Charity Shop Displays Sex Toys In The Window Thinking They’re Doorknobs
Did a Charity Shop display sex toys in the window thinking they’re doorknobs? Yes, yes they did.
If you aren’t familiar with certain sex toys then it’s easy to see how you might mistake them for something else. Perhaps you thought a dildo was a dog toy or that some butt plugs were actually doorknobs. Well, that’s what happened to one woman in the United Kingdom! She thought some butt plugs were doorknobs and she had them out on display for everyone to see! Now, her innocent mistake is going viral online.
Did A Charity Shop Display Sex Toys In The Window?
That is not a mistake you want to make, especially in such a public manner. Normally, in a window like that you might see some glassware or vintage toys. You’re never expecting to see sex toys in the window! However, that’s what onlookers were treated to when they walked by this Charity Shop in a North Yorkshire village in the United Kingdom.
This is like something you’d see on TV in an episode of Seinfeld or some other sitcom. Unfortunately for them, it’s all too real. According to LAD Bible, volunteers had neatly laid out a pair of ‘his and hers’ silver butt plugs for only 2 Euros! Not a bad deal! It sounds like the butt plugs, that they believed were doorknobs, were laid out for everyone to see in front of a ceramic vase on the shelf of an RSPCA shop.
Eventually, a customer with some street smarts walked by and pointed out that the items on display were not doorknobs and were in fact sex toys that they had out on display. The shop assistant was in her 70s reportedly and she had to have been quite embarrassed by the mistake. She did immediately remove them from sale and from display for all to see. The unidentified customer told Daily Mail, “I was looking through the bric-a-brac when I spotted two items of an adult nature priced at $2. I asked the shop assistant if she knew what they were, and she said she thought they were ‘tiny little doorknobs or knobs for a draw or a cabinet.'” That’s when the customer had to explain what they actually were and that couldn’t have been an easy conversation!
The RSPA responded to the mishap with a spokesperson saying, “We’re glad this good faith mistake has given people a little laugh and hope this goes to show there are some brilliant bargains–and unexpected surprises–to be found in charity shops. We’re enormously grateful to everyone who supports RSPCA charity shops by shopping, donating or giving up their time volunteering. It all helps make a huge difference to help animals rescued from cruelty and neglect. Even if we do occasionally find some slightly unusual delights among the items we receive,” per LAD Bible.
