    Today is Asda, I was looking for toilet paper and they'd moved it. Even though an assistant was standing in front of me, I couldn't bring myself to ask for it, so just wandered around till I found where they'd shifted it.


    I have no idea why, I don't usually get so shy.

    Should've shouted OI WHERE'S THE SHIT PAPER

    Then just ask for either Tissues (pretend you have a cold) or Kitchen Rolls they are more often than not in the same aisle.

    Are you male? If so you shouldn't be embarrassed - I think people are aware they're not for you lol

    I am, but it was about 8.00 am and at a local newsagent. It was not a supermarket where there are a couple of other odds and sods you could buy to cover yourself.

    Another example,when I was at University, the group of boys I lived with would have a ritual of buying the Daily Sport every day. They would take it in turns of buying it. Thankfully, I managed to avoid participating. I remember one of their stories was Adolf Hitler possibly homosexual and their headline was 'Hitler took it up the s***er.'

    I used to get embarrassed buying Euromillions/lottery tickets etc. The chances of me actually winning are slim to none (in fact, they're just none) and I always thought the person behind the till thought I was a mug for playing the lottery, and I never liked buying them.

    That's as crazy as my stories get, I'm afraid.

    Why none? Were you doing it wrong?

    Remember years ago if you bought thrush treatment in our local Boots the assistant always shouted " CANESTON" to the chemist . Must have been rules because the chemist always acknowledged her !

    Believe it or not, in my Asda, the tissues and bog rolls are not even in the same aisle!

    There is no way on earth I'd actually utter the name 'Anusol', if ever I needed it. If I couldn't point at it, I'd suffer.


    What idiot thought that was a good name for a bum treatment?

    Looking at the word you can't even pronounce it slightly different as that would just be anus ol (oil)

    Not any better

    I wouldn't even mind that but it's when they start discussing your symptoms to make sure you're not arbitrarily buying thrush cream when you might have some other disease that the horrors set in.

    They might as well have called it 'Arsehole' and be done with it. :p

    Online chemists must be heaven for people who need anusol.

    Nothing embarrasses me now but sanitary products used to make me blush. I don't think I care anymore! That's the upside of getting older :)

    It gets even better, when you get older than that and don't need them any more!

    I'm nearing menopause and I still find buying sanitary products embarrassing.

    Well okay, maybe not menopausal yet but I have no idea why I find buying them so embarrassing.

    Gary Barlow's and Robbie Williams albums for my girlfriend at Christmas. I nearly died.

    I think I would have done as well.

    Also, foods that allegedly make your breath smell?

    Foods that smell themselves like fresh fish? It draws attention when you get to the checkout from the shoppers in front of you in the queue when you plaice it on the till belt.:D

    See that wouldn't embarrass me, after working in a hospital I view them in a clinical way... a surprising amount of females and males use tena products.
