Some guy has problems buying Kotex
Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2011 11:06 pm
I was going to post this on Caltrops but with it screaming error messages I'll pass and come over here.
On American Restorations the guy has a job of restoring an old 1960s Kotex vending machine, the kind they put in Ladies Restrooms to sell them tampons.
So to test it, they need to load it. So the guy sends one of his employees to the supermarket to buy some tampons. Yet for some reason, this embarrasses the guy who has to go to the store.
What the fuck kind of idiot is he? First, anyone who sees a man buying either tampons or sanitary napkins realizes that he ain't buying them for himself (unless he likes to keep sanitary napkins to absorb blood when he gets shot from time-to-time), that he's getting them for some woman who is either busy or too embarrassed to buy them herself. That presumes anyone even notices in the first place.
I mean, I can understand someone feeling self conscious about buying condoms in a store, but a man being bothered by buying a woman's product? He needs to get some therapy.
What was also amusing was that the guy didn't realize that there are over a dozen different kinds of tampons, including "super thin" and "body shaped."
I was about 8 or 10 years old, my sister gave me the money and had me go into the grocery store to buy a box of Kotex. I went in, bought it and came back. It wasn't until many years later that I realized what I was buying, and as far as I can see, I don't see where it's any reason for a man to be self-conscious about it, any more than if a woman's boyfriend stopped at the store to get her prescription for birth control pills. Clearly, he isn't going to be using them!
