have any of you jumped the line in a store when it is crowded? I never jump queue. I don't go into the 12 items of fewer line when I have 13 items. I don't consider it unethical to count a bunch of grapes as one item, though B^) I perosnally think that a lot of ethics wouldn't even be necessary to consider if people would just be more polite. have any of you cut someone off in traffic, and, then, given them the finger? Don't drive, but no, I never did that when I did drive. We have a name for people who do that around here. We call them 'Jersey Drivers' have any of you paid only the REGULATED charges on your phone bill, and let the unregulated, which you can't be "shut off" for, just ride and ride into credit hell? Nope. When I don't pay the phone bill, I don't pay the whole damned thing. And that's only recently, when MCI failed to charge me correctly and I refuse to pay the incorrect charged and they refuse to admit they screwed up, because, of course, big companies never screw up. I have a tiny amount of long-term damage to some of my credit from when I lived in a co-rental apartment when I was in University. That's where one four-bedroom is leased to four different people who don't necessarily know one another. Well, I had some of the bills in my name, and one of the other tenants abused my dog and left town with a bunch of high phone bills in my name. I won't ever pay them those other people's bills. I just wish they'd get the clue. have any of you knowingly ever bounced a check? No, but I actually got arrested in Indiana for accidentally bouncing one. Never ever ever go to Indiana. They are looney there. It's illegal to walk funny. have any of you taken and eaten candy from the bulk bin while shopping at a store? No, that would be stealing! Seriously, I never would. I have stuck my hand down in a bin of nuts, though. But I didn't take any. have any of you EVER used cable from a neighbor's connection...splitting the bill, perhaps Nuh-uh. No kidding. But I won't get on anyone else's case about it either. If it's gonna get them karma, it's gonna get them karma. It's not my job to enforce the laws of action/reaction. It'll happen on its own, and the reaction will tell. BTW, despite the fact that I'm a witch, I don't take the 'returns three times' thing literally. Actually, I consider it to be an even reaction in purely Newtonian fashion. It just seems three times worse when it happens to you. However, if anything truly does count as straight out objectively unethical, I'd have to say that thing is Spam. It violates theft, destruction of usefulness, and politeness rules. I think it should bear the death penalty.
