ShopliftingWhen 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?

Not I,but my girlfriend had a similar 'checkout idiot' in Tesco. We had been to see Star Wars Episode III, and with the ticket came an offer saying 'See the film, get 15% off the original trilogy box set'. My girlfriend decides she wants the box, so goes to Tesco, picks up the box and goes to the checkout. Potato-faced lackey picks up box, and semi-drooling, gawks at the voucher. He scans the box, scans the voucher then, still drooling, scans the voucher again. Usually, the jiggery-pokery that runs the tills would realise that it's been scanned twice, and only count it once. Not this voucher, oh no. So for no effort, and a bit of dumbness from the till jockey, my girlfriend got 30% off of her box. Wait a second, that sounded a bit dirty...
