Uni Students: do you sometimes steal from shops

Why do girls think its acceptable to steal mugs from Starbucks etc?
Surely having one of those mugs just shows everybody all the time while you're drinking from it that you're a thief.
If you took one of your friends round to your parents house for tea and you found out that they'd stolen one of your Mum's mugs, wouldn't you find it a bit disappointing?

The issue is that you'll never know whether it was stolen or not (unless they specifically tell you) since they do sell their mugs.

Lets be honest you're not doing it out of some Robin Hood act of redistribution away from the multinational corporations though are you. It's the spoilt middle class girl attitude of
"see something I want....am entitled to.....must take.....it's not really stealing cos I'm a girl"
"see something I want....am entitled to.....must take.....it's not really stealing cos I'm a girl"
Thats why I stole stuff in my early teens pretty much, because I wanted to have nice makeup etc like my friends and I didn't have any money to buy it. I imagine its the same with all of the overgrown adolescents on here.
Anyone that does that is scum, student or not (but espeically student)

Do you know how much coffee costs in Starbucks? You're basically buying the mug anyway.
Only pint glasses. One night I was dressed as a burglar so I had to play the part and fill my swag bag, really. Our flat does look better with all the stuff people have brought back from nights out - my personal favourite is a 'Only food purchased on the premises may be consumed' sign from a pub which is now on our kitchen door. Our 'No dogs' sign from the same pub got stolen from us, which is fair enough I suppose.

Toilet roll is a waste of money.
No, no i would say toilet roll is really quite important.
The only thing I "steal" is printer paper from the uni library. I don't feel remotely guilty, UCL seem to have an unlimited paper supply and I'm paying them enough in tuition fees. Printer paper is expensive!!

I have a mug from Starbucks too that i took 
When I went to Scotland abut 5 years ago, we were at one of the wildlife reserves and had coffee (4 of us). Slipped all the empty mugs into our bags, and made out that we'd got it from the gift shop, albeit the coffee stains.
