Confessionals...

GreyPilgrim

One good thing I've noticed about this forum is that from time to time you get a 'tangent' subject - one that's completely unrelated to debt, finance etc, and no one jumps up and down and demands the thread be removed. I think it's good for a bit of comic relief, you know? Debt is a serious subject and can get us all down. I've just been reading Charlotte64's thread about leaving some dosh in an ATM and I made a mini confession about once finding a tenner in a cash machine and running to the bar with it thinking "WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!".

Anyone else care to step into the confessional? Father GreyPilgrim is ready to receive you and hear your sins....

I stole a teaspoon from work 10 years ago because it said 'property of ramsay street' on it.

How many Hail MArtins is that?

I found £5 on the floor when I was 6. I bought some Cindy clothes with it.

Found £10 when I was 15. Spent that in a pub.



However, the 5 handbags and 2 wallets I have ALWAYS handed back in/called the owner without taking a single penny or thread of fabric.

I guess I'll start...I was once seeing a girl back home in Sunderland who lived on the opposite side of the River Wear from me. I went to see her on a Sunday, and I missed the bus home. There was only a bus ever hour and it was freezing so I settled down for a long, miserable wait for the next one. Then a car stopped, and a couple of chinese chaps inside asked me if I knew the way to the seaside and I said "yeah, its just down.........."

You know that bit in a cartoon where the guy has an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other? In my case, the devil jumped up and knocked the angel out cold.

I took down the hand that was pointing towards the beach end of of Sunderland, and said "actually, I'm going that way.."...I lived in completely the opposite direction. But I completely took advantage of these two really nice blokes, and directed them pretty much all the way to my house 5 or 6 miles away, and then pointed them back vaguely in the direction of the beach.

I feel like such a sh*t telling you about it. they seemed like really nice blokes.

I have called a cab home for a bloke without telling him and before he was able to go to sleep

I am MUCH nicer now.

Oh I like this...when I was about...10? my baby brother would have been about ...3? We had a portable tv set with a telescopic aerial. While my mum was out of the room, I extended it and started in bending it backwards and forwards...then it snapped off in my hand.

My baby bro was sitting on the sideboard thing right next to the TV, so I just put the piece of broken aerial in his hand and walked out of the room.....mum came back and baby bro got the blame for it. hahahahahah
not really a confessional - I already fessed up to him a couple of years ago.

I broke my mothers favourite ornament, being silly.

I faked a day off school and had used the duvet I was "snuggled" with on the sofa as a large cloak - twirling round and round and the end knocked off the ornament.

I blamed the dog. Said she jumped up at me and knocked me over.

That dog loved me to bits. She would have done anything for me. And I have felt guilty ever since. My mother knew I did it, but punished the dog anyway.
