Most Awkward Lego Buying Moments

I know that I have had my fair share of odd buying moments. The one that stands out the most is going into a Barnes & Noble a few months ago to buy a book and coming across a mass amount of Harry Potter sets. They were already sold out everywhere and were full price, but I bought every one of them. I know how a lot of people hate it when people do this, but they were at full price, and I knew my window of opportunity for these sets was closing fast. I took 6 of both Hagrid's Hut, and Hogwarts (The small one), along with an uncountable amount of Knight Buses and Quidditch Match's, and around 6 or 7 Forbidden Forests. Now this may not have looked odd in a store like Target or Walmart, but going up to the front with this mass amount of Lego's at a book store and trying to lug them out to my car, must have been quite entertaining for those watching. Safe to say I wasn't going to be able to get a date with the girl at the counter, even though she was quite pretty. To make things worse for everyone, they had a buy a $75 gift card, get a $10 one free, so I was buying a bunch of them before the outright purchase. Has anyone else had any experiences like this? I figured this might be a fun forum to start? A little lighter than just plain investment and speculation talk.
