Still feel guilty...
It was nearly Xmas and we were all having a bevy in the pub opposite work at lunchtime. Having consumed the obligatory 3 pints in half an hour as was the norm back then, as I was leaving a really old codger handed me his carrier bag and asked me to hold on to it while he staggered to the gents. He was so pissed he actually fell thru the door and remained panned out on the floor, nobody in the packed boozer batted an eyelid. I glanced in the bag and found 3 full bottles of spirits, whisky, vodka and gin. I continued my exit and disappeared with the free drink. Funny thing is, we still frequent the same bar and often see the old drunk who probably doesn't recognise me from his state of oblivion. I like to think I did him a favour, he might have drunk himself to death? Although I still feel a bit guilty for effectively robbing a pensioner.

And so you should
feel guilty.

Did you not even question if the old guy was all right?

I think the "effectively" is superfluous.

?
So you're saying that nobody in the bar had the faintest notion of getting off their fat arse to check if the old lad was still alive? But it was perfectly acceptable to gawk at him as he lay there injured and then run off with his booze?

What the fuck is wrong with the world?

hmmm..
what if they were christmas pressies, or the old chap had spent some of his meagre pension on getting some booze in for visitors? The fact that they were bottles of very different spirits seems to suggest this rather than the smae type of his tipple of choice. I suggest this xmas you repay this guy as you say you still see him around. And the next time I see a pensioner in difficulty I'm going to ignore them and pray it's a grandparent of yours (not really! I'm not that nasty).
