What do you steal from work?

  1. #1
    I'm normally not an advocate of stealing. I don't like to steal from stores or other people, but for some reason this doesn't apply as much to wherever I'm working at.




    I still "steal" gas from my dad because he writes it off as a farm expenditure on his taxes anyway. I don't really have a good justification for this one. I should stop doing this.

    When I worked at a grocery store in high school and college I would only "steal" outdated milk and egg nog, as well as ice cream, Dippin Dotz, and other frozen food that looked tasty to me (I worked in the dairy cooler/freezer by myself most days). Sometimes they would leave cold liquor for customer sampling in the cooler. I play chug, chug, stop before I smell and feel drunk.

    At the ice cream factory I didn't have to steal anything because all the ice cream was free, although we dumped thousands of Bomb Pops on the floor every day and sometimes if we were hungry we'd pick up one that had only touched other Bomb Pops and not the floor. Floor food good food.

    Here at the old folks' home, I used to steal alcohol swabs and sometimes TB test rigs if I was desperate. Nowadays I just steal cookies, packaged food, and supplement shakes if I forgot to bring a lunch that day. Sometimes I get biofreeze or a bottle of ibuprofen when we clean medcarts.

    I don't actually take as much as I thought, but I'm sure someone here does. Tell me what you help yourself to.

    I would probably take a high-dollar item if I thought I could get away with it. Was anyone suspicious of you?

    Oh yeah, I have a mountain by where I keep my work gear. We stopped ordering nitrile gloves a while ago but sometimes they send us some sample boxes, so I make sure to HAORD those!

    Damn, that's pretty sweet.

    The thing I "steal" most often is paper, I prefer to read hard copies of academic articles and I've been reading a lot of those lately but it still probably only amounts to a couple of reams.

    At my last gig I made off with a laptop and a monitor, although I did offer them back after I quit no one ever responded.

    I used to have a friend call in a pizza order and have no one pick it up so I could have it at the end of shift when I delivered pizzas. When I was sixteen I stole a bunch of orajel because it made my mouth numb like cocaine, idk why I did that.

    No, stealing from the Reich is a virtue, not a sin.

    I can see why. not justifying it, but I can see why

    for a 18 roll it's 16 bucks.. with tax that's pretty much 1 dollar per roll.

    even the generic is expensive and you have to double up on the ply to get a decent wipe.

    we need a cheap alternative.
