Being raised to always have a years storage, I hit sales and stockup. so recently I bought
10 Large boxes of tampoons
10 large boxes of pads
and two cases of paper towels.
I’ll bet the checker thought that was odd.
Bottle of baby oil and…
A turkey baster
2 hostess fruit pies
(I actually did this, I was out of baby oil, and was going to be cooking thanksgiving dinner that year. My then boyfriend and I had been stopping by this store almost every day on our way home from work to pick up a few items for dinner etc. The clerk was this grumpy OLD guy that never even smiled once. When he saw the turkey baster and baby oil it was the first time I’d ever seen him laugh, let alone smile. Oh yeah, the hostess pies were for breakfast, we worked night shift.).
MY GOD!!! Talk about a heavy flow!
A pair of 14" linesmans pliers
40 pound test fishing line
a package of sail needles
60 linear feet of batboard (3/8 x 1 inch)
a package of eyebolt screws
I had a hacksaw already in my duffle bag when I opened it to get my credit card.
Two AM at Walmart on Westheimer in Houston.
The cop stopped me before I got outta the parking lot.
We were hanging quilts for an exhibition.
A bag of apples
A box of razor blades
For extra credit, buy this on October 30th.
When I was moving last time, I met up with some friends having been shopping. The clerk hadn’t batted an eyelid, but my buddies found my purchase of 2 inflatable matresses and an electric screwdriver to be very entertaining.
Box fan
Baby powder
Chocolate syrup
Shower curtain
Binoculars
Two boxes of condoms
1 bottle of white liquid soap
24 rolls of toilet paper
8 bottles of Dawn dishwashing detergent
4 bottles of white shoe polish
This definitely raised the eyebrows of our cashier. We were a bunch of high-schoolers, obviously heading out for a little midnight mischief. The condoms–with a few squirts of liquid soap in them–went on people’s doorknobs. The Dawn detergent went into a couple of fountains. The toilet paper and shoe polish were for the obvious pranks. I guess there are a few things about high school that I miss!
Ping pong balls
Preparation H
A bicycle pump
No where near as outlandish as some, but I’ve actually bought this stuff, and did get some raised eyebrows…
Half a dozen limes
Orange Juice
4 Liters of Coke
Margarita mix
Chips
By an 18 and 17 year old (who look their age) at about midnight on a Friday.
I have never purchased this stuff together, but I would hope it would at least get me a second look…
Baseball bat
A ski mask
Video camera
Tube of A&D Ointment
Duct tape
A large teddy bear
:eek:
Real shopping list that once raised eyebrows at an Eagle Hardware store a few years ago:
ABS piping:
6’ of 2" pipe
6’ of 3" pipe
3’ of 4" pipe
ABS fittings and adhesive to link it all together
One latern sized bottle of propane
Propane torch adapter
Braided steel gas tube (fit on the end of the torch adapter)
Brass gas valve
Pizo-electric BBQ sparker (big red button kind)
Purchased by a pair of 16 year old boys who couldn’t stop grinning. There’s a prize for the first doper to guess what we were bulding 
Fake list thought up just for this thread:
Box of handgun ammo
Box of condoms
1lb jar of vaseline
50 sq ft tarp.
Latest copy of Cosmo.
I remember once purchasing late at night at Ballard Market:
(12) long-stem red roses.
(1) box LifeStyles condoms
(1) bottle Masciarelli Ripasso wine
Not too unusual, really. The shame is that they were for three different purposes.
But I busted out laughing when the clerk recited her rote “have a good night !”
Spud cannons are almost too boring to mention here.
Despite that, what’s the prize? 
Yes it was! We already had the cactus, maraschino cherries and ice cream at home. 
A previous real trip I had at Home Depot:
Two sacks of fencepost concrete
One redwood 4x4 fencepost
36" exterior-grade door
5-pound box of deck screws
Roll of flowered wallpaper border, suitable for Grandma’s parlor
Cold Medicine
Rubbing Alcohol
Lithium Batteries
Coffe Filters
and Matches
Those can not only get you a funny look but can also get you stopped by the cops. A couple in our state capitol even were arrested after police were notified and followed them to several convenience stores. They were loading up on pseudo-ephedrine and lithium batteries.
oops… coffee filters… :smack:
