How fucked up is this?

[Texasgal]

My brother ( who is visiting ) is at the grocery store, he asked me if I needed anything. I asked him to pick me up a box of tampons.

He said NO WAY!

He is FREAKING and refuses to get me a box of tampons!!!

What's the big deal? :wtf:

Men? Can you help me out here?

[Taverner]

1. I get tampons for wifey ALL THE FREAKIN TIME

I mean, WTF??? Is he worried the clerk will actually think they're for HIM????

[Texasgal]

3. Tav... I have NO IDEA!!

He said that I scarred him for life when he was younger..... :eyes:

Me and my friends used to make him go and get us pads at the store and then we'd laugh at him! But JEEZE! That was a LOOOOOOOONG time ago!

[Taverner]

6. You scare me....

:scared:

[Texasgal]

10. Do you have sisters?

Then you have no clue!!! :evilgrin:

[Taverner]

17. Nope no sisters

Just one brother....ahhh the simple life...

[Xipe Totec]

31. One sister, four brothers

It was an even match...

... mostly :scared:

[Wapsie B]

2. Good god I'd have no problem with it.

I wouldn't flash it around but I wouldn't do that with a box of condoms either. No big deal to me.

[Texasgal]

4. Can you PLEASE go get me a box of tampons then?

:rofl:

[Wapsie B]

9. Sure, no problemo.

:rofl:

What kind?

[Texasgal]

12. Well... I prefer tampax brand..

with the disposible inserters!

Thanks!!! :rofl:

[PassingFair]

38. As soon as BrokeBack Mountain comes out on video....

make sure you ask him to stop by BlockBuster and pick you up a copy......

[GOPisEvil]

5. Oh good lord...be a freaking adult.

:eyes:

[Texasgal]

8. No kidding...

I mean shit... he's 32!

[GOPisEvil]

11. Time to get the fuck over it.

:D

[Shine]

14. Guess he doesn't have a girlfriend, eh?

:eyes:

boyfriend, perhaps?

[GOPisEvil]

18. I don't have a girlfriend. But I know how to be an adult.

It's not that hard. I guess some guys are just too macho. :eyes:

[Texasgal]

20. Hey!

There's an idea!!!

DAVID!!! Will you bring me some tampons?? :rofl:

If you didn't live on the NOSE BLEED side of town it wouldn't be so bad!!! :P

[GOPisEvil]

22. If I were down in Bubba-land, I would.

:D

[Shine]

26. You're right. It's not hard to be an adult. Well, sometimes it is.

Hey, I kinda feel sorry for the guy. He sounds rather pitiful, actually. Who'd want to be with someone like THAT?? I sure as hell wouldn't....

:eyes:

[Texasgal]

19. No girlfriend...

or boyfriend... for that matter...

He's divorced.. NOW I KNOW WHY!!!

[Shine]

Feel angry....then feel sorry for the guy.

He sounds kind of pathetic, no offense.

[Texasgal]

23. He is...

What a freakin' weirdo. I am getting ready to ship off to our MAMAS house if this shit continues!

[Shine]

27. Yeah, that's right!

Let HER slap him into shape!! Good idea.
:thumbsup:

He's 32, but he frankly sounds like he's emotionally about 11. Bummer.

[trof]

7. I had to kind of grit my teeth the first time, but I got over it.

And this was in the 60s.
We weren't so damned liberated back then.

And then I thought "Well, it doesn't embarrass me to buy toilet paper.
She (the checkout 'girl' was ALWAYS a 'she') knows what I'm going to do with it. Why should Kotex be any different?"

I've come a long way, baby.
;-)

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Funny story.

A friend of mine,when he was a child, asked his mom what she wanted for her birthday. She said "I would love some more bath powder, the one I like is in my closet in a blue box".

So, friend proceeds to walk to two blocks to the pharmacy to purchase said item.

Pharmacist calls friend's mom and wants to know if she is okay because friend has just come in asking to purchase a box of Tampax for his mom.

ba doom boom, tis.

[JVS]

15. If he buys them the cashier could assume he's taken and there will...

be no joyous sexual encounter. That's just too big a risk to run!

[ohiosmith]

16. Help yourself.

[Texasgal]

21. Thanks...

Compak RAWKS!!! :P

[Elidor]

24. Apparently, he feels insecure about his masculinity

The mere thought that someone *might* question his masculinity gives him the shivers. Tell your brother he's a closeted cocksucker.

