There's been recent events that have made me bring up this topic. These events include a girl's post about stealing customer's money, stupid bitch cook stealing from me at my other job, Russian male bitches stealing money from my friend when she was in Australia a few years ago, and so on. The topic of theft accusations has been a sore spot for me and a past insecurity of mine. Please share any thoughts on this.
I was raised to believe that stealing is wrong and unethical. It is something that hurts people. Overall I haven't stolen from people, except for a few petty things when I was a child that you'll agree aren't a big deal. Here's a run-down on my so-called "stealing":
1.) When I was 11yrs old, my little sister bitched because I would leave my bath sponge hanging on the shower faucet after a shower, instead of hanging it on the wall with my towel. No big deal, especially compared to the mess that my 31-yr-old roommate Bob makes nowadays at my place! My mom sided with my sister(as she often did), and made me pay $0.25 for every time I forgot to hang my bath sponge on the wall. I had to pay my sister a total of $1.00 during a time that I made only $2/week allowance. So one day, I stole my $1.00 back outta my sister's piggy bank. This was also to spite them for making a mountain outta a molehill and letting it affect my wallet.
2.) When I was 16, I worked at shitty McDonalds. I bought these Furbie Happy Meal toys one day, put them in the break room, then at the end of my shift when I was walking towards the break room to retrieve my toys, the dickhead manager(he had a Napolean complex) yelled at me and didn't let me into the break room. He just needed an excuse to be bossy. As a result, my toys got stolen. The next workday when I discovered this, I stole some Furbie Happy Meal toys(a $1.99 value) to make up for the theft that wouldn't have happened if the manager had let me go back to the break room like he did everyone else.
3.) Right before I succombed to dancing, I was dirt poor and literally damn near starving(I will save myself the shame/embarrassment by divulging further detail; just trust my word). I had a shitty hostess job and I needed to take the bus far out to the suburbs to get to it. On a few desperate times, I would buy a $0.60 bus transfer, as opposed to a $1.30 ticket, and hope the bus driver wouldn't notice the difference.
Heh I'm not much of a burglar, am I?
Then why have people falsely accused me of stealing so much before?
Remember I told you I was penniless before dancing? During that time, I was staying with a friend because I couldn't afford an apartment and my mom kicked me out. We'd arranged to meet up at this popular neighborhood bar after I was done work(shitty part-time hostess gig). I got to the bar, minded my own business, and didn't do any harm. There were a few people who kinda mocked me for not having money like them(it was a rich little suburb town). For example, this one asshole said "YEAH RIGHT!" really rudely when I told another guy that I had a college scholarship. Well, that same asshole drank and drank and lost track of how much he'd spent on drinks. At the end of the night, he came up $40 short because he'd forgotten that he'd bought so many drinks. He didn't know me, but immediately blamed the $40 shortage on me. His reason?..."We all know she's having a hard time and doesn't have a real job other than a min wage part time gig but she has all this debt, she stole the money because she needed it." What's worse, is he couldn't even approach/confront me about it, but instead went behind my back. The whole bar(including the bartender) sided with this asshole, and all I saw was the whole bar arguing with my friend about something and I didn't even know what it was about until my friend told me about it later. The bartender had records of how many drinks he'd purchased, but even SHE blamed me before thinking to look at the receipts! In the end, the asshole admitted his mistake but never apologized to me or even tried to be nice to me. Meanwhile, people were telling my friend that he had "wrong judgment" to let me stay with him because I might steal something. Not long afterward, this so-called "friend" told me he didn't want to ever hear from me again.
The next day, I was on the bus and I needed change for a dollar(they only took coins for bus tickets). I asked this seemingly nice old lady for change. I gave her my dollar, and as she reached into her coin purse for change, a few coins dropped onto the floor and amist picking them up, she forgot to give me my change. Because I was unassertive, I waited like 5mins or more before asking her for my change, and she claimed that she gave it to me. Then she accused me of being a "thief" and trying to con an old lady. She got everyone on the bus on her side. Because I was going through a lot of problems in my life, I was deeply offended so I argued back and started crying. When we both got off the bus, she told a group of old ladies waiting at the bus stop to "watch out" for me because I was a thief. I never got my quarters that I needed for my bus ticket.
A few days after that, I was waiting at a (different) bar for a friend. I was talking to an acquaintence and (stupidly) telling him about some of my big problems, such as no money, no job, my parents disowned me, etc. We arranged to hang out later on if my friend was a no-show(it was snowing, so I was waiting for my friend but didn't count 100% on him making it). Meanwhile, his friends started gossiping to him and telling him to not let me visit him apartment, because if I was poor/underemployed, I would probably steal. AGAIN! They also accused me of being a fuckin' COKE ADDICT, simply because I was sniffling and rubbing my nose! The truth was, there was a big snowstorm that weekend, and I had a RUNNY NOSE from waiting outside in the cold at the bus stop for a long time!
It angers me that I was such a good person, yet people still accused me of stealing. They didn't accuse me because I had a proven track record...they didn't accuse me because I came off as a rude/malicious person...they accused me simply because I was poor. Isn't that economic discrimination? The truth is, the reason these assholes accused me of stealing, is because if they were in my poor shoes, they WOULD have stolen...odds are, if they were in my shoes, *I* woulda been the idiot they woulda stolen from! Recently, some asshole at work stole MY credit card and she wasn't in nearly as bad of a money situation as I was in before, and I never stole. It angers me profusely. Because of these accusations, I've become excessively untrusting of people and I've also put more of an emphasis on shallow things like money, nice possessions, etc because I know that if I DON'T have much money, people will discriminate and treat me like shit.
Has anyone had similar experiences? Has anyone found that they've gotten more respect, and less false accusations, when they went from rags to riches?

I feel like a disgrace to women. Now that I have implants, I seem to have a much easier time getting guys than before. A lot of guys who were friends but only friends before(such as S--n), are now suddenly interested in me sexually. Yeah I use them to get what I want, but I never give a relationship, even though some of them(such as S--n) have wanted one in the recent past. Surprisingly, not all guys are dogs like I am, and they told me that they felt kinda used or that they wished I wanted to date them monogamously. Oh well.
Not a bad quality. But you're not going to make me believe the "whoa is my sex drive" plea.
Sounds like a great way to attract chicks, too.
