Like the subject says I was caught shoplifting this morning and I am now so ashamed, no excuse as I shouldnt have done it under any circumstances.

Worried now I could end up losing my job if my employers find out.

Wondered if anyone has words of advice or even knows someone who has been in this situation?

Is this a new 'plimsolls' story?

MawBroon Fri 19-Jan-18 22:12:53

Well it passed the time......

Eglantine21 Fri 19-Jan-18 22:18:37

Oh thank god. I thought I had to believe.......

MissAdventure Fri 19-Jan-18 22:20:03

I would think its genuine. Its nothing like the style of the footwear person.

How old are you chery ?

Bathsheba Fri 19-Jan-18 22:36:14

But it IS footwear....

Bathsheba Fri 19-Jan-18 22:37:34

That was in response to MissA's post.

Hmm, has this person posted before, either on another thread of their own, or contributed to other threads?

OldMeg Fri 19-Jan-18 22:43:35

The clue is in the title....she’d have us believe she’s upset because she got caught hmm

Jalima1108 Fri 19-Jan-18 23:11:59

Yes I admitted in a previous post this is the second time I have and only time I was caught

I thought I had read something similar before - cheryl you must have had some good advice last time so WHY?
I did think you'd got caught last time as well.

Jalima1108 Fri 19-Jan-18 23:13:16

Did you post under a different username last time?

‘If you suspect someone of being a troll, please don't accuse them publicly on the discussion thread (if you're wrong, you could cause untold hurt; if you're right, you'll merely be giving them just the kind of attention they're after).
Instead, please report your suspicions to us (either by reporting a post of theirs or by mailing us at [email protected]) and we'll check them out.
Please bear in mind that we'd rather err on the side of being taken in than of accusing a genuine poster who's in need of support of being a troll’

From the guidelines. Just saying

MawBroon Fri 19-Jan-18 23:21:16

Thank you for stating the obvious maryeliza grin

maryeliza54 Fri 19-Jan-18 23:22:11

If it’s so obvious, why are so many of you continuing to do it then?

MawBroon Fri 19-Jan-18 23:23:19

Does anybody remember the poster who said the police had been round to her house and accused her of shoplifting?
Was that what you meant jalima and phoenix?

Jalima1108 Fri 19-Jan-18 23:27:55

Yes, well done, I think that's the one Maw but it didn't come up on a search.

Perhaps it was another poster?

Jalima1108 Fri 19-Jan-18 23:30:33

another poster I think?

OP Are you menopausal?

MawBroon Fri 19-Jan-18 23:39:36

Is there no end to the ingenuity? hmm

gillybob Fri 19-Jan-18 23:39:42

OMG I’m an idiot !

Nelliemoser Fri 19-Jan-18 23:58:02

Phoenix I agree with your suspicions here.

The way this thread is going is showing a pattern I have seen many times before on here and I am now getting suspicious about the issues raised.

MawBroon Sat 20-Jan-18 08:17:34

Expect this to disappear soon hmm

Eglantine21 Sat 20-Jan-18 08:33:07

Oh well, there wasn't anything much on television last night any way......
