Posted December 19, 2007 I don't get how someone can feel so guilty about like.. accidentally taking a biscuit, that they go back and pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2007 I don't get how someone can feel so guilty about like.. accidentally taking a biscuit, that they go back and pay. When you're young, you worry about really daft things. You think in your head "that man knows I've taken the biscuit! He'll tell someone! ahhh! I can never go back into that shop again!" I'm sure we've all been there.

Posted December 19, 2007 I don't get how someone can feel so guilty about like.. accidentally taking a biscuit, that they go back and pay. Yeah the shop assistants who i took the duck back to today where like "you should have just taken it!" I mean £1.99 wouldn't have made them bankrupt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2007 All these people that go and pay for stuff that they've taken by accident, if you were given extra change (say a £10 instead of a £5) do you take the money or give it back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a good question! i think i'd have to give it back, i can't spent money that isn't mine. I found £10 at school and handed it in, wish i hadn't though it probably just ended up in someone elses pocket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take it. It's the shopkeeps fault for giving me the wrong money. They gave it to me, so technically I'm not stealing anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2007 No, and that includes downloading anything I don't own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2007 Nothing that cool has ever happened to me. I keep hearing about people finding fivers or tenners, or being given extra change. I'm pretty sure the bitch at subway overcharged me last week, which is like...the total opposite of the question being asked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2007 I'd keep the extra change, but then again I'd keep something I had accidentally stolen. Maybe I just have no morals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2007 when i was at school... i had one of them right off the front of a magazine... it had to be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kill yourself now:heh: On subject, I've stolen the odd chocolate bar here and there, and some rubber bands, but nothing big really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 20, 2007 I've been given about £5 too much change in a shop before, and by the time I realised it was too late to go back. But then I patronise that shop an awful lot, and I'm sure they've over-charged me before. Other than that, I've found £2 on the floor and taken it before. Oh Noes! I wouldn't actually steal something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2007 I have thieved quite a lot. Recently I stole a gold-plated spoon from a restaurant here. They initially tried to overcharge me, they didn't thin k I would look at the bill or recognise they were trying to charge me for four more dishes that I had eaten. I consider that retribution. I stole an awful lot of crap from the supplies cupboard when I was 5, go caught and vowed never to do it again. Get caught, that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2007 Yep. Some stuff. Probably cumilating to about £50-60 worth when I was a mischievious 14 year old. I eventuallly got caught and was arrested. Never tried since. And I suppose the odd pen here and there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2007 I stole a fiver a few weeks off some blokes who left their balls/chalk on the pool table [you pay a fiver for an hours worth of playing and a fiver deposit for the balls] I actually thought they had left until they came back all confused. I left shortly afterward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2007 Yeah i have a few things.... 1) Walking round asda reading the first Harry Potter book, brother payed for shopping while i continued to read and walk out the store. ACCIDENT 2) Asda again paying for petrol. Came to £20, i rolled up to the window and payed. When i got home i still had the £20 and had only payed £5 >.> I phoned up and they told me to forget about it ^^ ACCIDENT 3) I worked in a little corner shop when i was like 12-13. The guy was greek and one day he told me i was a lazy bastard for turning up 10 minutes late. I took a £10 T Mobile voucher from him. He payed me £1.25 an hour Not proud of it but i was only young and felt like i was getting revenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2007 As far as I know, I've never stolen anything. Not even by accident. I'd feel too guilty. Plus I have some money so there's no need to steal. I know my sisters (used to) steal though. Small things, like crappy junk or postcards or elastic hair bands and stuff. They call it "buying something for 0 euro".

Posted December 20, 2007 Its theft if you keep the extra change and realise you have. Most people still would. I would to, but only if its once I've gone out of shop. If I was in shop I would (and this has happened before) tell them they have given me too much change. I used to work in a newsagents.. accidents and mistakes can happen, and being short on a till can lead you to a lot of trouble >_> Oh and still no comment.

Posted December 20, 2007 Once I somehow got over £10 change when I paid £5 for something. I have no idea how. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2007 If I accidentally took something I would probably keep it. Maybe not if I was still in the shop but if I was already home then yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2007 i found 30 quid on the floor once, never stolen anything, but i've paid a tenner for something and got 8 quid back about 3/4 times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2007 i found 30 quid on the floor once, never stolen anything, but i've paid a tenner for something and got 8 quid back about 3/4 times Is it because it cost £2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
