I was a thief

I am sure that you can be forgiven! But what happens to that money now? It is gone and there may be gold backing it, but no dollars to go with the gold! I know, it is from being bothered too many times that we do such things! I tell you what, I will admit that I was the one who knocked down the shower curtain! It was me, not my brother! Woohoo! it was an accident and I could not put it back up. So sorry!

That was a mean thing you did to your roommate. No matter how mean she was to you, knowingly taking money that you know belongs to her and not returning it, is stealing. You could have caused her grief and anxiety. You can try and justify it any way for your action, it still doesn't change the fact that you have committed a crime even if you didn't spend the money on yourself. Having said this, I still respect you for owning up to your past action here. You didn't have to and no one would know, but you voluntarily did. That shows that you are repentant, courageous and willing to take responsibility. That's what counts more, and I know many of us (myself included) will forgive you and hope you will not resort to doing this to another person again.

Listen we ALL make mistakes! I have done SO many stupid things in my life that I cannot take back either. If it makes you feel better you may want to confess if its upsetting you this much. Its a chance to take but it will help clear your conscious if you really feel you must. But yeah I am full of regrets with things I have done in my life, yes others have hurt me but there have been many moments when I wasn't an angel either. I also wish I had kept all of that weight I had lost from a few years ago, I can go on and on and on with what I wish I didn't do. But I can't take it back.. just learn from the mistake. But again, I believe you can be forgiven, you are human.. and remember its not like you took a life!

i think it is something you really did bad to her. but whether you can be forgiven or not, depend on the consequence of it. sometimes people just want to take revenge in any way and it seems you did the same.

Well,that is not good experence anyway in your schoole life,but think in another way,you may think it is just a interestting things happened during your younth time in colleague,we always do something specail when we in specail situation.good luck!

You can be forgived,and you should forgive yourself.It also needs encourage for you to give mouth to this thing here,I think you really feel regretful for this thing.you can not go back,so please keep forward!

hey hey hey....just hold on.....did you just say i feel guilty...??? well feel glad that you started a whole discussion out of it.....you must be praised for confessing in front of us all......and life is meant about doing mistakes and learning...you dont feel comfortable thinking about it...so it shows you aint any thief....you were crazy may be, but its forgivable.....she might have deserved it...lol!!

I do not understand why you would flush the money? I can see you spending it, or giving it to someone else, but flushing it down the toilet just seems a little silly, don't you think? I don't know, I just don't see myself willing to flush even a knickel down the toilet!

AT the age of 42 I've done a LOT of regrettable things in my life. For me the one thing I feel worst about was the fact that I had an affair when I was married. It makes no difference that our relationship was already in trouble, or that there was no intimacy between us (and hadn't been for years) when it happened... The fact is that I betrayed him,no matter what I felt my justification was at the time. I don't know whether I will ever entirely forgive myself for doing that... All I know is that I will NEVER do it again. Like me, what you did was wrong, VERY WRONG! But the fact that you regret it and are willing to take responsibility for your actions is a good thing. Yes, you can be forgiven, and so can I. But we need to try to forgive ourselves too. I should note that forgiving ourselves doesn't mean that we stop regretting what we did, just that we understand why we did it and move on while making sure that we don't make the same mistake again.

As young adults, we tend to do things we later regret, and I am sure all of us have gone to lots of paths similar like yours. Can you be forgiven? I say why not? For sure your roommate has forgotten all about it, so don't feel bad anymore.

i have to admit that wasn't very nice but i wouldv'e probably done the same thing so im with you it was a good thing she never found out though cause you couldv'e been in major trouble i wouldve used the money though but you have a good heart though because you would have changed that if you could've which shows alot

It was only 28 dollars. I think that you will live and be forgiven. That was barely enough for hal a tank of gas. I really dont know why you would have flushed it but i guess that it is fine. You dont have to beat yourself because of it.

Hey man, It doesn't matter, it's only 100 pounds, she can earn it back in a day, take her out for a day or something to make up for it. It's equilibrium you see.

Why would you flush it you already stuck your hand in the purse and took it you should have kept it or if you feel realy bad locate her and give it back to her

In my book, you're forgiven. By flushing her money down the toilet, you were just balancing up what she had done to you. In fact, I think I would have left a note in her purse to tell her what I'd done. Something like, "In lieu of all the fun you've had from being mean to me, I have taken payment, and sent it to the sewage farm." Oh, to have been a fly on the wall if she found that in her purse. Ok, you feel guilty and perhaps it was a mean thing to do, but she sounds as though she well deserved it, my friend. Brightest Blessings.

What you did is wrong, however if that's the worst thing you have ever done, than really you should feel pretty good about yourself. So many people, do worse things on a daily basis. A mere $200 is nothing to condemn yourself over. After all, you are human and everyone makes mistakes. Your roommate has probably forgotton all about it. But if you do want to make restitutions, you can try looking her up and paying her back the money. Forgive yourself, forget about it and move on. We've all done things we are not proud of, and honestly that is nothing compared to things that I, and most everyone else has done.

I think it is never be too late that you realize your mistake. As long as you feel sorry about it, that means to say you won't make the same mistake again. Let it be and we shall look forward to the future. Who didn't make a mistake when they were young?

Hello, I think we've all done some things that we've been remorseful for. We are no one to judge you and the mistakes you might have made in the past. The important thing is that you've realized it was wrong and learned from your errors. I think the best way to seek forgiveness is to do a something good for someone else. By doing good deeds no matter how small they are, you will "pay your debt". We cannot change the past, only learn from it and try to change in the future. Good luck to you!

Obviously this wa snot a nice thing to do, but she was obviously doing something that upset you as well. Although it is not right to pay back a bad act by another bad act I can see why you did it. The fact that you are feeling guilty about it shows that you feel remorse and that is a good thing. I assume that you are no longer in touch with her. Perhaps you culd try to track her down and then repay her the money. That would help you to forgive yourself. If you cannot find her then at least you will know that you have tried your hardest to track her down and sort out the mess. I would forgive you, I am sure she will too. She may have even forgotten about the whole thing.

You are forgiven man, no probs, sometimes it happens........
