Doing that East Coast thing
So I'm at the pharmacy--that shining beacon to the inefficiency and inadequacy of the American health care system, we're no. 18, we're no. 18!!!!--waiting at 7 pm last night for medication that was supposed to be ready at 3:30. I hear someone behind the counter say my last name so I move up to the line. A few seconds later, some dude who was perusing the "family planning" section comes up to me and says he was in line before me. I am just too disgusted with the process to argue with him, so I step aside.

In doing so, I notice that he is holding what can best be described as a "mutual self-help" device a man would use with a lady, and vice versa. It's not something I'd buy in a pharmacy full of coughing, impatient, mostly weird people, but hey, maybe he's horned up and has the wife ready to go at home. I dunno.

So we're standing there for a few more seconds when he turns to me.

"You ever try this?" he says and points to it.

I briefly thought about telling him about my quick trigger reputation and how I just don't have time for something like that, or quite frankly the need. Readiness = not an issue for me. I also thought about yelling "WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU ASKING ME THAT?!" but chose restraint.

"No," I said. "But good luck to you."

Then thankfully my name was called and I was outta there. Seriously, what the **** is wrong with people? Next time just prattle on about the rain coming tomorrow and how we had no fall. ****.
 
I predict epic status for this thread. I cannot wait to see where this one goes...

:)
 
Sure he wasn't trying to pick you up, BYH?

I have a similar yet unrelated gripe. I don't know when they started doing it, but a local pharmacy now locks up the items in its family planning aisle like it's the video game cabinet at Wal-Mart.
As if going to buy condoms wasn't awkward enough, now you have to ask the clerk to unlock the damn case for you.



ETA: I opened this thread thinking the title was "worst smack talk ever" and the enclosed picture really piqued my curiosity.

The town I grew up in, you could get condoms for free at the courthouse, no questions asked. They had a little bowl of them, like candy, at the main desk. I'm not sure who supplied them but we sure as hell took advantage
 
BYH might not have used it, but Tiger Woods his wife has ... and with fabulous results.

And, along the same line of thought, I noticed Smiling Bob is now for sale over the counter at convenience stores. Right next to the 5 Hour Energy, Horny Goat Weed and Durex at checkout.

If you'd hung around, this sounds like a type who might discuss the back door and **** in a box!
 
Look, everyone's looking at this the wrong way. FINALLY someone was worried about Mrs. BYH being satisfied. And BYH just shunned the guy.

What a husband!
