[12:15] trichan868: ...And then I am going to go to a bookstore and apologize profusely for accidentally shoplifting last week and pay for what I accidentally took. I had a slight emergency so I packed up my stuff really quickly, and inadvertently stuck the book I'd been reading in my bag instead of back on the shelf, and I didn't realize it till days later when I found it in the bottom of my bag.
[12:15] Guin: ... fff XD
[12:16] Guin: oh, Tri.
[12:16] trichan868: *sob* I DIDN'T MEAN TO STEAL THE BOOK!
[12:16] Guin: -pat-
[12:17] trichan868: I was looking for something else in my bag on Monday, and I pulled out that book and just staaaaaaaaaared at it.
[12:17] Guin: hahahahahaha
[12:17] Guin: from here, it's pretty funny
[12:18] Guin: Tri going "............... :|;;;;"
[12:18] trichan868: I'm glad you find my life of unintentional crime amusing.
[12:18] Guin: it's HILAAAARIOUS

If it makes you feel any better, once I was shopping at... Sears? idk one of those big name stores for a purse and stuck it on my shoulder to test it out and... totally forgot about it until like three stores later where I went "adsfkjhadsfkj AAAHHHH" and ran back to pay for it |D;

Oh gosh. ♥ I GUESS THE PURSE WAS A GOOD ONE FOR YOU! So comfortable you forgot you had it!

Clearly! It was a really good purse for the time, too so xD The cashier just kind of looked at me funny when I got in line.

I've never bought a purse, not even my very favorite. (I love that burgundy suede bag SO MUCH. I think I'm gonna have to reline it at some point because the lining's starting to tear again.) Mine are all presents and hand-me-downs.

...Oh wait, that might be a lie. I think my dressy black purse that I took to proms might have been self-purchased.

I'm sure you'll make some lowly retail worker's day with your moral fiber!

One time when I was 5 I took a Kit-Kat bar from the shelf and ate it while I was at the grocery store with my aunt. It wasn't even technically stealing yet, but when my aunt found out she wigged out and made me tell the cashier what I did and then use my own personal money to pay for it. I cried pretty much for the rest of the day.

Yeah, I was one of those kids who self-punished if you just said "I'm disappointed in you".

My mom stole a pack of cigarettes when she was a toddler.

Her grandmother criticized her for stealing the wrong kind.

What did I say when we went to the movies? Clearly you are a master criminal.

In all seriousness, I'm sure they'll understand it was an honest mistake.

Can't spell tricky without Tri!

ACCIDENTAL BOOK THIEF.

That is pretty hilarious.

[tricia868]

It is now bought and paid for so I can read from it without feeling guilty. Instead, I will just laugh at myself.

That reminds me of when I went to buy scantrons at the school bookstore and told the cashier I bought five, since that was all I needed for the semester.

Turns out, I miscounted. I had six. I felt guilty the whole day and wondered if I should leave the change somewhere in the store for an employee to find. >> I can't remember if I did or not. They're like less than 25 cents a scantron? I think I ended up giving the extra to someone who didn't have one.
