Obviously we won't get the ones you really want to keep hidden, but what are those purchases you don't want any one to know about?

Someone once sent me a replacement male part,as a joke and not knowing what it was or who it was from I opened it in front of people who shouldn't have seen that.

My best friend bought his wife a vibrator for Christmas about 10 years ago. He was all smug and thinking it was a really good idea despite me telling him I didn't think that was a good Xmas gift. Christmas morning they are sitting there opening gifts and she opens that one and immediately got po'd. It was even more amusing because their son was about 5 yrs old at the time and kept wanting to know what it was. Finally junior hands his mom another present and says "here's another one for you to open Mom". My buddy says "uh, you may not want to open that...." She opens it and it's a 4 pack of batteries.....

I think it's a bad idea... basically saying "I'm not going there... do it yourself."

Either way it didn't work. They got divorced about a year after I did.

had to take my friend to the drugstore - she was having 'girl issues', but she was also sick and couldn't go by herself..

we're standing in line and she's buying her 'pads' and she's got her hot pink wallet out... when all of a sudden she has to hurl. she pretty much piles the pads and hot pink wallet into my hands books it out of the drug store to toss her cookies outside... and i guess i'm closing the transaction.

yeah. so uh, i bought pads for my friend, with her hot pink wallet.

that was a whole lotta ackward.

That sounds almost like the Diet Dr. Pepper commercial where the guy goes and makes a purchase like that for his gf.
