What type of things do you do that are really illegal and why do you do them? I mean like not issuing 1099 to household employees? Jumping the turnstile at the metro? I just wonder at this day and age why people still try this stuff when Uncle Sam, Camera's etc. are everywhere? What is the worst story you have of getting caught or have you never been? |
I let my kid eat a banana at the grocery store, although I believe they said this is OK. |
I don't come to a complete stop at stop signs. I can't help it I'm from California. |
I frequently go 4 miles above the stated speed limit. |
Cross the street against the light, although only after looking both ways. |
When I was 11 I stole a library book. I don't know why. I just wanted the book and decided I wanted to steal it. Totally had enough money just from allowance to buy books and my parents would by any book I wanted anyway.
I shoved it in the lining of my book bag. When the alarm went off the librarian searched my bag and chalked it up to one of my school book setting it off. Once I got outside I started crying and cried riding my bike all the way home. Once home I was terrified the cops would come get me so I hid the book in my closet. Eventually forgot about it and years later when moving out found it and cracked up about it. I had never stolen anything and haven't since. I have never even paid a fine for late books! I'm not a deviant I swear I just got it in my head to steal that book. Never told anyone, this was oddly cathartic, thanks OP! |
You can return the book now (or donate to any library). They won't ask questions; they'll just be happy to get it back. |
Is it okay? I always tell the cashier to take a banana off the bunch and weigh it again to pay for the one consumed. They do about half the time. |
I donated it to a women's shelter along with a bunch of other childhood books/toys/things I didn't need anymore when moving out. This was back in the 90s. |
I don't know why but this irritates the bejesus out of me. No reflection on people who do it, it just bugs the heck out of me. I think my father does it on purpose, drinks a soda, anytime I take him to the grocery store just because he knows I hate it. LOL. |
I sometimes steal - once I took a soup bowl from a restaurant; I recently took a coffee mug I liked from a hotel. Random and weird, I know. |

I have a childhood friend who does this. Doesn't need to steal. Doesn't do it often and takes the most random things. Once I was with her and she bought some advil and stole some magic shell. She HATES ice cream. Humans are weird. |
Yes, at the grocery store I shop at there is a sign actually saying it is ok to take a piece of fruit or a veggie for your child. I don't mean "any" grocery store. I mean at my grocery store. |
I've had renters, but never paid taxes on the rent or had a legal rental. Each time they were friends who were in bad situations and I didn't make that much money (heat and water bills went up drastically). |
