Strangest things you've seen someone buy

[Estil]

Also, during my time working the hospital grill (2004), many customers ordered burgers or chicken sandwiches w/o the bun. I know that might sound weird now but back then I believe is when the low carb fad was at its peak.

Lord, I hope he wasn't some poor girl's blind date.

Either that or she really is blind.

Eh. Heh. You knew that one was coming.

Siege weaponry? You rock.
The razorblades were for sharpening charcoal pencils,
the rope was for the emergency kit in my car,
the chalk was for fabric marking,
The mineral oil and steel wool were for my swords, which need to be taken care of, (high carbon steel)
And the makeup, well, I am a girl, dangit.

A well-loved game for university students with too much time on their hands goes like this:

• Go into supermarket
• Put box of condoms in basket
• Put in basket four other items that, when bought in conjunction with condoms, make the cashier's eyebrow raise
• Pay as nonchalantly as possible; see if cashier suppresses smile/raises eyebrow

Ooh ooh! I wanna play!

In addition to the condoms, I choose:

• a can of oven cleaner
• fresh squid from the seafood department
• A dozen rutabagas
• Random kiddie movie from the bargian video rack

Ooh ooh! I wanna play!

In addition to the condoms, I choose:

Okay, that one made me raise both eyebrows, I admit. I gotta try. My list:

• 25ft Garden Hose
• WD-40
• Box/bag of diapers (toddler size)
• Long Handled Spatula

[*]Long Handled Spatula[/LIST]

I dont know why but the spatula made me just about choke to death laughing

I've always wanted to run (literally) into a store with my hair messed up, and wearing sweat pants and a rumpled t-shirt, grab a box of condoms, and sprint to the check out. Then run out.

I just think it would be hilarious.

heheh
or with a flushed face and a shirt that's buttoned up wrongly...

Heh. I HAVE done that. Granted, it was winter, so my parka kinda killed the effect, but the smirk on the clerk's face was PRICELESS.

Ex-boyfriend (who, incidentally, is 43, and 12 years older than me) did that several months ago while visiting from out of town (before I met the current bf).... He got back to my place, described it in detail, and then, with a huge grin, said he hadn't felt that embarrassed/exhilirated since college I just about died laughing.

I wanna play the university condom game! Ok, in addition to the condoms, I shall buy:

A box of Go-Gurts
A bag of string cheese
One of those giant Barbie heads that you can style
A box of adult diapers
About 5 rolls of film

Thanks very much. I laughed until I choked.

Meanwhile, my contribution to the parade of weird items is this. I went shopping a little before last Christmas one night after work and ended buying the following, without thinking about it until I realized how weird it all looked when I got up to the checkout counter:

a chocolate pudding parfait from the deli
a small can of goldfish food
a jar of salsa (with garlic and lime juice!)
a bag of tortilla chips
a copy of Pixar's Cars on dvd
a box of condoms
a bottle of "personal lubricant"

Guys, I'm going to submit this game to "improv everywhere" and see if they like it enough to pull a prank with it.

Working at Wal Mart a customer approached me.
her: "This bra seems to have a blood stain on it. Can it be discounted?"
me: "I... uh... well I guess so, but we have other non-blood stained bras."
her: *very casual and with a smile* "Yeeeeah, but I really like the pattern on this one and it's the last one."
me: "..."

She get a discount on it but uh... yeah.
