From edvamp@newshost.li.net Sun May 9 12:21:48 1999 Date: 25 May 1995 23:53:45 GMT From: Edward Johnson Newsgroups: alt.gothic Subject: I Disgust Myself OK, when I was in college, my friends and I lauded ourselves on our scavenging and thieving abilities. We rummaged through office dumpsters for furniture, removed cast off equipment from the Communications department that looked like they were used in the 50's, and got the free day olds from Dunkin Donuts. So what did I do today? Shopping at Price Club for the party Sat night(where I spent $10 more than I was planning), I spot a case of Snapple Iced Tea in the parking lot with no one around and my car nearby. I could have slipped it into the car without anyone being the wiser. So what do I do? I go get an employee and tell him about it! WHY? Actually, it took about 3 minutes to do that since I sat there agonizing about it. After the guy took it away I cursed myself in the middle of the parking lot. I hate Snapple, but fuck it was FREE and someone would have drunk it. I told the guy that had it been Coke it would have been MINE! What happened to me? Am I getting nice in my old age? Have I learned nothing from college? I mean, I have "liberated" merchandise from overpriced stores in the past, why couldn't I take a stupid case of Snapple? (24 bottles!!!) Oh well. I did the right and honest thing. And I'm going to have to live with that for the rest of my life. Ever and Always Edvamp
