What would you be embarrassed to be caught buying?

back when I was in college, I worked part time in a shop in town. One day on customer services, I dealt with a woman exchanging a nose hair clipper/personal groomer. She told me she had received it as a present, didn't want it etc but hadn't used it. I opened it to examine it and there were LOADS of nose hairs stuck in it and in the box, she wasn't even slightly embarrassed when I pointed it out to her, demanded to see the manager and wanted her refund. Admitted that somebody may have tried it out but that wasn't her problem :eek::eek:

you gotta have a thick neck!

Did she get her money back?

I came out of the family planning clinic and walked into the Finance Manager once and the General Manager another time.

My friend was in town one day when she spotted her previous boss. She really wasn't in the form to talk to him (he did go on a bit) so decided on the spot to stop and 'pretend' to look at the shop window. When he was gone past (at least 10 seconds had gone by) she realised she was staring intently at the sex shop window display.

Lazylump- you didn't tell us whether he alleged they were for himself or his OH ( did he have an OH at the time?);)

He was between OH's at the time but said they were for a friend and none of us checked to see what size they were.

We were just asking him to let us know if he was feeling peckish and what time lunch was.
 
Talking about Lidl......hubby and I had remarked on the number of friends who told us that Lidl was really good for just the cheese, I found this hilarious as having been in Germany years ago , I knew that Lidl was quite well regarded there. Sure enough , we were in Lidl one day and the biggest boast on our road walks straight into us with a full trolley, reddens to the gills and tells us that she is only there for the cheese.Have to say I enjoyed her discomfort.....or had a Schadenfraude moment as the Germans say!!!!
 
The Lady in the off licence at Christmas who felt compelled when she got to the cash register to inform everyone within earshot that the can of cider was for boiling the ham in still amuses me.

Personally when it’s my turn I do find having to buy the Daily Star or Sunday World for work colleagues a bit embarrassing
 
Canned food. (Still buy it though).
Tabloid newspapers (Sun & Mirror).
Underwear (Briefs not boxers).
Hair trimmers. (Nose).

Buying headlice treatment is actually kind of fun...you stand there, scratching your head absentmindedly...and be sure to lean in close over the counter when paying.

Ah that's how you do it! that may explain the question the Pharmacy Assistant asked me then as I was buying a pack she said "is it for a head hair infestation" as I looked blankly at her flummoxed about where else it may be she continued with "is it for yourself?" wasn't till I got home and read the instructions before I realised, in fact it can be used in many parts of the body. I'll make sure to scratch my head while queueing the next time...if there is one lol
