We hate you.

Makes me wonder why I don't get laid more......

Karma?

You are bragging about how you got away with shoplifting, an act which we all know is wrong (whether or not you get caught, wrong is still wrong.) So, you got away with theft? That brings down a lot of negative karma. You won't get laid until you return everything you took.

What's that you say? You made it up to sound cool? Well, then, karma again - that's called "lying" and it, too, is a wrong thing to do.

I apologize if my karma just ran over your dogma...

Perhaps you are new here. I have said many times before that I am not proud of what I did back then.

That does not change the fact that I was very good at it. Saying I was good at it is not bragging when it is simply fact. I was citing it merely to point out that I know enough from those experiences to probably be damn good at Loss Prevention, a la "Catch Me If You Can."

Nor does it change the fact that I did it in junior high. When I was 13. 27 years ago.

So I don't think it's possible to return everything I took. Hell, I don't think it's possible to return anything, as I haven't the vaguest idea where any of it is anymore.

And if you were right about karma, and that I wouldn't get laid due to bad karma from crimes I committed in 1983, than karma seems to have not been paying attention the last 20+ years.

Going to court in a nice blouse, jacket and slacks = full check at security.

Going to court in a button down shirt, jacket, skirt, wearing a man's tie (really short) and a cameo with my hair in a bun = no security check and full run of the judges chambers if I wanted to for the hell of it. (Plus being called "ma'am" in a deferential manner by all the sheriffs).

It was kind of scary when I realized everyone thought I was just a new lawyer in town, and even then some people thought I was some Federal quality check gal so they kissed my ass.

Clothes make the man and attitude is everything.

I actually once went to jury duty, down here in casual Key West, wearing dress pants, white oxford shirt, and tie. And damned if everyone didn't think I was a lawyer! Several people asked me directions in a court house I didn't even know my way around in. It was quite hilarious! (And proves Zzap's point...)
