What would you do?

Away golfing for the day yesterday, called the missus to say I was just about to set off on my way home, and to expect me in at about 10pm. She asked me if I would stop off at the supermarket on the way to buy her some tampax super-strength compacts, and the latest edition of In Style. Had a bit of an argument over whether this was absolutely necessary, I don't normally like to enter into discussions about this sort of topic, but she insisted that she was 'flooding'.

 

I stopped off at Tesco but the only 2 checkouts open were being run by blokes, thought I couldn't do that so went to Asda - thank christ, I thought, they have self-service check-outs, so I went to the Womens Personal Aisle, felt like a right pervert looking up and down all the shelves until I could find the one she wanted (had it written down on a piece of paper so at least other shoppers should have been able to tell I wasn't shoppin for myself). Finally spotted it, grabbed it, lifted the magazine, popped in a copy of GQ and a four-pack of Corona to make myself feel/look more manly and to cover up my embarrassing purchases, quickly negotiated the self-service check-out and buggered off home to be met by a grateful missus. Told her never to put me throught that experience again.

 

My 2 questions:

 

For the lasses, is this a reasonable favour for her to have asked of me?

 

For the men, what would you have said/done, put in the same position as me?

I've done it before.

Requested some bum fun in exchange for purchasing of said goods.

Wouldnt really bother me. Id be more likely moan about having to go to the shop when I wasnt planning than what I was actually buying.

[Kid Dynamite 9342]

Id probably rather buy them off a bloke than a woman tbh. Especially as any man working on a till at tescos has probably never been intimate enough with a woman to know what a tampon is.

I'd like to think that if I desperately needed them that my bloke would get them for me without any issues. It's not the most embarrassing thing in the world is it?

[David Kelly 1839]

Done it before and it doesn't bother me in the slightest tbh. A bloke no matter what his persuasion isn't going to have much use for a tampon so no one's going to think anything else thank I'm buying them for a lass.

 

I think it bothers the missus more than it does me really.

I am sorry but this is pathetic. Just go and buy the fuckers this happpens to women every month you know.

You should have told her to get online and have them delivered to the door, might have taken at least 24 hours but she could simply then stick a kitchen roll in her fanny in the meantime, problem solved!

[adios 717]

I'd probably take a wander out of the 18th century and buy them tbh.

[zico martin 113]

dunno what the big deal tbh ive done the same many times

Tell her to use kitchen towel

You obviously didn't read my post did you!

[Jusoda Kid 1]

What a fucking fanny! I'm not on about your lass either although by the sounds of it I could be. Just out of interest have you ever fucked her? It doesn't sound like it as your clearly insecure about your own sexuality......Oooh I've got to buy a box of jam rags

Its not something I normally let myself run out of tbh, I'd hate to ask Hubby to get them for me too. I think in all the years I've been with him I have only asked him twice and he got them no problem, he couldnt give a monkeys what anyone thinks of him anyway!

[Radgina 1]

If I run out ...which is rare, then wor lad would have no problem going to get them and I would have no problem asking tbh

Oh aye. You kind of fannied around the obvious point though

How old are you GM? I'd maybe have been embarrassed by that sort of thing in my teens or early twenties, but post-thirty it takes a lot more than that to bother me.

This is one of those threads where everyone sits waiting for someone to decide whether the post deserves to be agreed with or have the piss taken, then 30 other people jump on the band wagon like total dudes!

 

You loser GM, I buy tampons every day, and sanitary towels too!
