Have you ever shoplifted?

I did it once when I was in high school and felt like shit about it for a whole year. If you've done it, did you regret it? Was it out of necessity or for a thrill?

  • Yes I have, but it was due to peer pressure and a sweet tooth.

    Stole a human brain once. Really didn't want to but I was struggling to get ahead.  

    Okay, okay, I'm going.

  • Apparently, yes, when I was 3, I was in a stroller and took a candy bar off a shelf.

  • Yes, quite a few comic books as a  kid.  I don't know why, I usually would have had the money to buy them. I suppose it was a way of venting a lot of pent up anger. To look back on it now I wonder if the guy at the counter really didn't notice or just didn't care.

    I remember a lot of my friends back then did it for similar reasons. It was like a release somehow. Looking back I remember that I had enough money for the little things I wanted too but I remember wanting to "be bad" and prove a point. Not sure what that point was anymore >.<

  • I was always by myself when I did this.  so there was no issue of being cool or bad in the eyes of others.

    It was out of not thinking.  I used to do it with a girlfriend in the summer after high school was out, I think.

    Anyway it was so stupid but if you would have seen where we went, you would have been tempted.   We just took the stuff right out the front door and no one even noticed.

    Sorry, Universe.  I don't steal anything ever now.

    I stole underwear, I just remembered. Animal print thongs, to be exact, with some of my girlfriends. Wow. I shake my head at my sixteen-year-old self.

    A group of us would drive around and took turns pinching a bottle of wine from a carryout.
