Spotted on Not Always Right:

(I’m a customer in the check out line. I’m buying a box of tampons for my mom, who is bedridden after surgery. One of the two customers standing behind me in line speaks up.)

Other customer: “Ha-ha what a p****. He’s buying tampons.”

(I ignore the two and move forwards to the cashier. She’s an attractive girl of about 20 years old.)

Cashier: “$5.71 after the discount.”

(I have no idea what discount she’s talking about, but I pay her and get my change.)

Cashier: *with a smile on her face* “Here you go baby, I’m taking my break now and I’ll see you at home at 8. Just leave the tampons in my car, please.”

(She leans over the counter and kisses me on the cheek. She then turns the light off on the register number and walks off towards the other side of the store. The two customers watched her with their jaws open and angrily walk off to another register.)

I laughed and laughed at that when it came up on the feed, though I did also hope the girl didn't get in horrible trouble from those customers complaining.

While I'm adoring that cashier's skills at improv, my brain is insisting that the poster of this little bit wears a kilt and has a blue mohawk. Just because.

Best son ever too. My son wouldn't buy me tampons unless someone had him at gunpoint.

I thought about watching Ten Inch Hero in honor of Valentine's, but I decided it wouldn't really fit with the theme of the rest of my Valentine's, which is to say, My Bloody Valentine.

+10 to the guy in the queue for having the gallantry to buy tampons for his Mum.

+50,000 to the cashier for simultaneously acknowledging his gallantry and pwning the guy behind him in a single act.

I think I am in love.

And I am pretty towards the straight side on the Kinsey scale, so this is seriously impressive.

REally? honestly, where does buying tampons get to be a big deal?

I'd be more embarassed if i had to pickup twilight or some other soft-core abstinance pr0nz

I think it's because some sons freak out at the thought of their mother having a vagina.