[latebloomer]

33. Gay men don't use Tampax!

Why would anyone question his masculinity? They're much more likely to think he has a FEMALE s/o!

[Dave Reynolds]

25. I have done it for step-daughter, wife #1,

and anyone else who asked.

It's not like I think anyone will assume they are for me!

What would I use them for, to dab my lipstick?

[SeattleGirl]

28. LOL!

:rofl:

[Dave Reynolds]

29. *grin*

Hell, if I post in another thread about my underwire bra, I might as well keep the ball rollin'!

[Kali]

36. snarf

:spray: :rofl:

[Texasgal]

30. Well...shitsky

Looks like I am NOW off to the damn store to buy my freaking TAMPONS! :eyes:

Good GOD!

[Orsino]

32. I don't understand this.

Be proud to be the one she can ask, I say.

[caty]

34. Would you buy him

this?
http://www.oneonfun.com/gags-and-gifts/weener-kleener-soap.html

I wouldn't have a problem with it.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. I'll never forget the time I bought a box at CVS,

and it didn't have a price tag on it....and these were the pre-upc code scanner days. The checkout guy asked me to get a package with a price tag, and I told him it was the last box. He flipped! He said, "Oh great...now I'm going to have to get a price! I hate this!"

Poor guy was so freaked about having to say "tampons" over the P/A. :eyes:

[Kali]

37. I gotta admit - I'm the one who needs 'em and even I am embarassed

not too the point of not buying them but still....I think husband is less embarrassed than me. We call it the big purple box from an old Ghalager (spell?) routine.

[UncleSepp]

39. Does he buy toilet paper?

Seriously, wtf is the big difference?

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. What a dipshit. Talk about being insecure about one's sexuality...christ.

That boy need a therapist.

[AwakeAtLast]

41. Tell him they are good for fixing leaky boats

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

42. Similar situation.

Ex-fiance and I went grocery shopping. He would not allow the sealed box of tampons to even TOUCH any of the other items in the cart. He finally relented to the extent that they could touch only non-food items.


:eyes:

[TheBaldyMan]

43. my sis once asked me to get her some

being rather innocent I said 'OK, What size do you take?'

[tuvor]

47. Hah!

:spray:

[NMMNG]

44. Well duh!

If he is seen with a box of tampons then people will assume his SO is on the rag. If she is on the rag he can't possibly be getting any that night, and possibly for the next few nights. Therefore, being seen with a box of tampons is a direct threat to his perceived masculinity. It should be obvious to everyone. :sarcasm:

[KitchenWitch]

45. I do not make a habit of it

but once in awhile I ask my husband to pick that kind of stuff up for me. He is the only man who has ever done that for me.

[tuvor]

46. Maybe he's a first-timer.

I don't exactly care to do it, but I will if necessary--NECESSARY. :)

I think I've done it about three times in 15 years.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

48. Could it be he's easily confused?

After all, they *do* come in a range of more sizes, styles, types and configurations than some auto parts. You might be better off getting them yourself. He might come back, proudly smiling, handing you a box of Jobe Plant Food Spikes!


:shrug:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

49. Your brother is a wuss.

Slap him across the store a time or two and he'll get the picture. AND the tampons. :rofl:

[JI7]

50. how old is he ?

seriously, he needs to get over whatever issues he has in buying tampons .

[tuvor]

51. You know what I think it is? (It's not about getting over "issues".)

You ask the lady what kind, and they tell you regular. (Or whatever.) You get there and you're confronted by a fucking WALL of tampons. Light, extra light, regular flow, heavy flow, the assorted pack, designed by a female obstetrician, fits in your purse, smells pretty. Damn, do you ladies ever have choices!

And so you stand there, like an idiot waiting for the right box of tampons to catch your eye. When you realize that ain't gonna happen, you're fucked. Seriously, what're you going to do? Ask the next lady you see? "Excuse me, you're about my wife's size..."

(My solution? I get my wife to give me the boxtop from her last box of tampons. Works like a charm.)

[lies and propaganda]

52. my bf tried to tell me he has for me multiple times

but thats a load of crap. Not once.
I think he would cry. or tell me the store was closed, aha.
