Fun day at the store

[Guest]

Today I went to Rite Aide Drugstore to purchase a new bottle of 5% minoxidil. Mind you that i am very self conscoius of walking into the store and buying a new pack of minoxidil. So I go to this store pretty far away from where i live. It is in a community with mostly old people. This way i could avoid embarrassing situations because old people are cool like that.

With my temples freshly coated with nice greasy minoxidil i walked into Rite Aide this morning at around 10:20am and was on my way to the shampoo section where the nizoral and Rogaine is of course. To my horror there was a girl around my age browsing the shampoos in that aisle so to avoid being seen grabbing the minoxidil i walked around the store browsing for a while. SHe took FOREVER to leave the store. Finally when she did it was nearly 11 and more and more people kept coming in the store. Mostly old people so i didn't give a damn and grabbed the minoxidil and was on my way to the counter. This old woman was working there at checkout, the same women i boutght the minoxidil off of a while back. But some people were in line so i didn't want to stand there in line with a box of generic minoxidil for everyone to look at and then look at my hairline. So i waited for the person that was being serviced to finish so i could go straight to the counter and have it scanned without having to wait in line. I was standing in the aisle right by the check out counter pretending to look at some barbeque stuff and i noticed this women kind of looking at me. I got embarrssed that she noticed the minoxidil, even though now that i look back she probably dind't even notice. Anyways I was about to go to the line but then another women gets there before me. So i'm f*****g pissed off and i have to get to class. IN THE END i didn't get to purchase the f*****g minoxidil. While driving to class i thought to myself, why dind't i just buy it? Why should i give a f*** about who was in that store or who was looking, its not like i'm ever gonna see them again. TOMMORow i will buy it not matter what.

minoxidil really isn't that bad, i dont look at it as an everyday hassle. Actually I love the stuff, my temples are looking a lot better than before and my right temple is completely fixed. Left temple is lagging a little but hopefully it continues to fill in. The only time minoxidil bugs is when its time to buy a new supply. Flux, bombscience, Brasilero, anyone want to buy me minoxidil from the store? I feel like a high school kid shoulder tapping in front of a liqour store for someone to buy them cigarettes. :roll:

Sad story although after reading that i started wondering ...yeah its bad for us but.....what about for women.It seems that in this society we live in where its not all that bad to be trying to save our hair..unless of coarse your a women.
One day i was in almost the same situation although i wasnt going to get minoxidil i was getting a mach 3 razor,but i saw a girl that was looking at thickening shampoos.You should have saw this girls face.....looked like her dog died.
There are alot of girls out there with thinning hair may be just maybe the girl did notice that you had minoxidil and thought to herself she needed to get some aswell.

 

[Pirate Commander F.B.]

That's what I thought too. She was jealous of your minoxidil. Damn women!

Hey man i've done this too. WHen i pick up my proscar i always go late and hope no one is in line. Sometimes i'll strategically wait until the young pharmacist girl is busy or something and grab the old guy. I guess minoxidil ain't too bad, lots of people probably don't know what the stuff is (not like it says baldness cream or anything on it)

I go for the full-on frontal assault. If someone sees with me with minoxidil, f*** them. I'm the one who knows what I am doing. Most men will experience hairloss at some point in their life. And they will look back at that moment they saw me at the ol' Rite Aid and think "that guy had his sh*t together." And as for the women, screw them too... think about this.. why do people go to Rite Aid, Walgreens, or whatever pharmacy they go to. They go there to buy sh*t that they are too embarassed to buy at the grocery store. So, when a woman glances at my minoxidil, I glance right back at her hair dye, douche, extra-thickness maxi-pads, nail-rot treatments, acne medicine, vaginal lubricants, that big bottle of Cutty Sark whiskey that is on sale, or whatever the hell they are in there to get that they didn't have the nerve to get at the grocer. All the people who go to Rite Aid are freaks for some reason or another. The lone exception being those bikini-topped girls with the jeans shorts cut all the way up to there who come in just to grab a new pair of cheap flip flops on their way to the beach... now those chicks I gotta hide from!.. but they are the stastically irrelevant minority. Come on here people, we are all human. If someone has a problem with me buying some minoxidil, then they can laugh away but frankly I don't give a sh*t.

