The 30 Worst People To Run Into When You're Buying Something Embarrassing

If I go somewhere like a bar, I know what I'm getting myself into. All my friends are going to be there. There’s a high chance I will run into my ex or meet a hot new guy. And I will be heavily inebriated and do something embarrassing, but it won't be the end of the world because there is not one chance that I will run into, say, my grandma.

It's a whole different story when I'm going to the store to buy some embarrassing sh*t. I'm not talking about sexy embarrassing, like a thong or a vibrator or something. No, I'm talking, like, Vagisil embarrassing. And no matter how many times you go to the store, whether it's the grocery store or the drug store, there's no telling who you are going to run into there and what state you are going to be in when you run into that person.

Think about it. These are stores where you can buy tampons and condoms and 30-racks and Vagisil and ANYONE, and I mean anyone -- from your high school teachers to your ex to your grandma -- is welcome.

Of course, there are some people who are perfectly fine to run into. But then there are some who are the absolute f*cking worst. Here they are.

1. Your ex while you’re buying Vagisil.
