....if that happened to me wit the plane ticket....I wouldn't say a damn thing. They rake you over the coals with all the extra fees....they deserve it. It's not as if someone's job is on the line.

Yes, really.
If I was driving on the side of the road and a farmer was offering six stalks of corn for a dollar and I got back to my car and counted seven.....I would walk one back to him.
That's taking from someone else. I can't do that. That could directly affect him and his family.
But huge corporations?
Nope. Fuckem feedem beans. (Like my libra grandmother used to say)
More than half of the cost of an airline ticket goes to nonsensical bullshit made up fees that ends up some corporate figure heads inflated bonus......They can eat me.....the greedy bastards.

lol....one time my mother (gemini/pisces moon) went to buy a new vacuum cleaner.....the clerk put the vacuum cleaner and moved it to the other side of the register....where you put things that are paid for, but she forgot to scan it.
my brother (taurus with a cancer moon) was with her.....he was only half paying attention.
my mom paid for the rest of her items and they collected everything, including the vacuum cleaner and headed towards the exit.
my brother stopped halfway to the exit and said..."Mom, I don't think she scanned the vacuum cleaner."
my mom said...."Shut up and keep walking."
LOL
to this day....when he gets mad, he calls her a thief. She gets so pissed. 😛

You hate to lie
People who are good liars frighten you. You don’t admire them and you would even go as far as to say they’re dangerous. Their lack of morals shocks and worries you. You are the opposite. Your watch words are transparency and truth. You try to prove as often as possible that you are completely trustworthy. You reserve the right to say whatever you need to say, whether or not it pleases others. It’s courageous of you to be as honest as you are, but your quest for authenticity can sometimes come across as intransigence. You tend to be stubborn and demand that others share your values. Diplomacy is a good quality to have, and it demands a certain attitude to the truth – one that you have difficulty with. You fear lies because you don’t like the idea of someone lying to you. Are you afraid of being led down the garden path? Perhaps it brings back experiences from your past that you would rather forget. Lying is certainly not a positive thing, but perhaps lies could add nuance to your arguments or dress up reality when you want to be humane and not cause too much pain.
Posted by ElleDuMondelol oh jeez. well, what would YOU do in that situation?Posted by lisabethur8lol...my mother was never a single mother.
I agree that people should take sick leave if they are sick. or super emergencies but here in Europe if you need an EMERGENCY, you don't need to use your sick day. but I heard in the U.S, you do, because it's so strict and cheap in some employment offers?/benefits?
not sure about that I guess it depends on the company you work for.Posted by ElleDuMondelol

but your mother was probably a single mother with children and that's a very very HARD LIFE....
and she didn't even do it on purpose,
the only purpose she did was just walking out. lmao
IF I did that, my husband would be PISSED OFF! "No wife of mine better be doing shit like that." kind of spiel. lol
but a single mother, they usually have a very very hard life with children. and can barely afford commodities without scrimping. so I can see that.
...and this happened when my brother was in his thirties.click to expand

Posted by ElleDuMondeshopping stores have cameras and security guards and beepers before you leave the store.
I have walked out of a store without paying for somethimg before but didn't realise it until I got home.....in that case I wouldn't drive back and make a spectacle of myself.
However, if I knew I didn't pay for a $ 150 sweeper....I would be too fucking afraid of going to jail for shoplifting. I would have said something right away....and my brother would have too.
Thank goodness for my dad and him putting the fear of death by karma in us when it came to lying and stealing.
Scorpio dads FTW!
Posted by ElleDuMondePosted by lisabethur8Lol....she had every intention of paying the $ 150....she is just an opportunist.Posted by ElleDuMondeshopping stores have cameras and security guards and beepers before you leave the store.

how she did that is just insane.
she must be really hard up with money. $ $ $ no offense.
but then again, why get a 150 $ vacuum sweeper if you are broke??
get a cheaper one, they have them for less than 60 $ $ if you are broke, or go find a used vacuum cleaner on the for sale used ads.
there's always ways around to get what you need if you are broke, just be smart and look for used items online or on newpapers ads, and some used vacuums can cost 20 dollars or cheaper.
She would never pick out and buy something she couldn't afford....but if the opportunity strikes her...she will ride it all the way until she is caught red handed....then she will use the innocent pisces moon..."I am so sorry....I didn't know" crap.

