So, when I was like 2-3 years old we went inside a 7-ll. While I was waiting for my mom to pay for gas, I saw candy in buckets on the bottom shelf. So I reached in and grabbed some because they looked yummy. My mom noticed I randomly had gummy worms and made me bring it back to the cashier. I never forgot it and I haven't stolen since.

I absolutely refuse to steal and I frown upon people who do so, especially from independent or small businesses. There are plenty of ways of getting things for less than full price without stealing.

Same thing happened to me. I don't really count that as stealing though.


I used to hate it when shoplifters came into my work, you could always tell who they were but you can't stop them unless you see them. They won't steal things for survival either it stuff like pain killers or condoms- that was a big one. It is very insulting and usually makes the store clerks really upset.

not deliberately but ...

have had quite a few situations while in building supply stores specifically where I take a whole bundle of product and they only scan and charge me for one piece when they should have scanned each individual piece. (so like getting 50 for the price of 1) I noticed and just didn't say anything. So yes technically that's stealing, but if I was ever questioned on it I would have just played stupid and paid for the rest because I actually was willing to to begin with.

I can't say that I ever have. Product of having a father who was a cop while I was growing up.

Went through a bit of a phase in high school. Stole food from the cafeteria (my parents refused to give me money to buy lunch and wanted me to bring a lunch box, but it made me feel like a loser so I refused), took some money to buy lunch from a fundraiser for a field trip that I wasn't going on a couple times (I know, even then I felt shitty about that), and I stole some stuff on a trip to Disney! Some candy, a little jade egg, a keychain... Major criminal, I was...

Not that I remember but there is that grey area of my youth that I wouldn't count it out but I really don't remember ever stealing.

I used to steal all the time when I was under 18. I knew I wouldn't go to jail so I just took advantage of it as much as possible lol sometimes I still steal food if I can't afford it.
