Just got Busted

That Ferrari looked good, so I took it.

It's not about what you stole. It's about the fact that you took something that didn't belong to you and then you lied about it. I tell my child not to do this. It's disappointing when you have to tell adults with fully formed frontal lobes this.

If someone took my soda I'd teach them a lesson.

 

And if you're dishonest, Mr. Rogers is gonna have to choke a bitch.

 

You should be ashamed of yourself Leroy.

 

Maybe not, but a true "good guy" owns what they do, wrong or otherwise.

The proper thing to have done was to admit that you took the soda, apologize, and replace it. However, you didn't do that, you chose to lie about what you had done and then confess your sins here in hopes of some sort of absolution.

Absolution requires repentance.

The proper thing to do would be to go to the co-worker who's beverage you stole, apologize, and tell them you felt caught off guard and defensive when you were challenged about it, so you lied about what you had done. Bring a six pack of the soda with you. Give it to your victim, and promise that it won't ever happen again.

Then make damn sure it doesn't.

"Your honor, the Mercedes looked good, so I took it. Don't see the issue."

"Perhaps after you've served your 7 to 10 year sentence, you will see the problem..."

Dude, do you just not get that stealing is wrong? Or do you just not get that what you did was stealing?

 

Look I made a mistake!

 

Then own it, and correct it. Tell us how you make out.

 

Should I talk to the co worker?

 

This is my recommendation to you. Go buy a six pack of the stuff. Take it to your co-worker. Say something like: "I need to apologize to you. I took your soda the other day. When they confronted me about it, I got caught of guard and felt defensive. Unthinkingly, I lied about what I had done. I sincerely apologize and would like to make it up to you, please accept this as recompense. I assure you it won't happen again."

 

I'm directing Mary to this thread as we speak.

 

I'm thinking a six pack of PPR might be more her style.

 

Exactly how does one hunt avids?

 

I hunt hot women.

 

I'm handsome. See my picture.

 

Your good looks are exceeded only by your modesty.

 

What? Just pointing it out!

 

I have a mustache!

 

Lots of practice
