Things you're ashamed of doing way back

I once did a shameful thing. I was walking down a road and saw a wallet on the floor. I opened it and found £14 inside. It was at a time when that was a decent sum of money - I took the cash and dropped the empty wallet back on the ground. It might have belonged to some poor old person to whom it meant a lot, and I've felt ashamed ever since.
Another - I was walking home late one night well oiled and needing a crap. Realising I'd never make back to my house, I did the business in a neighbour's front garden. I never knew if he realised it was me.
I must stop torturing myself with guilt.
 
To my great shame my dad gave me his wallet for safe keeping as his hands were full of shopping. He made me promise to guard it with my life, which I duly did. It had £14 inside which at the time was a lot of money, mostly in old £1 notes.
Of course I dropped it, I know shameful, such carelessness but imagine the relief I felt when on retracing my steps to see the wallet on the ground close to where I must have lost it, my heart leapt with joy, just as it did when Dickov scored that goal, only to discover it was empty. A small boy left in despair, I didn't dare go home for fear of what my dad might do to me. I hope the rag twunt who found it and took the money got what he deserves...……..

I did worse than that and it’s the ultimate shame. I went to a Rag away game in the 80’s cos my flatmate said he would pay and buy all my beers. It was hideous. I felt unclean for weeks.

To maybe top that I stood in the Liverpool end at Wembley for the 1988 Community Shield for similar reasons.

I am fucking ashamed of myself still.

All part of the Morrissey Journey!

I had two poor women stood next to me at his Liverpool gig that he stopped after 1.5 songs. They had flown in from Berlin to see him

Great :)
 
I remember my worst time when my mum gave me my dads wallet to take to pay a fine for his pal. The fine was £14, this was years ago and was nearly two weeks wages. Anyway, I got chased by about eight little scroats, battered 7 of them, but the 8th had me and to stop him stealing the wallet I threw it away hoping I would find it.

Anyway, I was searching for ages when up the road I noticed this right dodgy looking **** picking something up, he hurried away like a right bastard.

I got to the court and because we couldn’t pay the fine he went to jail. Poor **** hanged himself the same night. On hearing the news his 80 year old mum dropped dead, his sister became an alcoholic then prostitute, eventually dies of Aids.

I hope the rat who found it enjoyed the £14, all in £1 notes if I remember correctly.

Never got over it really.
 
i'm a very decent bloke and would/have helped plenty of people but the one thing that i'm truly ashamed of happened in my school days which i often think about and wish i could apologise for,there was girl in my class in the early 70s and we always argued and one day she started hitting me, i hit her back and made her cry,i wish i could tell her how sorry i was and still am,ive tried to find her on social media but to no avail.:(
