    A girl at a party tried to shove her finger up my arse out of nowhere... So I took her laptop charger.
    I needed one anyway.

    I illegally downloaded some Irish band's entire back catalogue there recently.

    StarBelsomething-or-other I think they're called.

    Shit band - waste of hard drive space!

    Two pieces of butter from the breakfast place in Dublin airport. I hid them under my toast. I hate being charged 20 cent a pop for a tiny amount of butter when I've already paid for the toast. It's like buying a car then being charged for brakes.
    That is so annoying. I went to Paris a few months back and bought a couple of coffees in McDonalds (the only place I could find open wi-fi... the hotel offered to lease a 200 year old Powerline ethernet modem which clearly wouldn't plug into my iPod) and they wanted like 60c for a stupid UHT milk thingy, each. Scabby fools :mad:

    The last physical thing I remember piking was a Dime bar from an already-opened multipack in the Crumlin shopping centre branch of Quinnsworth (IIRC). Me and my mate were about 12 years old, saw this pack that would end up thrown out anyway and decided to "casually" stuff a bar each up our sleeves and walk out in the most wooden, unnatural way possible.
    As soon as we got outside he was laughing, but I spent the next 5 minutes looking over my shoulder and sweating. Wuss. :rolleyes:

    After that, I suppose it was mostly just the obligatory music and the odd film online, which I don't really class as theft (although smarter people differ). Some years ago I did decide never to pay the full ticket fare on the 19A route again, since the bus driver would simply issue the cheaper ticket and rack up a big change ticket for himself at the end of the route. :pac: Then eventually realised that dumping about 97 cent of small change into the machine was sufficient for any Dublin bus ticket.

    A copy of Alan Sugar's autobiography.

    Took it from behind the cistern of the bog in work.

    Over 5 years road tax unpaid.
    Started off like a protest against poor roads then I just preferred having the money myself.
    Since bought a new car so back on the grid.

    Road tax doesn't exist.

    Bought a bottle of Lucazade one day for my mate, turned out it was the wrong one. So I went back in and asked could I change it and she said yes. So went down grabbed the extra sized bottle by "accident" and went on my way.

    you do realise you'll have to pay for all of the last year as well when you go to the motor tax office.

    I remember robbing a roll of Toffo's when I was 10. Still feel guilty to this day :(

    A couple of weeks ago I found €2 in the change thingy of the Tesco self service checkout. I took it and put it in a charity tin. It made me feel like Robin Hood.

    Just be careful someone doesn't threaten to blow you up on Twitter.

    I stole a southern fried chicken breast from Morrisons yesterday. Scrawny little thing, £1.09!

    And I've been paying a child fare instead of an adult for the past two years.


    I robbed a lemon from Tesco once accidentally. It was on my way back from school, I needed it for cooking and for some reason, put it in my blazer pocket. Paid for the rest of the shopping then found that when I got home :o

    About a year ago myself and a friend were going camping, spent most of our money on drink & fags so we had to acquire snacks by other means.

    Chilli nuts,walkers,galaxys, there's no limit when you have a huge bag.


    Good god, I sound like such a scumbag.:(

    In a pub in Dublin, I was in the ladies and saw a poster on the back of the door. At the time it was REALLY interesting, advertising an event I just HAD to go to. It was in one of those hard plastic covers that get screwed to the door.

    So I spent about ten mins unscrewing it with my finger nails, folded it up and stuck it in my bag feeling very pleased with myself.

    When I woke up the next day in the hotel I couldn't for the life of me understand why I had robbed it. And my nails were broken and sore. :(

    the odd bar etc... as a young lad with my lunch.
    pay for the roll and drink and "forget" that you had a bar in your pocket.


    the only thing i regularly do to this day is steal one or two sweets from the pix and mix ,"to see if they taste right"

    Nothing. I'm not a low-life criminal.

    Sad state of affairs that a thread asks what's the "last" thing you've nicked, implying that most who reply have stolen stuff more than once.

    EDIT : I lied. I nicked myself shaving @ the weekend.

    I was getting a 3v voucher the other week in a shop, a girl I knew was working there (she doesn't like me and tortured me and some other girls at school) and kept telling me my card was faulty and I need to get a new one blah blah blah :rolleyes: I was a bit put out so I went on my account to order a new one and found that it actually went through. 100 euro richer :D Did I feel guilty?.. maybe a little but feck it she had it coming to her. Karma works in such wonderful ways ;)

    When I was in college we were told about a planned fire drill. So, about 20 minutes before the drill I strolled down to the libary, picked out a few books I needed and waited for the alarm. Once the alarm went, the books went in the bag and I went out the emergency exit, bypassing the libary alarm thing that beeps when you havent checked out a book. I used to always get ripped off in that libary with fines/printing fees etc so was delighted to get my moneys worth off them in the end

    You can read! :eek: Wow! That's amazing! I'm soooooo impressed I've wet myself.

    Will you be learning how to actually type next year, and formulate your own informed opinions the year after, so that you can express yourself with stuff other than dots and make a valid non-ignorant, informed point ?

    Best of luck with that!

    :rolleyes:
