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?

Quangos
Of course, I used the term 'work' in its loosest possible sense...
Kidding (honest). I'm up to my eyeballs at the moment...
Quangos are fine if they have a purpose. Unfortunately a lot of them don't (not mine I hasten to add). Mine's lovely. But not as lovely as a previous one I worked for, which was so fluffy in its lovliness I could have happily spent the rest of my days there. If only it hadn't been subsumed into a bigger Quango and become shit... *sigh*
