So embarrassing

murphyec

As if buying condoms isn't embarrassing enough for me, I go to the CVS by campus where they have them locked behind glass.  So I have to go back to the front and ask the man (why is it always a man) for help with the condoms.  Then I have to hear 'Assistance needed on Isle 7"  which translates to "This woman needs condoms".  So I wait on the isle, a nice woman comes and opens it for me, but she won't just let me reach in and get what I want, she has to ask me what I want and hand it to me.  Great.  So then I get back to the front where there is now a line formed.  The guy rings me up and another customer comes up and feels the need to comment on how I bought the value pack and he would never use that many condoms....seriously people?  You can't just leave me alone to quietly purchase my condoms?  You have to comment?  I am a grown, married mother who is embarrassed to buy condoms.  They need to create a support group for us.

MH always used to order his online because he HATED buying them in person.  He felt it was worth the shipping charges to spare himself the agony.

 I never even thought of ordering online.  Off to google.

I would say  "well at least one of us is getting lucky!"

I believe he used to use Condomania or something like that... we still get emails from them time time.

This.  And why are they locked behind glass?  Any why can't you grab your own?  Do people really steal that many, I wonder?

What the hell?  Talk about commenting where it isn't any of their business.  And too bad to the guy who wouldn't use that many condoms...he clearly isn't getting any!

You would be amazed at what students will steal.  The pregnancy tests are in the same case, as are OPKs, lubricant and pretty much anything else sex related.

I can't believe that guy said that. Talk about foot-in-mouth. LOL.

That is my #1 reason why I do not buy condoms.

Online is the way to go Murph. DH ordered a jumbo tub of them just prior to TTC when I went off BCP. Needless the say we have a condom store in the bedroom and we obviously wont ever need them.