Posted by LeDominoeswhat would you say then?
Questions are dumb and the answers don't reflect what I would actually say.
Posted by ElleDuMonde
Take the placements away then.
Some people are just opportunistic and don't care unless they get caught...and then try to back peddle or lie when they do get caught.
That's her....I grew up with her doing crazy shit like that....for no logical reason at all....my father worked hard to give her everything she wanted.
She just knew she could get away with it by claiming she didn't know what she was doing....and that worked for 90% of the time....the other 10% she deflected the blame on someone else and that worked too.


Posted by Wynterdo you like keeping the peace?? more like you lie because you don't want upsets?
You lie through gritted teeth
Of course you lie, like anyone else, but you don’t feel at ease with deceiving people, even when you are only disguising the truth very slightly. You begin to feel guilty almost straightaway. Telling lies, whether large or small, is not something you’re proud of. You are convinced someone is going to discover your lies and that you won’t be able to dig yourself out, which is far from being ideal. This makes you feel guilty and at the same time the idea of being caught red-handed is terrifying. Is this because of your upbringing? It’s possible, because you seem sometimes to judge other people quite severely and fear the judgment of others. Try to get things into perspective. Be a bit more relaxed and tolerant about what you expect of yourself. You can sometimes tell playful fibs that harm nobody.

Posted by lisabethur8Yeah, most of the time. The wedding dress question was different, I would certainly let my bestie know they look terrible in it, lol.Posted by Wynterdo you like keeping the peace?? more like you lie because you don't want upsets?

@Elle, I thought your brother lives with your mother because he enjoys staying with mother and doesn't want to leave?
Nope.
My brother is a mooch and she likes him codependent.
It works for both of them.

Posted by ElleDuMondegosh then, I don't know.
My father wasn't abusive towards my mother. My father wasn't abusive at all.
If he would have had a choice, he would have never divorced her....he just couldn't keep up with her whims and moving us all over the place because she got bored.
He finally said he wasn't moving any longer....after building and buying home after home for her....and she said...fine...I am divorcing you then.
The reason she didn't take either of us was because she could never keep a job and floated to family members for help...they got tired of her antics and she had no place to live.
I tried living with her for about two weeks before she pawned me off to another sister of hers...then I got smart and emancipated myself.
There are ten siblings in that family.....she is the only one like that. She makes up stuff to get them all to fight...even during my grandmother's funeral in February of this year.
I just can't feel any empathy. I would feel shame if I acted that way.
Posted by ElleDuMondethanks for sharing anyway, Elle.
I don't know, Lisa. I haven't tried figuring her out for a long time. She is just who she is. The road to acceptance is easier than hatred.
I am not looking for sympathy or even understanding.
The combo of my moon, mercury and neptune...I recite memories like stories....but I am just recounting them....I am not feeling them.....so, please don't waste any empathy on me...it's not that serious 🙂

I took it and it said I hate to lie, which is true but I did answer in the test that I LIE to the train conductor that I had lost my ticket even though I got on the train knowing I didn't have one, which would mean I would definitely be FINED.
and it says anyone who says they NEVER lie are liars.
I also did some stuff in there that I was sad about because it's true.
i would tell the bride to be her wedding dress sucks if i feel it sucks. I don't think i would be a good friend, unless my friend can take it.
also i was a little upset at the results of,
telling the appointment folks that i was late due to traffic! IF that ever happens i would probably BLAME traffic for my incompetence....other than that, i'm brutally honest.
and i got this result: basically i'm not perfect nor is anyone else for that matter.
