Today I probably had the most embarrassing experience of my life, so what better way to make things better than to share it with a bunch of strangers 
Anyway, my girlfriend's been on at me to buy some condoms for a while, eventually I got around to it on Monday, so I went into Superdrug and bought the condoms and some Cadbury’s chocolate clusters (you know, so it doesn't look like I’ve just gone in for the condoms). Anyway, when I got home I removed the condoms from the box and stuffed them in a drawer then stuffed the bag + the box back into my jacket pocket in order to throw it away.
Roll on today and I still haven't got rid of the box & my mum asks me to go back into Superdrug to get her some vitamin tablets. So I go in, get the tablets, pay for them & try to leave when the security barrier goes off. Anyway, I take the tablets back to the counter, get them scanned again, go through, goes off again. Do this one more time before the manager comes over and she tries it with the tablets and it doesn't go off.
They ask me to go through the usual routine emptying my pockets etc when I pull out the bag containing the empty condom box, the woman takes it from me and walks through the sensors & it sets off the alarm. So the manager plus another female staff member open the bag to see that it must be the security tag on the condom box. At this point they're suspicious because I don't have the receipt with me (no idea where it's gone) and the guys getting served behind me were two known drug dealers. They think i've taken the condoms out and passed them to a mate basically.
So who walks into the shop next but my mum! She asks what's going on and things and they tell her that I've set off the security barrier so I can't leave etc and they have to keep me there until they check their records to see if I’m telling the truth about what I bought & on the day/time I said I bought it. So there's me, my mum & two female staff members all stood in the shop for a half-hour with an empty box of condoms, not just any condoms but Durex Pleasuremax, like the most expensive you can get!
After much shuffling on my feet eventually they found the record of the sale, much to my relief and I was told I could go. My mum hasn't said anything about it yet, I guess she figures I've been embarrassed enough for one day. Of course the staff members thought it was absolutely hilarious afterwards, good times & the most embarrassing day for me ever. I think security tags hate me, because I bought a DVD the other day and then the security tag on that was setting off alarms in shops I went in afterwards. Moral of the story: Terminate security tags with extreme prejudice after buying anything.
