Been there. Shopping for unrelated items for another person. A patient I visited in a retirement home, in my case.
Because the wheelchair-bound fella had bad circulation and got cold feet at night, I was buying him a red-rubber hot water bottle (which my mother used to fill up and put in the bed with me when I was sick and chilly… but as I read on the back of the packaging in the checkout line, the reason they’re still sold in Walmart in the 21st century is that they can be used to give home enemas.)
Also lotion (because nurses visiting the patient wash their hands 100x a day and that dries out their skin)
aaaand a jumbo pack of 3-ply luxury TP, because the TP they supplied old folks with dry skin here at the retirement home was the same dirt-cheap crap paper they stock gas stations with.
Was interesting to meet eyes with the cashier once I was done reading the enema directions.
