One of the most uncomfortable situations anyone can be faced with is trying to buy a condom for the first time.聽
Your babe/man/FWB comes over and things are getting heated. They (wisely) say they are not going ahead without a condom so you have to hustle to the pharmacy to get one.
You approach the pharmacy with some of the courage you鈥檝e spent 5 minutes gathering.
1. As you鈥檙e about to enter, you see five people inside, so you decide to just chill outside for a bit
But as one person leaves, another is entering.
2. So you eventually decide to go inside anyway
Don’t forget that the object of your sexual interest is still lying naked on the bed, waiting for you.
3. The pharmacist asks what you want
And the courage you鈥檝e just gathered disappears into smoke.
鈥淚 want to buy vitamin C,鈥 You say.
The chemist gives you the vitamin c.
鈥淎nything else?鈥 the pharmacist asks.
4. 鈥淚 want to buy cndm,鈥 you mutter quietly under your breath
鈥淪orry, I didn鈥檛 hear you?鈥 The pharmacist says.
You repeat yourself.
5. 鈥淥H YOU WANT TO BUY CONDOM?鈥
You use your eyes to beg the pharmacist to lower his voice but he ignores your pleas. You can feel the judgmental eyes of every person in the pharmacy on you.
6. 鈥淲hich one do you want?鈥
At this point, you just want to tell them to forget about it and go home. But you鈥檙e already halfway through. One last push. You point at the condom nearest to you.
They pack it in a nylon bag that鈥檚 too transparent for your liking. You start walking home with the condom in your pocket but you feel like everyone on the street knows what you just bought.
