I'm not a prude, or at least I don't think I am(lol),but I was always embarrassed and never knew what in the heck to say. To be honest, I sort of wanted to cover my ears like a little kid. (lol) I mean, was I supposed to reciprocate with my own info? Should I have agreed with what she talked about?
Most of the time I just laughed, or tried to change the subject. A few times I even said, "Girl - you're crazy!" and walked away. (lol) Even worse, she got a kick out of my reaction. It took a few years, but she finally stopped trying to get a response from me.(lol)I'm the person who feels more comfy talking about your back pain, your kids, what you ate for dinner, that last really good book you read, or what you did on vacation.
It was really weird too. Sometimes a guy would practically run up to me and throw the box on the counter. But a few used to saunter, and slowly slide the merchandise on the counter mixed with other stuff, as if I wouldn't notice. (lol) Either way I could feel my face turning red and just wanted to get that sale over with quickly.
Has this ever happened to you? How did you handle it? Do you talk about sex with your friends? Does this happen with just young people, or is everyone on board?

Do you still use the post office to send off payments, love letters or gifts? Despite having so many states, the US does not have the most post offices. The country at the top of the list is actually India with over a million post offices and close to 5 million employees! The United States employs about 600,000 career/non-career employees and has nearly 35,000 offices overall. Sadly these figures continue to dwindle annually.
I am with you. I don't share the intimate details of my life, and don't want to hear other peoples. I don't think I am a prude either, but...
ReplyDeleteSmiling at the condom sales. I can just imagine it.
As a very young thing I worked in the 'ladies underwear' of a department store. We used to get men coming in around holiday period choosing underwear for their partners. Nasty, itchy, scratchy stuff. We also got perverts 'my wife is about your size, what size is that...'.
I can read about it, but to actually discuss it out loud is horribly embarrassing for me EC(lol). The things people used to do to purchase or even (try) to steal was pretty funny. I can imagine you have lots of fun stories to tell about those days in the department store.(lol) Hugs...RO

DeleteI never share intimate details of sex, but when I was a teaching assistant, I taught Intro Psych and one of the lessons is on sex. Some TAs asked a professor to handle the class because they were embarrassed. Providing you use clinical terms, it is not dirty or disgusting. However, it must be clinical or students will either giggle or get red in the face. It never happened with me, but some of the TAs had really bad experiences with their students. That is NOT the same as talking about your sex life to a friend, which I would feel uncomfortable with, too.
ReplyDeleteI remember several years ago HGTV did a show on one of those long garage sales. Somehow, I am not sure how many bargains you would find, since most of the people who participate, know the value of the items and what is a big money draw.
I fear the PO will go the way of the dinosaur one of these days. For profit companies like UPS have more services, although rates for mailing through USPS have gotten better. Too bad they don't offer other services, like making copies, etc.
Have a lovely Tuesday, RO.
That sounds pretty interesting about what happened in college, and I'll bet you have some great stories to tell.(lol) I saw that on HGTV, and was fascinated, but I figured people would easily run out of money or room in their trucks well before they got to the end. Sadly, the post office is definitely going away because people just don't seem to be using them as much. That could be because of the exorbitant costs too. Hope your day is amazing Elizabeth! Hugs...RO
DeleteI never talk about my sex life, and I don't want to hear or read about other people's. Not because I'm a Bible Bashing Baptist either, just because I find it both embarrassing and a total bore.
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough, both my daughter's DO want to discuss their sex lives with me, and I really, really don't want to hear about it. All I ever say is make sure you are using protection etc. And look how that advice worked with my younger daughter.
I hear you on that one Joey, and it is super embarrassing! I find it interesting that your kids want to talk about it with you so openly. My son is 35, and that would be just too much for him.(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteI don't really talk about sex to anyone now, but in the past I did, but always kept it quite general and about other people, not specifically about me. When I was young, like 20, I was shocked about how a gay guy ten years my senior commented on guys he saw on the street. I am now perhaps worse than he was, with my thoughts, that mostly go unspoken. I can be quite outrageous with what I say with some people at work, but only people I have known for a long time, and who I know will take it the way it is meant, as funny. Geez, I should make this a blog post of my own.
