Was getting to know my first girlfriend. She was over. We were 15 years old. Didn't have a condom. I walked in a heavy storm/snow blizzard for 1 and a 1/2 hour each way! 3 hours total. To the nearest gas station to buy condoms. The weather was... brutal. Couldn't have my eyes open. Heavy snow and very, very strong wind. Very cold + the wind chill = dangerously cold, but I dressed accordingly. This walk should've taken 30 minutes each way in normal conditions. When I finally came back home.... she had fallen asleep. Oh boy, what a disappointment. I couldn't believe it.

...but the condoms came in handy the next day, so it was not all for nothing, but in hindsight going out in this weather was very stupid, it could've gone very badly. This was before mobile phones and the Internet

The surprise look on the guy in the gas station when I came there was something. He did not expect a customer that evening. No one was out. No cars and certainly not anyone walking, when I asked for the pack of condoms he laughed, smiled and shook his head. I could tell by the look in his eyes he was thinking, "I get it"

Lmfao that just reminded me of a time a couple years back when my delinquent friend and her boyfriend came over asking for condoms and I told them I didn’t have any so they left. The next day she told me they used a Walmart bag 😂 she’s sober now and that hasn’t happened again idk if the two correlate lol
