The truth will set you free: Confession time.

Feel free to spill your gutts.. The truth will set you free you know.. Or land you in the slammer.. Grumpy.. I'm tempted to ban you from this thread because god knows what you've done.. But i'm looking forward to hearing it too much.

My sin: Stealing

Today I went to pay off a credit card bill for a department store credit card.

The balance on my card was: $306.00
I had in my pocket in a wad of 20 dollar bills the sum of $320.00
I am absolutely positive this is what I have to pay the bill with.

I get to the mall and go into the store to pay the bill.
The young lady checks my balance and gives me the total $306.00.
I hand her my wad of 20s and say: I believe thats $320.00
She takes it counts it and says something inaudible and hands me back $60.00 right away.

I'm thinking what????

She opens up the register and then procedes to give me another $14.00 dollars in change. I'm trying to make sense of this and I know there's no way in heck I have given her more than $320.00.

Mind is racing.. Think man think.. I hear myself say "Oh jeez did I overshoot it that much?" followed by a little laugh.. Oh my god man what's wrong with you. Not only are you stealing but you're gonna get this poor girl fired when she counts her drawer and comes up way short. "Thanks a lot, I appreciate the time." Turning to leave the store. Noooo man.. Stooooop don't do iiiit. Think about how much heartache and headache you're gonna cause her, and the blotch on her resume'.

Finally I come to my senses and realize.. Yea you're right.. Do the right thing and ask her to recount and save her from humiliation. But by the time I came to this decision I was already hauling ass home doing 60 in a 40 and wondering what I was going to spend my free $60.00 on.

Forgive me lord.