ReplyDeleteWith your witty personality Andrew, I would love to see you with this post. I can only imagine how much I would be giggling to your comments. Your outrageous comments are just so fun to me!(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteLol, I had a corner shop in Auckland and after 10pm the customers for it escalated! So true! And I would just have to guise and serve them.
ReplyDeleteFunny that you mention that!(lol) Many years ago when I was young, it seemed like every "adult store" was owned and managed by women in several states that I visited. I can just imagine the cool and funny stories you could share!(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteAbout the same time the post offices around the world started to close down so did my sex drive, but my love for my beautiful lady wife never ceased for nearly 64 years during our life time together. we saw little reason to discuss our marital romps in the boudoir with others. producing five sons would have been sufficient to indicate a satisfactory partnership.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Now that's the pits Vest, but the romance of 64 years of marital bliss just sounds so perfectly wonderful to me. What a blessing to find the love of your life! Hugs and Happy Thursday! RO
DeleteI would also feel embarrassed to hear someone discuss their sex life, nor do I discuss mine.
ReplyDeletePost Offices in Australia also seem to bed dwindling, but post is so expensive, people just use email to send letters.
Even at my age, I have a really hard time with it Sami(lol) I agree, the expense may be putting a lot of people off for sure. I wonder what it will be like 30 years from now? Hugs...RO
Delete"...she finally stopped trying to get a response from me."
ReplyDeleteBingo! She sounds like a very immature person. Like those nasty little girls in early school, who delight in dragging littler girls, into nasty talk. And sad to say, many women who should be above that, who delight in passing along the latest dirty joke.
They all take perverse pleasure, in this.
A sign of a very immature, unsure, and sad individual. Posing as all knowing and very worldly. But really S-a-d...
She's quite a character for sure, but the talk has finally stopped though, thank goodness!(lol) Hugs...and Happy Thursday! RO
DeleteNo yard sales, thrift shops, etc., for me. I get no pleasure from "shopping."
ReplyDeleteWhen I need something, I get it.
Can't stand browsing.
I am the Nightmare, of all sellers!!!! *Evil Grin*
LOL! Nothing wrong with going to the store and getting exactly what you like without all the fuss. Maybe I'll get there one day too.(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteOh gosh, that would be pretty uncomfortable. I don't mind if people talk about it, but I don't want tons of details - and I don't want that to be the only thing they ever talk about!
ReplyDelete-Lauren
www.shootingstarsmag.net
It was quite something Lauren, and you're right, for awhile it sure seemed like there was no other conversation at all.(lol) Hugs and Happy Thursday! RO
DeleteHonestly, if I had a friend who felt it necessary to be that detailed and graphic I would just say, "too much for me, I don't wish to hear it." But that's me, straight up no chaser, so you know. :-)
ReplyDeleteBack in the stone age (70's) I worked at a pharmacy in my senior year of high school. Condoms were not out front, you had to ask for them behind the pharmacy counter. I was always asked for them and I never got a red face, but all the men who asked did. I felt badly for them and I was only 17/18. My boss, the pharmacist who owned the place, would get samples of them. He gave some to a few people who worked there but none to me. When I teased him that I didn't get any, he told me I shouldn't be having sex. Yep, it was the good ole early 70's and he thought I should remain a virgin until I married. He did not know that I had my birth control pills filled at another pharmacy. :-)
I agree Margaret, sometimes it's just better to be straightforward, and I probably could have saved myself the embarrassment and headache for sure.(lol) I can see the guys being a little nervous about purchasing from a woman, and can picture that scenario. I suspect the pharmacist would have been shocked to know about your birth control pills! (lol) Hugs and Happy Thursday! RO
DeleteI'm introverted so it's rare. I might refer to women I've been with in the past but it's more about who and what they were like. Not so much about the "detail details"
ReplyDeleteI've always suspected that guys are very out in the open about being with other women, but it's good to know that some are pretty cool, and don't share all the details. I can appreciate that! Hugs and Happy Thursday! RO
DeleteBlessings......
