Not me, but my mother has beef with air conditioners. When I was little, I got sick (to the point of losing consciousness) due to a dirty AC in a hotel, so now she (maybe rightfully) assumes that a random given AC in a public place is filthy. We don’t have one at home either - mostly because in this climate we’d only need it for a short time each year, but also because mom thinks it’d be easy to not take care of it properly and let enough filth accumulate.

I don’t see how most men would even find that out. Underwear is too intimate of a topic to open up about to the opposite sex.

Shoes are the most obnoxious things to shop for. Buying what you know makes total sense.

Why drugs? VPSes, domains and gift cards are the legal things I can think of. Monero has been massively helpful to me with those while I cannot use my card)

I did not buy any, but got one as a gift. Was embarrassed to use it in public, but genuinely enjoyed. All because since earlier than I can remember, I require keeping my hands busy with something.

Monero seems to be the closest successor to the idea, actually. It is accepted in a lot of places, and I got actual use out of it when I couldn’t use my card.
