View Full Version : A way to buy the CP toys/books while retaining your dignity

Okay, wee there's a lot of people here that want the toys, but don't want to be considered freaky for getting that kind of thing. So, I have an idea for all you weirdos that feel a sense of manliness will be lost if you do buy the stuff. This is reccomended for adults, and will probably not work if you are a kid or teen. Unless you are an older teen. (16+)

Step One: Go into Toys R Us.

Step Two: DO NOT look for the toys yet*, unless they're at the front. If they are, like they were at mine, DO look at them for, like, half a second.

Step Two*: If they are hidden away somewhere, find them using your awesome periphial vision. Do not pay much attention to them yet.

Step Three: Wander around, staring through any sections you can find.

Step Three Optional (Reccomended): If it is combined with the Babies R Us section, take out some toddler clothes. Any will do, so long as it's not clothing for chlidren that are too young. (As in 1 year and below. Don't worry, you won't have to buy these.)

Step Four: Get one or more of the toys. If it's more than one toy that you want, get an extra outfit if you did Step Three Optional.

Step Five: Ask the nearest staff member there (Near clerk for better effect) for gift wrap/a box/a bow thing(s). *If there are, get the stuff. Bow things are almost required, but not necessary.

Step Five*: If there are no boxes/gift wrap/bows, then thank them and immediately go to the clerk.

Step Six: Go up to the clerk section. Stand here and look like you're comtemplating whether you should get the toy or the clothing. Shrug and leave the clothing there, then buy the toys.

Step Six*: If you have the bow things, buy these too, but not the box unless you're willing to spend the extra money to maintain your manliness.

Step Seven: RUN TO THE CAR!!

Okay, so that was my plan to go in and get them. If it works, people should believe you are genuinely getting a gift for your niece or something. It's one thing to just tell the clerk or anyone nearby you're getting a gift for someone, but another to go through with this plan. I also reccomend you do this on a Tuesday, when nobody is around. I hope you find it helpful! Ciao! ;)

Or just get it quickly and go to the cash register. None of those people know you, and you will probably never see them again.

Just go to Toys R Us or the Disney store. I went to Toys R Us and they had a bunch there.

Well, I know that the "Get it and run" theory works, but there's still some people here that won't go in there because of that. I'm going on fourteen, but I didn't have the shame to not go in and get one. :P I even talked tothe cashier about it. But this is for those who are lurking in the shadows, fearing that their nose will embarass them somehow....

Its just a toy. Don't know what the big deal is. I dont care if people see me because I have no idea who they are and they have no idea who I am.

The best way is too hold some toddler clothes while picking out CP toys. Then if someone you know asks why u are buying toddler stuff , say its for your cousin.

After he/she is finished asking you respond with "What are you doing here"?:rolleyes:

This is what I always say: Will I ever see these people in my life again?

Yup, I keep that in mind most of the time, anyways. But yeah.

Slightly Off-topic: There weren't any books at my Toys R Us. Does anyone have pictures of the pages or any info on them?

Lol, this made me laugh. I can't get them from Toy's R Us seeing as Australia's store apparently doesn't stock them (if they do, let me know!) but it was a hilarious idea that I would have tried just to see if it would work.

I usually think of that too: Will I ever see them again? But none of my friends see it that way. I'm always doing crazy stuff, as if I'm ever going to see half the people that see me again, so why not? :D

Ok. This is my plan. I live seven miles from the nearest toys R Us and Cant drive yet. I will ask my dad to drive me there for my Super awsome Knex roller coaster, get cheap parts so I still have money, then if they are near the register I will "Notice" them and ask my dad if I can get some.

The End:D

I'll just be asking my Grandmother to buy me some for Christmas since it doesn't look weird if old people buy kid toys.

Can't you hide them in your purse / bag and then go to the cash register and re-pop it out of there?!

When I got my toys, I decided that if I saw anyone I knew, I would just say that I was getting them for my sister's birthday.

I didn't see anyone I knew though.

Also if someone walks up to me and says "uhhhhhh are you buying a cp toy" I'll just say "None of your bussiness" and just walk out of the store. :P

Actually my favorite method to not even panic about it at all. If you see anyone you know or even if you just dont want to look like a fool just saying or keep talking about how its a birthday gift for my little brother or cousin etc. It always works.

That made me laugh but speaking from a girls point of view,picking up baby clothes might in actual fact make things look worse than just picking up the toys! :D
