When shopping, have you by accident, dropped an item off the shelf, and then picked it up to put it back where it belong. Or did you just walk off and left it laying on the floor. C'mon be honest...

Yes. I always pick it up. I wouldn't consider anything else unless it was broken and I needed to report it.

Hi there Cream! I usually pick it up and return it to its place when it's really my fault. But I must admit that I am bad sometimes. When it's not properly in its place and I felt like it wasn't my fault at all, I just leave it there.

I knock stuff off of the shelves all the time at the store on accident. I either pick it up and put it back on the shelf or my son offers to do it for me.

I always buy it if I'd intended to do so in the first place. I don't like buying dented cans but If I damage it myself I assume others wouldn't want it. Same with packages of meat, if the plastic hasn't broken I'll buy it.

well sometimes i would leave it there, especially when i'm feeling disagreeable, but when i'm in a good mood i would pick it up. sometimes, i would pick up stuff that other people drop and sometimes i would ignore it... depends really on my disposition at that particular moment...

yes, I have knocked things off to the floor and I picked them up, no matter how long it took me. I have made some doozie of messes too. I have gotten so embarrased. I have a shoulder purse and it hardly ever fails that it doesn't knock something off of a shelf. Mostly I put it in the buggy unless I don't get one, lol.

yes I pick it up alot of times I find myself picking up other things that are on the floor b/c it always seems to get caught under my buggy. Sometimes it may not be in the right spot but at least its not on the floor.

I will always pick it up off the floor, I amy not put it back exactly where it goes but I won't just leave it lie there on the floor.

Most of the time, when I drop something in a store or knock something off a shelf, I will put it back, even if it isn't as neatly as it was before. Sometimes I knock clothes off their hangers as I am strolling through a store and I do stop and try to put them back right. If I can't, I at least set the item on the rack and hope a salesperson will come along and fix it. The one time that I sometimes don't pick things up is when the store or the area of the store I am in all cluttered and a mess already. I was digging through a clearance bin at KMart the other day and it was just a big mess. A wallet or something dropped out of the bin and I didn't pick it up. I felt guilty later, I have to admit, but the place was such a mess and the bin was just overflowing with junk that I walked away. But yeah, in general, I will pick up whatever I knock down and replace it. I sometimes don't want to (especially when trying on shoes. Ugh) but I do.

I pick it up, unless the sign out front says "Clutter Mart" I think you should pick it up. Now if its a glass jar and it breaks I'll go get someone to clean it up.

I would have to say I am going to be honest. 99% of the time I do put it back, the other 1% is because I am having a panic attack of some sort and have to run to my car.
