I had to switch libraries once because I all I checked out was gory crime and cheesy romance novels, and I was too embarrassed to keep going back. I felt like I had to explain that I bought all my real books, but I didn't want to insult the librarians by basically telling them that they spent a lot of time shelving shit because I am thrifty with my bad taste.
But then, I can't stomach buying anything in places I feel like I don't belong (sporting goods stores), places that are cooler than I (indie record stores), or regular stores wherein I have to buy a necessity (I was 19 before I could buy my own tampons without trying to offset them with three dozen unrelated purchases).
And in October, when I was confirming my pregnancy, yes, I bought four different pregnancy tests in four different stores.
