This is a throwaway account for what I assume will be obvious reasons. This will be an epic post. It's taken me almost 13 years to tell this story to anyone.

So today I went to get a haircut. When you get there you have to write your name down so they can call you.

This was over a decade ago when I was a freshman in college studying computer science. It was second semester and there was a large project that people broke off into pairs or groups to work on.
I paired up with another guy, and we both slacked off quite a bit. It was maybe a week before the due date of the project wh... | I bet some people from that class are still bitter to this day.

So like the title said, i stole 185$ from a client that just came to buy some beers and at first i didn’t knew if i should keep it or give it to my boss but i figured that if the client never came back my boss would just keep it so i chose the better option and stole the cash. | I found an envelope with over $200 on it at work once.

I work in food service for minimum wage at a company that is worth over $10Billion across all franchisees. I am trusted to shut the shop 2-3 nights a week, and sometimes I take 3 of the cookies that haven’t sold that day.
I eat one on the walk home and save one for my aunt. This has been really weighing on me. | You can relieve yourself of guilt. I absolve you. You're entitled to cookies. Plus you share them. |
I feel kinda crap about this. But I just want to look hot.
It's not that I don't give a crap about how I see myself, but the idea of hook-up with beautiful women is the one that really matters to me. I dated beautiful women in the past even if I was overweight, but I know that most people go by looks. Heck, I'm only t... | This is literally most people |
[No Regrets] When I was in college, I had a minimum wage tech support job with a bunch of my fellow students.

So yes I admit it I am doing it on purpose and to make sure no one will exactly be able to recreate it. And double yes I am pleased when people later tell me it was similar like mine but it had some "magic" missing - and instead of making it themselves ask me to bring it along next time.

When I was in 6th and 7th grades I had a paper route of approximately 4 blocks of residential single homes and duplexes.
I was paid to put flyers into newspapers and then deliver them two or three times per week.

You know how hard it was taking a dump all those years without anything to read? |
In fourth grade, there was a rule where you couldn't stand on the metal bars in the stalls. I decided to do the opposite and I had stood on the bars.

In the second grade I tried to get a kid on the bus to get out of the seat I wanted. After I told him to move, he said “make me”.

Around 10 years ago when we were in college I stole a few hundred dollars from my best friend (was just knowing each other then). Now the feeling that he knew about it then but didn't say anything is always in the back of my head. I think about it sometimes when we talk.
I deserve it 100%. Don't steal, kids. | Bro you making this harder on yourself than it has to be, like everyone says just be upfront and tell him and then not only pay him back but with interest. If you stole $200 give him $500 back.

I've never confessed here before so if this sort of submission is frowned upon, please expunge this post with impunity.

I was a terrible kid in high school. I was sort of a stereotypical jock bully kind of guy. I specifically bullied this one kid Jack, who I just... irrationally hated.
