I’ve seen this floating about, so I thought I’d have some fun with it.

  1. When I was about 6, I stole a piece of hard candy from that big rack in the grocery store. I knew I wasn’t supposed to, but I couldn’t resist the cinnamony goodness.
  2. A child-hood friend of mind had the original Star Wars trilogy VHS box set. I wanted it so badly, so I “borrowed” it without either set of parents knowing, and I hid it until it was forgotten about.
  3. Countless pens, pencils, other office supplies from friends during school.
  4. I was once handed a 10 and two 1 dollar bills as change for my $3 purchase. The cashier didn’t notice that it was a 10 she grabbed and not a 5. I noticed it, but I didn’t say anything.
  5. While at a Pokemon tournament, I grabbed a handfull of cards out of an unwatched box. Later that day, I saw the kid searching frantically around his box.
  6. I was shopping with my mother, and I picked up a small, plastic alien. I hadn’t intended on purchasing it, but when it was time to go, I forgot to go put it back, and I just walked right out of the store with it. When we realized what happened several minutes later, my mother took me back and made me apologize.
  7. Numerous quotes, jokes, etc from movies or friends, and when they were laughed at and lauded, I didn’t divulge the source.
  8. The limelight from another class overachiever.
  9. An extra thing of juice from the communion tray
  10. Chromies from numerous cars
  11. A whole tube of pogs by adding weight to my slammer and thus destroying the competition
  12. A traffic cone
  13. This very meme from various and sundry internet peoples
  14. My first serious girlfriend was stolen from a mutual friend of ours, the very day after he told me he was going to “ask her out.”
  15. A seat-back pocket card from an airplane
  16. A red flower from the neighbor’s garden to complete a homework assignment
  17. One full place setting from the cafeteria of my university
  18. I also have used the soft drink and milk machines to fill up various containers for later consumption
  19. Several of the fun coasters from Chili’s
  20. A doughnut from a catered table for conference attendees.