ReplyDeleteI think its healthy to talk about sex with friends, not necessarily blow by blow of what you are doing with your partner as I believe there should be some boundaries.
I definitely agree there should be boundaries! Don't want too many details for sure!(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteI am not a prude either but I don't think I'd enjoy hearing a friend's sexcapades either RO LOL
ReplyDeleteDefinitely too much info Debbie!(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteNo, I keep those details to myself.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on that one, Marvelous Mary! Hugs...RO
DeleteYou are so right here. Intimate details should not be shared with other people. We are all entitled to a private sphere. I love yard sales, and always like to browse when I see one. Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI agree Valerie. Keep those details to yourself!(lol) At one time, I used to be really hooked on yard sales, but I've really streamed it down a bit. Hope your day is amazing! Hugs...RO
DeleteWith close friends sure, well I shall not talk about what we talked about since you do not wanna hear lol
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny!(lol) Hugs...
DeleteI'm with you on the not sharing intimate details. When I have talked about sex with friends I always prefer to keep things very vague. The bits about condoms made me laugh. That's so funny about the time!
ReplyDeleteYou'd be amazed at the things that happened after 11pm in Walgreens, Katherine.(lol) I could probably write a funny book about it! Hugs...RO
DeleteNope! I really want to know about someone's sex life in casual conversation even if we're close friends. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's funny about the late night condom runs.
There was a lot of crazy antics going on in that store after 11pm Sophia! (lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteThat kitty cat picture is adorable.
ReplyDeleteLove my cat pics Angela! Hugs...RO
DeleteSome things has to be personal.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree Haddock. Hugs...RO
DeleteI'm not big on the oversharing of the details of anyone's sex life either. Some things are just meant to be kept private.
ReplyDeleteI agree. If we're talking about something vaguely in a novel, I can get with that, but once it turns personal, I'm outta there Suzanne(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteThank you for these great tips RO and I don’t consider myself a prude either but there are certain things if asked, and people have raised my eyebrows by asking, that I borrow a phrase from my dear mother-in-law who left us many years ago but still very much remembered with love, she used to say “Tell ‘em to mind their own beeswax!”
ReplyDeleteI agree Dear Denise. Sometimes too much is just too much!(lol) Wonderful words from your mother in law. Hugs...RO
DeleteOh yea, that's a good example of too much information! Have a super Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteVery much agreed! I'd much rather talk about cats!(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteI don't encourage discussing personal things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the information:)
I hear you on that one. Sometimes the intimate details can be much too much!(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteI think we all have that one friend who over indulges. lol... Thanks for the great informative post.
ReplyDeleteIn my lifetime, I think I've met way too many Jenea, but it keeps life very interesting.(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteI've never talked to my friends about my sex life - even when I was a teenager - other than in a vague sense. And I've only had 1-2 women try to talk to me about theirs.
