Jean Valjeans of Reddit Share What Is Deemed "Okay" To Steal

Many people are in agreement that stealing is bad. But most of those people are narcs. You know, parents, teachers, business owners. When I was younger I was into shoplifting. I would lift makeup from corporate drugstores and give the goods to girls in my homeroom in the hopes of making friends. The friendship thing didn't really pan out, and eventually I got caught trying to pocket some Maybelline mascara. All I was left with was CVS-related PTSD and anxious flashbacks whenever "Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow comes on the radio. As bad as I felt about getting caught, the truth is that stealing from a big chain like that drug store isn't really hurting anyone - especially if the contraband will serve a greater purpose, like putting food on the table or keeping a baby comfortable. Recently on Reddit, u/IFeelSorryForYourMothers asked the r/AskReddit community what they feel is actually okay to steal. While many of the answers were really just clever jokes, some of them were pretty damn on point. All we have to say is "Don't get caught."
