Some things can be embarrassing to get (some people are embarrassed about getting things like toiletries) but some combinations are even worse such as a completely innocent cucumber and a bottle of baby oil

Can you think of any embarrassing things to buy?

When I was younger I used to buy the Smash Hits magazine which ALWAYS had a pink cover, I used to get it and hide it under my top until I got home. I don't think I'd ever buy a porn mag from the shop either.

Condoms and waxing strips are all I can think of! I know what you mean though. OH, buying a woman's magazine for your mum, and then sheepishly saying "it's for my mum" to the cashier who is judging you silently. Hahaha.

Some old man in a wheel chair asked me to get him a DVD from the shelf today ... then he told me what one. It was called Latina Jacuzzi.

I find hair dye embarrasing to buy, I always try to find one with pictures of men on it to make myself feel a bit more manly. :joker:

I find it a laugh buying condoms!

Me n my brother mate went into asda bought condoms of all kinds some lube that was in a dildo shaped tube etc... it was funny as hell.

Buying veet hair removal cream is a little embarassing...

But nothing really i find it a laugh.

Condoms,wont ever buy them,also not so long back my periods randomly stopped and I needed a pregnancy test which I was too embarrased to buy and got my friend to buy instead,(and before anyone gets any ideas,I was told it was down to stress that I had missed it in the first place).Other than that I never get embarrased about buying anything,if I had to buy something like vagasil or femmefresh then Id probably be embarrased

LOL!!!!

They ran out of the mens one once so I had to pick up another one. It was one with Davina on the front which was a bit weird to buy especially with the funny look at the till :joker:

I sometimes get embarrassed buying razor blades as well which is a bit ... odd.

ohhh wait for it!

Things to do in Tesco!!!

Get 24 boxes of condoms & randomly put them in people's trolleys when they aren't looking.

Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5 minute intervals

Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the ladies toilet.

Walk up to an employee and tell him?her in an official tone: Code 3 in Housewares... and see what happens.

Go to the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on credit.

Move a 'CAUTION -WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

Set-up a tent in the Camping Department and tell other shoppers you are sleeping over and invite them in if they bring pillows from the bedding Department.

When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask: "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

Look right into the security camera, use it as a mirror and pick your nose.

While handling large knives in the Kitchen Dept, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are located.

Dart around the store suspiciously, while loudly humming the theme from Mission Impossible.

Hide in a clothing rack . . . and when people browse through, say: "PICK ME!!! PICK ME!!!"

When an announcement comes over the loudspeaker, hit the floor and assume the foetal position and scream "NO! ........It's those voices again!!!"

Go into a fitting room, shut the door and wait a while... then yell loudly: "There's no toilet paper in here

LOL! If there's only women's ones I'll either get my sister to buy it or just speedily buy it and hide it in another bag. :laugh:

DvD's can be embarrasing, I bought Sex and the city for my mother's birthday a while back and the man on the counter smirked like a cheshire cat it was so awkward.

Buying books with titles like The It Girl. And it always seems to be some really old fashioned lasy behind the counter. One time I was paying and she gave me this really strange look and then whispered soemthing to the girl beside. When I has paid I was just like 'and yes - i am' and then ran away LOL.