ReplyDeleteThat happens to my husband more. At work the guys tell him everything and he's like lalalala I don't want to know these things lol
Karen @ For What It's Worth
When I was a kid, I was a tomboy, so I was around a lot of boys and some of the things they said, had me running for the hills all the time(lol) It's kind of cool to see that your husband takes the high road and doesn't get involved in the TMI stuff, but I can still imagine he hears some crazy stuff, Karen!(lol)
DeleteI am not a prude by any means, but I never talk about my sex life with anyone. Maybe its my age and the fact I've been married for over 30 years. When someone shares I am always shocked. LOL
ReplyDeleteAh...30 years of married bliss just sounds so romantic Kimberly. Like you, I'm shocked when I get the details.(lol) Hugs...RO
DeleteTalking about sex with friends, uh, no:)
ReplyDeleteHug
PS Might help my writing though:)
DeleteLOL! You never know Super Sandra! (lol)
DeleteI love the whole, "I'm gonna buy eight boxes of condoms along with five bags of M & Ms, some Twizzlers, and a gallon of milk and hope the cashier doesn't notice" mentality. I used to do that with tampons when I was a teenager. haha
ReplyDeleteElsie
OMG - I was embarrassed with tampons too.(lol) I can tell you that the people I met, and some of the scenarios that happen in a Walgreens after 11pm was just hilarious, shocking and head shaking worthy.(lol) Hugs...
DeleteI do not think intimate details should be shared with other people.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy writing letters, sending cards etc so do use the local post office.
However, here in the UK many post offices have closed down, which is such a shame.
Happy August Wishes.
All the best Jan
I'm a card sender and letter writer to, and it saddens me to think that post offices may not be around one day soon, too. I agree - don't tell me the really, really intimate stuff about your sex life. Too much!(lol) Hugs...
Deleteif I was you, I think I would just laugh it off too. sorry, but I really don't want to know no matter how good a friend you are.
ReplyDeleteI think I heard once that they were going to stop delivering mail but I guess that didn't happen but I just wonder what people will do if they stop delivering mail. do you get yourself a p.o. box or something? anyway, I don't go to the post office much but mostly because it's so far away
have a lovely day.
I totally agree Lissa. No need to give me a play by play!(lol) I use the Post Office a lot to mail letters, cards and packages, so I would be lost without it. Mine is 5 minutes away. That's the pits that you have to go so far. Hope things are going well in your world! Hugs...RO
DeleteAt least those people are being responsible lol.
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends on the context, I'm not for kissing and telling, but if it's a sincere inquiry or some sort of consultation then I'm not opposed to that.
I definitely agree. Don't want TMI Braine, and I'm so thrilled to hear from you! Hugs...RO
DeleteGood grief. 700 miles of sales. My mom would have loved it.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever been to Little Nashville, IN? It's fun. It is basically shops, in buildings, in homes. It's like Blowing Rock only more shops and a bit larger.
Hugs
Back in the day, I would have definitely done this. These days, I may have been able to do three blocks or so.(lol) Never heard of Little Nashville, but it sure sounds fun and worthy of checking out. You always find the coolest places! Hugs...and Happy Sunday! RO
DeleteI was laughing about talking about sex and the condoms! LOL! I don't think so! That is not for me! Now that I am older, makes it even more uncomfortable, if my mother says something! LOL! I'm like, "mom", I have to go to the bathroom! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat london fog latte sounds delicious!
Big Hugs Ro!
I agree! That's a great idea to use to get away!(lol) Love my tea too! Hugs and Happy Sunday! RO
DeleteYeah I am with you. I don't wanna hear that at all. I had a girl in college who would come into my office (we worked together) and do the same thing. It was especially awful when she was "dating" a good friend of mine at the time. Noooooo! I do not want to hear these things. lol
ReplyDeleteTo talk about it in a work environment would really set me on edge, and make me uncomfortable, and I just imagine the awkwardness of conversation. Yikes!

My husband and i got Married last year and we have been living happily for a while. We used to be free with everything and never kept any secret from each other until recently everything changed when he got a new Job in NewYork 2 months ago. He has been avoiding my calls and told me he is working,i got suspicious when i saw a comment of a woman on his Facebook Picture and the way he replied her. I asked my husband about it and he told me that she is co-worker in his organization,We had a big argument and he has not been picking my calls,this went on for long until one day i decided to notify my friend about this and that was how she introduced me to Mr James(Worldcyberhackers@gmail.com) a Private Investigator who helped her when she was having issues with her Husband.
