Post: I used to work at a stadium as a beer hawker, I would steal the 24 beers and sell for profit
Top Comment: Eh, i'd rather the $11 spent on a bud light go to a broke 23 year old than a multi-billionaire team owner.
Post: I disabled appliances in my house because my landlord refused to pay for oil she used.
Top Comment: I'm impressed you had friends that came and helped you clean up a whole house and organize things. My friends would never do that. They may help me move a package or a couch, but never clean a whole house
Post: Took a shit outside of girls house I was banging, and her landlord stepped in it.

Top Comment: You've got good family. Just remember that whenever they need help or a favor.

Post: I still sleep with a teddy bear
Top Comment: That's sweet. Nothing at all to be ashamed of. Nobody should ever criticize anyone else's coping mechanisms as long as they don't harm anyone. Tex definitely doesn't harm anyone.
Post: I failed to stop a stranger from being raped...
Top Comment: Think about this. You reacted, or failed to. You did not act. If you had taken a more measured approach, you might have quietly observed, noted important info, and decided whether or not you could or should intervene. You might have gotten the plate or a photo, but saved the girl? Possible but unlikely. You might have gotten dead.
A lot of guys think that they can just roll up and save the day. But a lot of guys also do not have the violent tendencies that a rapist does. We think we do but we really don't. That rapist has chosen to raise the stakes higher that a normal civilised guy has. So you think you would be able to intervene but he has a plan to defend himself and you just have a bat and no situational awareness.
I am a smallish guy who hasn't been in a fist fight since high school (the 80s...) and I was able to intervene against a way bigger guy swinging a bat in December because he had no plan and I was calm and focused (I had an advantage of time to prepare mentally and he was just dumb). As soon as I saw him swing at another person, I knew he wasn't committed to the violent act and I could rush him. He recoiled when I didn't show fear and ran. That guy is not the kind of guy you might be up against committing rape. Rape on the street is not Bill Cosby rape. It's violent. It's psychotic. Dude is probably carrying a knife or gun and has rehearsed his response to a defender a thousand times in his deranged mind. He probably has drawn blood before. Stakes are way higher for him than rando dumbass picking a fight over pride. You might get lucky but you might get dead too.
The takeaway here is be the smart hero. Act, don't react. And be glad you aren't like that guy. It's what makes you better.
Edit: I wanted to add another anectdote. Only 3wks after the bat guy encounter, I had another similar one in which two joyriders rolled up on me and my gf on the street. We live in a relatively affluent neighborhood so we were not very attentive. The whole thing went down differently. I was not calm or in control. I knew if this went down, my girl was gonna get hurt. My concern/fear was evident im that split second I was face to face with one of the two men. He knew it and he delighted in it. We ended up running which was the right choice but I was pissed. That encounter juxtaposed to the first is what made me really think about acting vs reacting and situational awareness. I consulted some experts (friend who is a cop, another who is a self defense guru, and a psychologist) and my gf and I discussed how we could have avoided that encounter, deescalated it, and managed a physical confrontation if it came to blows. We have a plan and are more savvy now. That's where I am coming from in this comment.

Top Comment: How did you find out!? You cant not tell us now!
Post: My boss never approves my work if she thinks its a first draft...so now i lie
Top Comment: I've seen that too. Managers need to trust their people and force themselves to not correct or try to improve everything. It's hard, but it's healthier in the end.
Post: I used to run a " fake report card" cartel back in high school
Top Comment: I would let people copy my work in computer class for money. I'd copy the projects onto a thumbdrive and pass it around to my customers.
Post: I blackmailed a 26 year old man when I was 16
Top Comment: For a moment I thought you wanted to ask your 4chan friends to send you buttcarrot pics that you can forward. I mean it's 4chan. They'd most likely do it.
Post: I stole money from my dad when I was a teenager
Top Comment: Maybe donate the amount stolen to a charity that deals with his illness.
Post: I let someone else take the blame for absolutely destroying the plumbing.
Top Comment: > I pondered why they didn't keep a plunger in their restroom. Do rich people only take really dainty poops?
I've wondered this too. I think it's a "minor" bathroom, not intended for "heavy-duty" bathroom usage, and they figure that anyone using it would... mind their poop manners, I guess, and not drop a clogging load? Or maybe they have faith in the suction of their plumbing?
Why the frick do people not have plungers near any working flushing toilets is beyond me. I don't think it occurs to them that a clog could happen, and that *that* fact is, I guess, more or less absolute and immutable.
> from what I heard they forced the kid's parents to reimburse them for the plumbing bill
Can... can they even do that? I'm sure the kids' parents just relented to get the HoityToity "we don't need no stinkin' plunger" Parents off their backs, but were it me, I'd say fuck no. Your plumbing, your problem; you agreed to host, you had to have been aware of what teenage football stars could intake and output. Now, if rules were in place that said "don't use that bathroom" and my child does just that, then yeah, I'd consider paying for damages. But the rule was not place, therefore, get thee fucked.

