Bunch of Savages in this Town (part n to infinity -1)

[madbaker]

The back window of the car was fogged over this morning, so I ran the rear windshield wiper. It didn't work. The wiper fluid sprayed, but no wiper. When we got to the market I checked it.

Someone stole my rear wiper blade.
At least it looks like nothing was broken, but seriously, what the hell?

People who don't think of themselves as thieves because they don't re-sell often do take what they 'need' from others who have 'more.' The guy who seriously needs a front wiper, may think of a rear wiper as surplus, you know.

Kind of like the pencils people take home from work. It's stealing, but they guy who does it doesn't think so.

Yeah. The line between theft and whatever is really thin these days. I don't really understand the idea that it's okay to just grab something like that. I also don't take pencils home from work. <g> Heck, I even buy my own file folders, and such ...

Yeah, me too. I bought most of the supplies I used at and for school for 37 years of teaching, including several computers and a lot of food and supplies for the students as well. But I do know a lot of people who think taking things from work is quite acceptable. And you are right, the margin seems to be getting narrower.
