Considering that most of you folks on here are guys who grew up with GI Joe from the 80s and still collect them in adulthood...do any of you ever get embarrassed by your hobby? You know, funny looks from a hot girl or a MILF while you walked out of the toy aisle with an armload of Joes?
Usually I could give half a crap about what anyone else things about me or my hobby, but I do remember one embarrassing incident. I live in an apartment complex, and the mailboxes are really small. If UPS/FedEx/the Post Office brings you a package, they will leave a note in your mailbox and leave the package in the office.
I got one of the notes one day, which meant that my mail-away Docs were here! Excited, I took the slip into the office. The girl at the desk, probably by design, was incredibly smoking hot and I had chatted her up a few times. So she opens the closet to get my Docs, and comes out with the bright white mailer boxes with the GI Joe logo emblazoned across them. She didn't say anything or even give me a funny look, but I was still kinda embarrassed.
"Real, real smooth," I thought to myself. I mean, what was I gonna say, "So, when you get off you wanna come play with my Doc?" Might get arrested for that one...
