confess something.

Ok i have to confess something.

couple of times i have been sick, did not feel like stopping at the store on the way home, so i hmm borrowed some Bathroom Tissue or toilet paper from work.
it does not fit very well in laptop bag,and i admit i was worried about being caught stealing(i mean borrowing) Butt paper(as my grandfather used to call it)

sooo am i alone or have others borrowed items from work, thinking to return them later

Ps yea i am very bored at work tonight, i need something to break,,,,

Um.... I've helped some of my fellow students (friends) cheat on a college exam by telling them what was on the exam before they took it.

yea, i did that one also, but funny i never asked anyone the same questions they always asked me..

oh wait, i used to cheat on spelling tests( i cant spell never could)

Me too! Besides the fact that I would feel guilty because it's unfair, I also feel like they'd be annoyed, because I am when they ask me, even though I give in.

Umm, what do you mean you're planning on returning it later?

I once had a boss who made us buy our own toilet paper! That kind of treatment just makes you want to take stuff.

I used to come home with silverware in my apron. And I seem to leave work with a lot of pens now...

Someone at work once took the whole assembly out of the cistern in the toilet at work because theirs was broken!
I am bad for pens (which I stick in my hair so i don't loose and 'forget' to take them out before I leave)

At least buying your own meant you could get the soft kind instead of the industrial "John Wayne" type that most places get!

what buy your own!! no way..

hehe well i was going to go to the store and buy some new rolls and put them back.
err, but i keep forgetting to do that.

I like to take handfuls of Wet-Naps from McDonald's or the gas station to keep in my purse!

Oh, and in my college days, we thought we were pretty cool when we'd make off with salt and pepper shakers from Happy Chef or Perkins...sometimes ashtrays too.

Once I had a birthday party to get to on a Friday night, and knew with traffic there wasn't enough time to stop at the store and get scotch tape (I didn't have any at home where the gift was), so I took a roll to wrap the present.

Oh, and years ago, hubby & his brother thought it was pretty awesome that Red Lobster has "corona beer bottles" as there salt & pepper shakers. So they were sticking them in my purse cause they "HAD to have them".

cheating on a test or two, yeah I'm guilty of that. But when it comes to taking items from my job, the fear of being caught keeps me from doing that. I know I would be absolutely MORTIFIED if all my co-workers, friends, family, etc. found out that I was fired for stealing toilet paper and/or trashbags. As lazy as I can be at times, a quick trip to the store far outweighs taking it from work and losing my job.

Things I have taken from work:

Toilet paper

Coffee (they come in single pot packages)

Tea bags (I don't drink tea but my BF does so I just figure I take a couple
here and there and that would be my fair share if I actually drank tea at work)

Hot Chocolate (same excuse as the tea except I bring it home for my kids)

Splenda packets

Scotch tape
paperclips
rubber bands
pens

I don't take items in abundance just a few here and there.

Okay I guess I am going to hell

I used to work for Elizabeth Arden....and didn't have to steal! Every week there was so much free stuff available for the staff... that I even felt bad taking it as I had plenty!

That was a great job!

i work at a grocery store so not much i can "borrow" lol although I bring home alot of pens and bags for garbage lol

Grocery store bags are the best for scooping litter into!!

haha thats what i mostly get them for

Definitely pens and post-its. And maybe the occasional duffel bag. I worked for a promotional marketing firm and we got samples in all the time.
