What would you be embarrassed to be caught buying?

I found myself stuffing my purchases into my handbag yesterday when I heard someone behind me say "hello".

The guilty makers?

A packet of cigarettes......and a scratch card!!

Don't think there's much else that would embarrass me except just about anything the pharmasist keeps behind the counter....thinking wind tablets, headlice treatments......
 
Pharmacy stuff doesn't bother me at all, whatever the complaint. Neither does buying 'women's stuff' and it never has - remember buying tampons for my sister when I was about 14 or so.

As a real music head (with taste, I like to think) I'd say the only purchase that would embarrass me is a CD of some crap for someone else - I'd nearly feel like I'd have to say "It's not for me you know"
 
when i suspected i was pregnant i went to buy a pregnancy test but couldn't do it in town (very small) where i worked because i knew word would have gotten back to the boss before i got back from the chemist. turns out the girls had me sussed by 7 week anyway with all the vomiting and so the whole town knew before i even told family!

My family argue every year about who has to go in to the shop for the latest Westlife, Josh Groban etc. CD..although himself says he's just glad Robson and Jerome didn't make any more CD's!!

Problem solved this year though as we buy all our music from itunes

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.

Possibly this [broken link removed]

Or viagra ( but then there are so many reputable companies online...who even email me on a regular basis).
 
Cinema tickets for Harry Potter especially if i haven't been able to borrow kids for the occassion
 
Whilst returning with the lads after a weekend away in the Uk. One of my mates got his hand luggage searched because something metel was showing up on the detectors.

We were all looking on as the security girl started emptying everything out and going through it. She even opened some purchases he made and guess what he had a load of edible ladies underwear.

I never seen anyone so red faced in my life and this was about 5 years ago and he still hasn't lived it down.

LOL. Well, not me, obviously.

Lazylump- you didn't tell us whether he alleged they were for himself or his OH ( did he have an OH at the time?)
 
Some people are embarrassedto be seen in Lidl. A freind of mine recently met on of her golf buddies in Lidl and the lady told her she was only there to collect her neighbour even though she had a trolley full of goods.