Post: I stole from Lowes a few times and now I really regret doing so
Top Comment: I once accidentally stole a $3500 shed from Home Depot.
I was working with a contractor to grade my yard, build a patio, etc. Part of the project was putting up a shed. I met him at Home Depot to pick it out and load it into his truck. He had bought lots of stuff from Home Depot using his pro account and I had been reimbursing him each week when he gave me receipts.
At the end of the week I asked him “how much was the shed? Send over the receipt and I’ll reimburse you.” He said “I don’t know - I thought you paid for it.”
So either he or I stole the shed. Not clear which.
I offered to go back to Home Depot and pay but he advised me that it’s never a good idea to go and admit to a crime, even an accidental one. Since he knew the GM of the store he went back, took care of the payment, got a receipt and a handwritten note from the GM stating the date and time the shed left the store, and that it was store error that the customer was not charged at that time. He stapled his business card to the note and the receipt and signed all 3.
That was about 20 years ago and I still have that note just in case police come knocking about a stolen shed.
Post: I used to steal from my store when I was a manager at McDonalds
Top Comment: My sister in law worked at McDonald's. There was a huge bag of mini m&ms in her fridge. I would eat them and wonder where she got such a big bag.
Started working at McDonald's at 16. That's where she got it from, lol.
Post: When I was in high school I stole a prize winning 4H potato from the State Fair.
Top Comment: As a former 4H kid, I am sad. Those silly projects often go to auction towards the end of the fair and many of those kids use those smaller projects to fund college or future businesses for themselves. It's honestly way more than just a potato, but an entire project with a lot of detail. I grew and sold perennials on the side to afford supplies for my main project that involved avian genetics, and I'm willing to bet that potato was funding for a larger, more complex project as well.
4H and FFA kids get bullied so much for their interests. I'm not trying to guilt you, just shed some light on it. On the plus side, the community that supports those kids won't let them fail after a mishap like this. I would like to recommend attending one of the auctions at the next fair when Covid lets up, they're a lot of fun. Plus, you could totally drive up the bid price for some kid's funding project. ;)
Post: I told my parents I had to go back to university for 2 months for practicals even though they were cancelled to get away from home.
Top Comment: i hear ya! i’d do the same. enjoy the time away from them.
Post: I'm transgender.... but I despise the general fakeness and selfishness of almost every transgender person I've ever met
Top Comment: I'm a woman who has been repeatedly told by several transwomen that I don't know what it's like to be a woman because I didn't 'earn' it. I always say the same thing. If you wanna be a woman, go for it. But don't be a bitch.
Post: I stole from work
Top Comment: I'm sorry you are going through this. Have you thought about contacting food pantries in your area? There might be some, and there is no shame in using their services.
Also, you might qualify for food stamps. Again, no shame in applying.
Where are you located?
My hope is that things get better for you soon.
Post: I stole the answer book when I was in 6th grade and never got caught.
Top Comment: Not trying to be snarky or anything, but how did you still fail the class if you had the answer book? Genuinely curious. Did you have a lot of in-class assignments or something?
Post: Lied to my parents(divorced) about why I didn't want to walk at my college graduation. They died 6 months later.
