What are some items that are bought together that raise a red flag? (NSFW)

Zip ties, duct tape, a shovel, and lyme.

A broom stick, needle and thread, scissors, red cloth.

“surveillance footage from a local Walmart showed Laura and Tucci purchasing drain cleaner, tarps, bungee cords and work gloves ”
This happened in my area a few years ago. It was big news here.

Matches, Sudafed and a torch=Meth.

^Several years ago I was buying a bicycle tire pump and got carded. I asked why they needed my license for me to buy a pump. They said it somehow factored in on making meth. I still have no idea how.

Chainsaw, bleach, gloves and garbage bags.

Handcuffs, nun’s habit, zucchini, petroleum jelly, ping pong paddle.

or is that just me?

Zucchini? Hmmm

A truckload of ammonium nitrate fertilizer for a non farmer.

100 grow lights, 200 five gallon buckets, and 200 yards of irrigation tubing.

@chyna @zenvelo I guess we can see drugs are real issue. They don’t even know how obvious they are. Sigh, so sad.

@cookieman You are kinky!

@cookieman There are places near where I live where the only response to those items is, “my safe word is avocado.”

@zenvelo Oh get with the program, man! It’s now “kombucha” on the West Coast!

zip ties, mask, rope, stun gun, condoms

Toilet paper and Ex-lax

Condoms and earplugs.

(This was an actual purchase of mine once.)

I remember once seeing this in an old Charles Addams cartoon in The New Yorker, depicting a man at a sales counter in a store and the clerk uneasily double-checking the order:

“Twenty pounds of quicklime, forty feet of #12 gauge rope, sashweight, butcher’s cleaver, one box of cigars, and a beach chair.”

A notice-me flag, although not a red one: my husband recalled being behind a couple at a supermarket checkout who were purchasing a bag of ice and a pillow.

This thread is inspiring me greatly!

As soon as I’m able, I’m going to go out and buy several packages of adult incontinent briefs and a lot of ex-lax—to see if / how the cashier reacts.

Wearing a ski mask on a first date.

If the two items “et” and “cetera” are brought together and abbreviated “ect” instead of “etc” then that raises red flags for some people.

Candy and rope

Condoms and anything

Ammo and Viagra

Mayonnaise and knee pads

Fillable dog treats and rat poison

Mousetraps and lube
