do you feel stupid buying toilet paper ?

Nope

try buying Pain Killers, Razorblades and Sleeping tablets from boots and see what kind of looks you get

Then you'll know what its like to be embarassed. Daft thing is, in that particular shopping basket I:

Bought sleeping tablets for the wife (she works nights and struggles to sleep during the day)
Razor blades - because my razor needed some new blades and i wanted a shave lol
and Pain killers because i had a head ache.

Woman in boots almost called her supervisor i think !
 
Yeah. As Karl Pilkington once said(and I paraphrase).

"Always buy some food along with toilet paper. That way the checkout person thinks 'Well... he's eating and he's thinking about later'. Toilet paper on it's own just makes it look like you're dying for one".
 
when we used to pornbomb people's rooms in halls, the correct technique for purchasing grumble mags was to stride up to the counter with the worst smut you could find (50+ was a real favourite) slap it on the counter and exclaim for all to hear "Just the jazz mag thanks"

Haha, that's great! The best technique for buying anything slightly cringeworthy is to be really open and confident about it. Everybody has sex and wipes their beeeehind so what's the problem?!
 
I always wanted to buy a certain kind of Toy for the missus (nudge nudge wink wink) but never had the bottle to go in and buy one.It's a shame because they look like fun lol :p

I used to work in Ann Summers (!), so I can give you some advice:

Just go in and buy one. Just be 'who cares?' about it all. So many people buy them for joke presents and hen do's that it's not a 'dirty' purchase tbh. If you work there you're so used to seeing hardcore sex toys that you don't care anymore!

Rampant Rabbit was all the rage by then if you need a buyer's guide!

Do you not have anything better to do...the only way it would be an invasion of your privacy is if they had a try before you buy policy....
 
I don't get embarrassed, no.

This also reminded me of a time recently that I had gone for a big shop with the Mrs on a Friday night. We forgot toilet roll and were down to the last one at home.

The next day me and a mate (who had stayed over at mine) took a trip to my local Sainsbury to get only toilet roll. There we were, stood together buying a 16 pack of Andrex finest in the quick checkout isle. I turn around and there is a woman who I work with just kind of looking at my friend and I, looking a bit rough from the night before, in the queue, with just a massive pack of bog rolls. THAT was a little awkward.

I did just laugh to myself and proceeded to pay and get out.

For condoms I used to bulk-buy from Tescos, it seems less embarrassing just buying three big boxes and finding the shyest looking checkout jockey.

Most embarrassing thing i've ever bought over the counter was that durex play lube stuff that warms up. I was with the girlfriend in boots and went for the condoms and she added that stuff too, I felt like all eyes were on me as I walked to the counter. And boots being boots it had to be a gorgeous woman serving me too didn't it. Bad Times. : \

I've always been un-easy buying condoms. Always used to go to the local supermarket and get them from the machine in the toilet instead :p
