Writer on a quest to explore every corner of the world, one country at a time. Fueled by my love for Arcane, oversized hoodies, and weightlifting, I try my best to bring even more fun energy to Bored Panda. My cup of tea? Pop culture, funny content, sharing interesting facts about the world, and creating listicles for fellow Pandas. When I’m not crafting articles, my eyes are still glued to a screen — be it binge-watching my favorite shows, leveling up in video games, or learning Spanish with Duolingo. Always on the hunt for the ultimate playlist, I scour Deezer to find the right tunes to listen to while working on my creative projects.

Been there, done that. But...where did that option on BP go to add entries to the list? It is fine to have them pre-populated with social media stuff but it used to be much more fun when it was possible to add stuff. Like your shopping experience.

I tend to be a scatterbrain... sometimes when I'm shopping, i worry that i'll see something interesting and accidentally put what I'm already holding i n my pocket to check out the new something. Terrified i'll get busted for accidentally shoplifting. 😱

Me, one time my daughter had to go to the bathroom at the park so we ran to a starbucks right across that park's street and we both just walked in there quickly ran to the restrume area and I felt 100% guilty about that. But, a parent has to do what a parent has to do.

I always say goodbye if there's an employee near the front. I guess I figure if I don't look sneaky, I won't get stopped for stealing something (which I never do).

Always. Every single time walking out of store without buying anything. I also feel I must keep my hand where they are clearly visible to store people that way they know I am not shoplifting.

I sometimes get really scared that the store alarm will go off as I leave a store. Knowing I haven´t stolen anything I still fear that alarm.

Only if it's a food store. I dunno, people don't go eye-shopping for food.... Neither do I. But sometimes the shop just doesn't have what you need.
