I'm same way. Can't help myself - just honest to the bone. Christmas Eve shopped for last minute things, got a little package of those small 8 oz. clear plastic glasses for anytime anybody wanted a quick drink of water, etc. and checked out, paid my bill, got to the truck, loaded in my things and there sat that tiny clear package in the corner of the basket. I felt like a total criminal! I got in the truck and headed for the door of the grocery store, going to park right by it and run the package back in but a guy came out to collect carts and he took it through the window with my redfaced story of what happened. He just laughed & thanked me. I went home with a light heart feeling good and so glad nobody "caught" me leaving and thought I was trying to steal their plastic glasses! I just can't short or take anything from anyone. It would eat me alive. I can't speed, cheat on my taxes, cheat insurance companies at work or do any real wrong knowingly and sleep nights so I don't. And I can't change it.
