Inappropriate Temptation: You Know You're Not Supposed to

Inappropriate Temptation: You Know You're Not Supposed to
[font face=Verdana]
You know you've wanted to do it. Everyone does.


I know I did.

Especially when I was a .

It's such an easy<b> temptation. </font></b>Even if you're not supposed to.

I did it once too. Just to try it.

And nothing bad happened!

My dad found out and he was peeved about it. He had a way of being strict, almost anal, about stuff like that.

He didn't really get it.

But I did. I had it figured out even back then.

They never came and arrested me for it either. Because nobody really cared.

Yep, I did it. And it felt good.




I ripped off the"Do Not Remove Under Penalty Of Law" tag. Big deal!

I'd read the fine print. The law applied to the seller. Once you buy it it's yours.

They did change the tags, eventually. Now they specifically exempt the consumer from jeopardy. Probably too many people called their representatives in Congress and asked why they can't take the tags off. But back then it was quite the tease to risk life and limb over a product label.

Interesting how perception of what's inappropriate is influenced by labels and expectations and our unique perspective on things though, isn't it?

 LOL....Nice temptation...those pesky signs always concerned me as a youngster

Thanks. It's the temptation to rebel we all feel from time to time. The tags are just the object of our rebellion.

 Not sure how removing mattress tags would cause someone to become a kleptomaniac... it's awfully hard to stuff a mattress down one's shirt when the clerk isn't looking...

Glad you were able to face -- and overcome -- your demons!

I wasn't quite sure about that myself.
What is a temptation but a tease, of sorts? I thought it would be fun to tease within a story about temptation. It seems to have been liked.

 This was am amusing post. I loved your take on it.

Somehow I never felt this way and got told by my friends that I was definitely a daring person for doing exactly this.

I've been in a light hearted mood lately. I'm wanted to share that by poking a little fun at temptation. I'm glad it amused you.

 Damn! I felt like that as a kid too! But I ripped 'em off anyway. It's become a habit.

Thanks for commenting. I think many of us did. As soon as we saw it said don't do it we just wanted to do it.

Well, I never did become a klepto. I did grow up to be part of that rebellious, "Question Authority". 60's generation though. But with a sense of humor about it.
