought couple of cigarettes and a pint of rot-gut vodka with a box of condoms when I was a freshman in high school. Kids had a weird black market economy back in those days.

ahh memories of working on a breeding farm...

nothing like buying the limit of saline enemas and tubes of KY when they're on sale. Birthin' baby horses isn't always the easiest...

that's why I wanted to do equine sports medicine. Until I got tired of dealing with other people's horses with no ground manners. then pharmacy looked more appealing.

I had a patient bring in a script that had the following items on it...
Viagra
Hand splint

hahaha priceless
 
The worse I've had is a who brought in four scripts:
Viagra
Trizivir
Valtrex
Lisinopril/Hctz 20/12.5

After the first three, I'd have high blood pressure too.
