OMG this is hilarious! I mean i read this and laughed out loud, and everytime I think of it i laugh out loud! She stole the Barbie legs!!!!


it reminds me of a friend i had as an adult, a camping buddy of mine, and she had 4 sisters, and according to her they fought a lot. When she was little, she was mad at her sister, and so she cut off the hair from her sister's Barbie doll. Then she hid the doll. I said "You hid it so you wouldn't get in trouble, you were afraid she'd beat you up?"

And my friend said, "No, i hid it to wait for the hair to grow back, so then I wouldn't get in trouble."

Sure. And the response was' it's better to ask for forgiveness then permission'.

I seriously was gobsmacked by that remark.

Nope didn't forgive them or the act.

Housekeepers - worst offenders.

Yes, college roommate lifted a bunch of my clothes before moving out of town. She was a pathetic human being, glad to see her gone. We were thrown together, I did not pick her.

STill LOL about Barbie doll story, I didn't know legs came off. Did know heads did.

Same. Mine stole clothes and CD's. She moved out of town. About a year later she came back and I would see her around wearing the clothes that she stole. Awkward!

Yes, this was many years ago though.

When I was in middle school, my grandfather would give me a little money, $10 here, $20 there. Bits of that money started disappearing, as well as the video games. A kid from up the street came to play a lot, and it turns out he had taken literally hundreds of dollars worth of stuff over a few months.

We did get most of the games back, but the cash was just gone.

My husbands sister died while in college, she lived in a dorm. When her dad went to the dorm to collect her things a lot of stuff was missing. Jewelry, records, coats, just a lot. It was obvious her stuff had been gone through. He announced to the dorm he was going to lunch and depending on whether or not her stuff was returned while he was out he will decide whether or not to call the police. When he got back there was a huge pile of stuff on her bed. He was just so disgusted with the girls. He said we was planning on just taking a few boxes of stuff, jewelry and important stuff and leave what was left for anyone who needed or wanted stuff. He ended up packing up everything thing and dropped most of it off at a goodwill.

What vultures.

Not sure I would call this fellow a "friend". He was a shipmate. While in the Navy, during a home-port period in San Diego, several of us rented an apartment in town so that we didn't have to sleep on the ship and a place to hang out while not on duty. One of them stole some electronics from me, (and I can't remember what else from the others).

Of course, we reported it to the police. The thief took some of the stuff to a pawn shop, and of course, the police found out about it. Easy enough to trace it back to the shipmate.

Since this happened so long ago, (1972?), I can't remember what happened to the thief. I'm sure the Navy didn't look kindly on his behavior.

That was the beginning of the end of that friendship.
Years ago, I had a "friend" who let me store my bike at her apartment because I was in the middle of moving to a new location. When I called and arranged to pick it up, she would not answer her door and I knew she was at home because her car was out front.

I sat in the hallway outside her door most of the afternoon and when the door finally opened, she and her boyfriend came out pushing my bike between them. Needless to say, I took my bike back and never spoke to her again.

My BFF at the time was moving to Hawaii and she stole my hand made beaded necklace with a malachite 'crystal'. My ex had it special made and picked out all the beads and stones.
I thought I had lost the thing for months till one day she fessed up and told me not only did she steal it from me so that she could have a part of me with her, but she lost it while swimming in the ocean.

Same here.

I learned to never give money to anyone unless I can afford to never see it again.
