Having never stolen anything in my life, I had a moral dilemma today. I went into H&M to buy some hairbands. It was a Saturday and everso busy, way too busy to queue up to pay £1.50 for them.. I looked at them in my hand, I looked up at the door, I thought about putting them in my pocket, I looked around for a beefy securityguard. I nearly did it, it wasn't the thrill of thieving, I just couldn't be bothered to queue up.. is that so wrong?! Obviously it was because something stopped me from doing it and I went upstairs, where there was no queue and paid, put them in my pocket and left. What made me do it? Free hairbands were literally inches away but I turned and paid for them legitamately. Hmm, incapable of breaking the rules, not always a good thing, I'm £1.50 worse off for it!

Precisely!

I totally agree. I am happy to pay for stuff but there are times when I am queuing that I think "who's doing who a favour here? i am gonna be paying you more than it cost to make this thing! if you don't take the money off me right now i will be forced to steal and it will be your fault, not mine" or something.
Plus sometimes when queuing you have to put up with the rabble. Not good.
