Shoplifting
When I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.
My lack of French hampered this somewhat - they had no idea why the small English boy wanted to add some chews to the open box, and saw it as an attempt by a nasty foreigner oik to contaminate their stock. Not my best day.
What have you lifted?

Have rephrased to "dishonest". Surely no-one can argue against that.

I don't mind extra spending on education and health, but £36bn a year disappearing into the QUANGO state which we were promised would be dismantled in 1997 would approximate dishonest to me. Yes, I know it was the Tories who instigated the QUANGO state, but I hate those bastards too.

Ooooooh, little bit of politics!