Hah I also take a trip about 40 minuites away to buy my minoxidil from a small store and I usually go early in the morning. Goddamn insecurities...

 

[Axon]

Buy online.

The money you save buyin minoxidil directly at costco pays for its membership. I buy a years supply at a time ($60+tax for 12 bottles). Quick, painless, and very infrequent.

 

[nikeaddict]

damn man, first off, most people dont know what the f*** minoxadil is and if you hold it in your hand or a cart who is going to look at it. i would go to the damn walgreens on my college campus and grab it with 10 girls buying shampoo, its nothing to be embarassed about. they dont care. you will never see most of them again. if its a dope girl who you might want to talk to or will see a lot, then maybe go to another register but dont leave the store cause an old lady saw you.

 

[Guest]

You guys are right. Today i went straight in and said f*** it and went straight to the minoxidil. Grabbed the 3 pack real quick and went straight to the register. I didn't give a f*** who was there. Thats how you do it.

 

[TortoiseAndHair]

Yeah, go in, grab the condoms, athelete's foot medication, acne cream, preparation H, Ex-Lax, Rogaine, Nizoral, and to throw them off, a pack of gum.

 

[The shedder]

ha yea, next time I go I'm gonna buy it somewhere close, and if theres a hot girl there i'll pick up a box of magnum condoms.. See what she notices haha...

 

[Guest]

i leave my minoxidil lying round the house lol dont really care what other ppl think.

it's best they take piss outta you for doing something about that than 5 years down the road being called 'baldy'

 

[juststarting]

Seriously, I wouldn't be ashamed of buying a hair loss prevention product.
I mean, if you need it, then people already know you are losing your hair anyway right?

 

[VWdude]

you know what, i don't give a f*** whos there when i pick up my balding remedies... the pharmacist i go to is young, around 25... i keep getting my propecia from her and she doesnt say a damn thing... if anyone does they will get the infamous "f*** off"... not a big deal.

Guys, reading this made me laugh because I know the feeling. I think the underlying problem with buying minoxidil is that it's almost like you are admiting that you are going bald to anybody that sees the box. Of course, the truth is that they can see you're going bald anyways so who are you fooling? I used to be the same, but by buying it and not giving a sh*t, it's good for me, because it means I'm coming to grips with the problem, I'm trying to do something about it and I don't care if strangers know. For me, this is a small step towards acceptance, which is a good thing, because ultimately, I will be bald someday.

 

[hairschmair]

man you guys are insecure. I wouldn't think twice about it.

 

[stax]

Well that was funny as hell because i can fully understand where your coming from. I would have done the exact same thing lol. It wasnt for minoxidil but the other week i got a drive to the bank with a big bag of 50 cent peices that i had laying around because i needed some extra cash and i had about $200 worth that was just taking up space in my closet. So me and my friend get to the bank and just as i was going to get out of the car with this wal-mart bag full of rolled 50 peices i see these 2 hot girls i know standing right in front of the doors and then they went in to do some banking and there was a big line up. So i didnt want to be waiting in line with this ghetto wal-mart bag full of 50 cent peices waiting to cash them like im some ghetto *** broke person. So i didnt get out of the car and i made up an exuse that i was just going to keep them and the next morning i went back to the bank and cashed them when it was empty lol. Even when i get my haircut i go early in the morning so there are not hot girls there just incase they might see my norwood 1.5 hairline. I know its not that bad but its still noticeable. So dont worry dude you're not the only one. Im pretty bad with this type of sh*t too lol. I hate when this type of sh*t doesnt work out and it just works against you when your trying to avoid a embarrasing situation. It's happened to me a few times but f**k it.
