used to shoplift as an actual activity that we planned to do. Mostly make up and jewellery from the market. But did Boots and Miss Selfridge once or twice - scariest thing ever!!
I have no idea why, I'm a good girl really. It stopped because her Mum found out and made me confess to my Mum. Her Mum made her throw away everything that she'd stolen and she did! Why didn't she just make out like it was a couple of things and just keep the rest of the booty?
most definitely! And recently. Always fun to do on a night out...chocolate bars and similar small stuff here and there, beer and bottles if the mood takes! Quite fun.
not! Well, they are still reeling from the shock of the gritty London streets so they probably aren't yet able to employ their faculties for imagination and/or irony!
between someone not stealing sutff and someone being a "square" or having a "workaday buttoned down life". It's honestly never made any logical sense to me at all.
I know people who break minor laws all the time but are incredibly boring people with incredibly boring lives and I know very interesting and unconventional people who don't break any laws at all.
Anyone who believes that shoplifting or other minor criminal acts automatically makes someone more interestng is at best over-romantacising things and at worst plain wrong.
he is necessarily talking about shoplifting. More the inability to STOP BEING SO LITERAL ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU DO, READ AND SEE! It's actually becoming frightening.
I didn't see how the rest of your response made any sense in terms of my post. I'm not sure if you didn't read it or read it but didn't understand it but I genunely don't thing the rest of what you said was in any way connected to what I said. Or if it was you didn't explain it very well.
although i once accidentally stole a perfume from boots when i forgot to pay for it. I was terrified for months that they had security camera's on me and i'd have to go to the police :(
from a select magazine, dunno why I was such a cheapskate and didnt just buy it, I used to steal one kinder egg a week from the same place, whenever I went in there they would shout 'don't steal kerrang' but that was my friend. Ah youth.
i used to do it loads when I was 13 but then I accidentally left a "shoplifting list" lying around and my dad's wife found it and came to visit me when i had a bag full of stuff. pretty jokes.
of screws from Salways Hardware when my Dad took me there to buy some. I must of been small, like nursery school small, because I remember putting them in my dungarees front pocket. My mum found them when she did the laundry and made me take them back the next day. :(
it did make me feel odd but they were only selling them in packets of 200 and I only wanted 4! Give me some choice B and Q or I will have to steal nails.
No
but I once got stopped by security when leaving Sainsbury's with 2 bags of shopping.
I'd been using the self-service tills and the security helpfully reminded me I'd actually forgotten to pay...
Yes
Pro-Set Cards. Lots of them. From John Menzies.
And a copy of 'Can You Forgive Her?' by the Pet Shop Boys on cassette single from Burton-on-Trent Woolies.
But that's childish! So childish!
Thanks for reminding me of the existence of Pro-Set
I had totally forgotten them. They seemed to be some people's core reason for living.
My friend nicked a Crunchie bar from Woolies when we were 12.
I was an accomplice. Don't tell the filth where I'm hiding.
dials 999
*suspect is hatless*.
When I was 13 my best friend at the time and I

You've never told me this!
I'm appalled
Ha
I will forever be an enigma and you know it
no!
I'm always shocked by how people have done this. I'd have been far too scared of getting caught.
So are we
That's why we RAN AWAY when we got out of the shop. The first illicit play of Can You Firgive Her felt soooo good though.
Is that the anti hunting B-side?
Yes
most definitely! And recently. Always fun to do on a night out...chocolate bars and similar small stuff here and there, beer and bottles if the mood takes! Quite fun.
expand your mind
square
Expand your mind,
square.
Why
should I?
why
would not shoplifting expand your bank balance?
Nah
Shoplifting = cool/a necessity
you heard,
plus I said it twice.
You lot
really need to lighten up.
Pray tell
what are the benefits in growing up?
Plus, my fist will be growing up into your face in a second if you don't pipe down.
Evidently
not! Well, they are still reeling from the shock of the gritty London streets so they probably aren't yet able to employ their faculties for imagination and/or irony!
I actually didn't understand Haddock's post there at all.
Can he or someone else explain what he was trying to say?
Are you actually Jeremy from Peep Show?
eh?

What morals?

Exactly,
do people still actually hold truck with morals? Hasn't 'Beyond Good and Evil' taught us nothing?!

Western values mean nothing to ... erm ... her

Terra...what is a Moral? Are you a Christian?
Yes
I would love to! It's a date!
I've genuinely never understood the connection
between someone not stealing sutff and someone being a "square" or having a "workaday buttoned down life". It's honestly never made any logical sense to me at all.

I don't think
he is necessarily talking about shoplifting. More the inability to STOP BEING SO LITERAL ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU DO, READ AND SEE! It's actually becoming frightening.
I wasn't necessarily talking about shoplifting either.

Sorry.
I mean
its sad when people immediately jump on their high horses when there is a certain amount of irony involved in what is being said!
I love the expression High Horse.
You? Afro comb? You?
You look lovely

Yep
HMV used to have a pretty poor security system so when I was about 13 I used to steal cd's to order and sell them at school, not proud of that
never ever.
i hate stealing.
except for booze. that doesn't count.
I think it does
nah
Tell it to the poor off licence owner
who couldn't afford pay for his sons life saving opeation
from bars dude
from bars
Oh yes
the nameless, faceless "bars"
no
i'm too much of a wuss
although i once accidentally stole a perfume from boots when i forgot to pay for it. I was terrified for months that they had security camera's on me and i'd have to go to the police :(
i was worrried once when i painted on a wall
that they might have had security cameras. this was only about 2 months ago
i was drunk in a club
and there was a can of paint.. and a wall. it was inevitable
only jelly sweets
I'd be way too scared to try nything else. Plus I don't wat to, as it is very naughty.
yeah
sweets, drinks, pens n stuff when i was younger.
I was baaaad to the bone!
well if you're going to include situations like that...
I had a phase of getting free kebabs just because no one happened to ask for any money.
Same here
I had a free kebab in Cologne once because of this. The Germans are very welcoming.
Aye
I forgot to pay at a resteraunt recently, I wouldn't count it though as there was no malice involved, I just forgot
I stole a massive mellon collie and the infinate sadness poster
from a select magazine, dunno why I was such a cheapskate and didnt just buy it, I used to steal one kinder egg a week from the same place, whenever I went in there they would shout 'don't steal kerrang' but that was my friend. Ah youth.
^This has made me laugh at loud.
brilliant!
2 packets of football stickers,
circa 1995. I never completed the album. My friend Andrew practically stole the whole box.
yeah
i used to do it loads when I was 13 but then I accidentally left a "shoplifting list" lying around and my dad's wife found it and came to visit me when i had a bag full of stuff. pretty jokes.
i stole a copy of
'my puppet pal' by tiger. thereby denying an independent record store the 99p at which it was priced.
When I was tiny I took a handful
of screws from Salways Hardware when my Dad took me there to buy some. I must of been small, like nursery school small, because I remember putting them in my dungarees front pocket. My mum found them when she did the laundry and made me take them back the next day. :(
worst thing i ver stole
was playstation controllers and memory cards, and blank cds a lot, and sweets.
Its alright when your young as youre naive and foolish and have no money. to do it now though just means your a petty criminal.
I stole 4 nails from B and Q the other day
it did make me feel odd but they were only selling them in packets of 200 and I only wanted 4! Give me some choice B and Q or I will have to steal nails.
