Ugh, I feel so awful.
So someone left some earbuds at work today. This has happened before and no one ever claims them and so this time I did something I knew was wrong and took them home with me. Then I missed a text and call from a coworker asking if I'd seen them- I lied and said I hadn't because I felt bad . . .either way I was in the wrong- I should've just said yes and that I forgot I put them in my apron- I have honestly forgot I've put stuff in my apron for safe keeping before in the past- then I got a call from work and it was him and he said that they looked at the security camera and it looked like I had moved them possibly in my apron. I said oh well maybe I could check because I didn't remember and then ' checked and said that I had forgotten and that I was really sorry but I still feel like a piece of **** and I hope my coworker doesn't think I'm a piece of **** because I've never done that before and I'm always helping people out and turning in lost or forgotten items. I don't know why I did this. I'm posting here because I didn't know where else to post. . ..

(and I thought it'd be best to post here because I have absentmindedly held on to pens and other small items in the past- so maybe this fits in the category of kleptomania?)
