like buying your umpteenth bottle of PNVs and the cashier whispers to you "are you pregnant?" NO, BITCH and thank you for bringing up such a painful subject.
This is why I buy all of my tests off Amazon. I understand that they are just being nice, but it's annoying to me. You really don't need to comment on my purchases.

Exactly. The guy meant well, and I felt back that I was unreasonably annoyed with his comment, but good god man! Who knows, maybe I didn't want to be pregnant!! He has no idea of my circumstances!

Lol. I once bought only a pregnancy test and a box of tampons. The cashier gave me the biggest side eye ever and said, "I uhhh hope this works out however you want it to..."

About 6 years ago I bought a HPT because I was a few days late and I was in NO PLACE to be pregnant. I bought the test and the woman was so excited and said "good luck!" and I was like "uhhhh..." I think my look of panic made her realize that I needed luck, but in the different way than we all need it now!

Ditto this. I live in a small town where everyone knows everyone... if I did have to go buy an HPT in store, I'd have to go to one far away from home!
I guess it's better than the time I bought a big box of tampons and two different bags of chocolate. The guy had a look in his eyes of pure fear. LOL
The best is buying a giant box of tampons and going up to the dude who is obviously still in high school, just to freak him out.
lol I thought I was the only one who did that!
The best was when I asked my H to pick up some tampons for me (we were just dating at the time). He got so flustered in the aisle that he bought seven different kinds! He said the cashier was an older lady who told him he was really prepared!
Ugh, two years ago when we moved down here to the south, I bought a HPT, because my cycle was all out of whack. I was also picking up my BCP prescription. The little old lady checking me out was like "oh, is somebody going to be a mommy?" Grrrr!!!! Mind your own beeswax!
I really should just order them on Amazon. Facing the cashier is the worst!
I find it shocking that so many people have had similar experiences. I've never heard of this before, nor have I had anyone comment on my purchases of OPKs, HPTs or preseed. I did however get the staredown from an older middle eastern looking couple when I bought 10 dollar stores HPTs at once. That was awkward.
