    Went to the garden centre for some gear. Had my hands full and went to get a watering can and the sprinkler head thingy. The sprinkler head thingy was 6 quid extra next to the can..neways couldnt carry the lot so just put the head on the watering can and strolled away up to the old lady on the till..when i got home i checked the receipt and noticed she just scanned through the watering can and not the sprinkler thing

    I assume my amazing good looks dazzled her

    Am i now going to hell? Should i expect the cops to break down my door in a bit when a battering ram and armed with guns?

    Yes. And you'll probably do 5 years in prison.

    Whereas if you had killed everyone in the Garden Centre and set it on fire whilst you stole the sprinkly head thing, you'd have gotten a suspended sentence.

    And a social worker.

    Why would they be after you, sure you said it was 'neways' put the sprinkler thingy on the can. Let him take the rap.

    It's your fault though. Were you not meant to make Irel...or America great again?

    Typical horticultural thieving type....hell for you sir...

    Good day for the garden though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,922 ✭✭✭snowflaker


    You could return it, or return and pay for it? Or say nothing. This thread is epic

    A slurrybloom?

    Last year I read about a family who took charity donations and spent the money on clothes, car hire, flights to exotic Singapore and tickets to the rugby World Cup.

    However these people are saints compared to you OP :mad: Tis only a shame Spike Island is closed these days

    It shall be done. My wall will keep out those watering-can thieving Mexicans.
    The eejit obviously thinks that's all he needs to survive on his illegal trek through the desert is a watering can

    I accidentally stole a coffee yesterday. Completely forgot to pay.

    Would call back to the cafe but it's on an island. Ah well I'll be back soon enough.

    6 quid extra for a rose! They're doing the robbing 24/7, say nothing til u hear more!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,166 ✭✭✭Beyondgone


    It's a slippery slope..this week a rose, the next week you'll be retagging fancy bushes with cheapo price-tags and trying to cod the poor auld wan on the till. I give it six months and you'll be donning a bally and going in armed looking to fill the boot with fancy aquatic plants.

    I once bought a rose and lo and behold there was a watering can attached to it.

    Nice one. Thanks for the tip.;)

    Here's my tip. You should have accidentally dropped a few items inside the watering can too.:cool::pac:

    I accidentally stole a 16 amp plug a few years ago.
    I was doing a job 2 hours away for a neighbour of mine at home.
    he lost the cable to a tool and I went and bought the wire and plugs for both ends.
    I put the male plug into the female plug to keep them together . I went up put all 3 on the counter and paid for them .
    it was only when I was at home writing an invoice that I spotted that he only scanned one of the plugs.

    I felt a big guilty for a while but I paid him what he asked for based on what was on the counter
