I like to think of myself as a pretty honest woman. For instance, one time I found a purse once at a mall at the age of 15 and turned it over to security at the mall. Or once I walked out of a store without paying for gum cause I took a piece out in line and out of habit put it in my pocket. When I realized my error I turned right back around and paid for it. Or like when a cashier gives you too much money back and you tell them....I DO THAT! I don't do this because I have to as I know allot of people don't, I do this because I believe in karma. And now, even more so!
Scene:
A month or two ago, we were at Superstore and bought a package of toilet paper. Instead of putting it inside the cart where it would take up allot of room, we put it on the bottom. Having finished our shopping and unloading the stuff into the car I realize that we might have walked out without paying for the toilet paper. Too lazy to look for the bill and Superstore already being too busy for my liking, I thought, screw it. Just this ONE TIME, SCREW IT! So I did nothing, absolutely nothing.
Cut to:
Yesterday we went to Costco to get some stuff in bulk such as gum, power bars, and pop. So we grab this flat with 48 Coke Zero which even at Costco still probably costs a fair amount. And, the same rule with the toilet paper at Superstore applied here. We put the pop under the cart so it wouldn't hog up all of the room inside the cart. I should just mention that I have always hated having to put things underneath as I tend to forget about them. This means either forgetting to pay for them, or forgetting to take them out when loading up the car. I think you can see where this is all going....
Flash forward to:
This morning I can hear Keith rummaging around in the kitchen so finally I ask him what all the noise is about. He said he was unloading the pop into the fridge. I made kind of a funny face cause I was thinking 'DAMN, that's allot of pop to put in our little fridge' but said nothing. About 15 minutes later I went to get some water from the fridge while chatting with my friend on the phone and I notice that the pop in the fridge was the pop we already had in the fridge prior to Costco. It was just no longer in the box anymore. Then it dawned on me that we 'may' have left the Coke Zero in the cart at Costco. So I ask my dear, lovable, hugable kissable husband (whom unloaded the cart) if he grabbed the pop out of the cart yesterday. I thought (and hoped) that perhaps, he did grab it out of the cart but decided to leave it in the truck since we already had enough bags to carry up. To my non-existent SHOCK, he said 'Noooooo'.
Me being me, I thought I would call Costco and see if by chance, someone turned it in. To my not so much surprise, nothing had been turned in. Now I know we never paid for that toilet paper because guess what?! Karma really is a big, bad, bi*ch! She got us.....she got us gooooood! lol.
