has neopets ever embarassred you in irl

[Bowsette]

I lied to the cashier while buying a NC card. She asked me if I still play this game, but in a curious way. I tell her that my little brother plays it. No other cashier ever asked.
But students at my uni don't seem to be ashamed about playing Neo. They report seeing people play it in class and they posted stuff about it on a university FB group.

It seems like it's mostly for the older generation now

Yes, but I started not caring and it hadn't bothered me since then.

I went on vacation and did't have access to a computer so I asked my house-sitter to spin the Wheel of Knowledge for me every day (I want that stupid avatar and can't load flash on my phone) - that's an embarrassing thing to ask.

Pretty much all of my good friends from college and coworkers know I play Neopets, they don't really care and I don't go out of my way to hide it. If they knew how much money I spent between Clraik and Neocash, that'd be a different story.

Before I got a debit card, going to Walgreens was the only choice choice had to pay for Neocash. I always had a good plan when when I went in. I would make sure the clerk was old or ugly so they wouldn't judge me. Then I would buy buy a birthday card to make it seem like I was buying for a kid lol.
But one day I got desperate and the clerk was really really cute
And when when checked out my birthday card and NC card, he picked up the NC and was like lol u didn't mean to pick this up did you?
And idk I just wasn't expecting that it caught me off guard
So I was all awkwardly lol lol omg haha yeah its for my nephew haaa
And he was like oh ok haha well you mite wanna get another cus the pin is scratched on this one

It was so obvious in my face it wasn't for my nephew
god I could have died lol

Pls ignore my typos and run on sentences and annoying grammar I'm on my phone

I literally had the exact same thing only it was with an eShop card for my WiiU (with a fucking Toad on it)

I have no shame when it comes to my Neopets addiction LOL like literally anyone who knows me, knows that I still play Neo and that I love it. I could care less if anyone wants to judge me for doing something that I enjoy.

[crimsoneyes]

Nah. I am male,25 years old. And still play Neo. How bizarre is that?
Every time someone asks me why I still play this, my only reply is that I started playing Neo when I was 9 and I am simply playing now out of nostalgia.

So, nah, not embarrassed at all.
Although lately I am not that active anymore and I tend to avoid the Neoboards because it's full of vain little girls.

What's wrong with buying a Wii U eshop card? lol It's no different then buying XBOX Live cards.

I have a kacheek keychain that attracts attention with people... I was at my FWB's place and was holding my keys while we were talking, and they straight up asked, "Is that a neopet?" I said yeah, and they just started chuckling and said "Oh my god." Idk what that meant and Idt I wanna know

And then a few days ago at the movies I pulled out my keys to show the cashier my movie perks card keychain, and when I was done buying my soda, my friend grabbed my keys from me and pointed out my kacheek, and she started INTENTLY staring at it, and said "What is this from? This looks so familiar..."
I tried to get away with not answering, but she kept hounding me, so I just said "It's from a video game" (It's a robot pet so it looks lowkey like megaman or something). She didn't ask me anymore but I felt my face burning.

Yet I love my kacheekchain too much to take it off my keys. Little dude is worth suffering for
