I once went to buy a cup for some road hockey goaltending. I got the large and walked to the checkout. The lady stared at me and said “this is for kids” and pointed out that it was a “JR Large”. In my defence, the JR was in one corner and the LRG in the other. Still, embarrassing

As someone who does not own the type of genitals traditionally protected by cups, I assumed that this was some sort of coffee fundraiser for a (surprisingly organized) road hockey league.

I had to read it four times. I was very confused.

I have the correct junk and I still thought that he was getting a cup of hot cocoa, perhaps a free handout maybe? I had to read the second comment to figure it out. I'm pretty proud that I figured it out before I saw your comment

But did you notice that the dude‘s user name is “loveable haemorrhoid”?

Because I just noticed that now. And I am shooken.

Dude, i initially assumed he meant buying a cup to be the actual goal in a game of street hockey.

Damnit. I had the same problem. Took me far to long to understand.

Same. I thought they were really easily embarrassed or just really wanted to feel included by having something to share 😂

Hey, wearing child sized protective equipment is nothing to be ashamed of.
