Well, I was just 15 years old.
I went to a convenience store to buy some snacks.
When I reached the cashier, there were about 8 people behind me, waiting in line.
As I was paying, my eyes went to this fancy and cute looking small box.
It has a picture of fruit on it and was very bright, I was curious.
I picked it up from the shelf, thinking it was a candy or chewing gum, and put it on the cashier.
Then the clerk looked at me like this.
Clerk : “How old are you?”
Me : “15, why?”
Clerk : “Are you sure you want to buy that?” *lifting the small box up*
Apparently the people behind me saw the box too and began to giggle like hell. I was thinking what the hell?
Me : “Yeah, I’m sure.”
Clerk : “Are you REALLY SURE???”
Me : “Yes! Am I not allowed to buy some candy?”
Then everybody burst with laughter.
I just stood there, questioning the situation, what the actual fudgecake is happening?!
Clerk : “Please read the description on the box carefully..” *handing back the box to me while giggling*
Hmm, what’s wrong with them seriously.. I thought. This is just a strawberry flavored—
CONDOM????!!!
I freaked the hell out!
Upon my expression, everybody laughed at me again. I quickly put the box back on the shelf and quickly ask the clerk to process my payment.
I left the store looking as red as a tomato.
Moral lesson : Always read the description.
