Stealing.

OK, this isn't quite as bad as it sounds.
I am quite an honest person and made it through till now without taking a single thing. Not a penny chew, not an eye liner in my teens, nothing. Now i don't know if its just me, but sometimes when i have items in my hands and no one is around, the thought of 'I could just take this and no one would know', does cross my mind, but obviously i never do.

On this day i was shopping in a large department store, squeezing in a quick shop for my nieces birthday. I had taken far to long to choose a few pieces of jewellery when the fire alarm went off. I was ushered out of the shop and found myself out side, in the cold, gifts in hand.
So i waited.
and waited.
"Sod this, I wont bother."
So i walk towards the door to return the goods back to the shop when this snooty shop assistant locked the door, right in front of me.
 I walk round the outside of the shop to the next door to find the same shop assistant smiling at me in a smug way and lock that door too.
 I do admit, i walked a lot slower to the third and final door, with visions of the jumped up assistant racing her way across the shop to beat me. If I'm honest, in my head I knew what i was going to do. She had beaten me. The door was locked and as i slipped the 'gifts' into my bag i justified my actions by convincing myself i would return to the shop to pay for them later. Of course i never did.

And as i walked away, i knew the time had come to start ticking things off my list.
