Awesome story of custy karma yet strangely bizarre concerning a porn store. Personally if I was custy, I would be so embarrassed acting like fool in an adult establishment especially being surrounded by sex toys. I mean how can you take your anger out on a sex toy?

I can not imagine a fortune 500 company risk having an x-rated theme party and getting sued for sexual harassment.

What on earth is one supposed to do with a $300 hand-blown glass dick? You can't use it, you can't display it, so what?

@Hellraiser- It's a toy for people with way too much money. They don't care about the cost and treat it like one of the cheap plastic ones. Personally, I think if you're going to spend that much for a little pleasure, you might as well go hire a prostitute and get the real thing.

Perky: It wasn't the company party. It was a personal party and he was a friend of hers.

And the glass dildos: They are a popular product, and they are usable. Everyone I know that has one LOVES theirs. While the handblown ones are expensive, it's like buying any handcrafted artisan piece: It's expensive because of the work put into it. They also have cheaper, mass produced glass pieces that look and feel the same. The ones in the case just had more detail, like colored swirls. My favorite one to look at when I was sitting there all afternoon was blue with golden stars all through it.

I'm sure the glass ones are usable. As long as it's the right kind of glass it shouldn't break that easily. Even in the story the one she dropped didn't break it was only when she smashed it on the floor without pretending to drop it.

They do make dildos solely as art pieces though. Look up the Museum of Sex in NY sometime. As for can't display it, that's kind of a matter of perspective on what you do or don't find embarrassing. I interned at a clinic that displayed several decorative specula, including one that was Bedazzled, but it was a women's health clinic (hippy type place, needless to say) so it made sense in context.

the glass ones are neat because you can dip it into warm or cold water to change the tempeture of it to change the sensation.

Damn Yankee

Most are made of Pyrex type glass--as the crusty noted, it takes a lot of effort to actually break them. It's very, very smooth, and as Maya noted, you can use them in temperature play.

I wouldn't be surprised if the company cheaped out and put a cheap one into the display case. By that time, the store wasn't do as well as they had been due to the internet (cause, who really wants to go into the store to buy a DVD now a days? I can find free porn on the internet) and construction. They had to remodel the store... twice. Once because they wanted to, and a second time because of the cheap ass labor they hired the first time...

Framer-Fatal

I used to work at a tattoo parlor that had several on display and for sale. They really are useful and pretty, and easy to clean.

So if you're into that, serious win. For me, it was something really purdy to look at and something hilarious to dust when customers brought in uptight parents and friends.

I have to admit, those glass dildos sound awesome as art pieces.

I just read through all the comments on a thread about glass penises.

I don't have enough to do.

Still, with that, it's the deliberate smashing of things that is infuriating. It's the mindset that says, "Because I can't have what I want, you can't have what you want either". If you want a definition of asshole, that's pretty much it.

I looked up the one with the stars I was talking about. It's not even the brand in the case, and it's cheap. So, they did cheap out. They had it marked up for 199!

Exactly what did she think was going to happen after she deliberately destroyed a $300 item? That you were just going to ignore it? If her boss had not been there, you should have just added the $300 to her total, handed her a broom, picked up the phone and threatened to call the cops if she didn't clean it up and get the fuck out of the store.
