So I stole something for the first time in my adult life (accidentally)

All right so check it out...its Saturday night and im sitting pretty comfortably at a solid 7 when I decide to make a quick Publix run for some beer and ice cream. I get up there and grab what I needed right quick and in a hurry, but when I get to the front all the registers were packed and all I had was a few items, so I stroll up to the customer service counter cause the girls are always nice enough to ring up small transactions.

When I get to customer service there are 2 other people in front of me a mother and daughter returning some fried chicken from the deli. Mom and daughter get to the cashier and explain that they wanted regular fried chicken and not spicy chicken so the cashier asks her to go grab what she would like to exchange and bring it up to the register. While waiting for the duo to go grab what they originally intended to purchase, the cashier being an efficient little sweet heart proceeded to ring me up. There is someone behind me by the time she is done cashing me out so in an attempt to make room for the next guy I pick up my bags and beer while I wait for my change, I get my change and I am on my merry way.

Throw everything in the back seat, turn on the a/c and start blasting some tunes, im pulling out of the parking lot and pass the main entrance of the store and out of no where I get a huge whiff of what can only be fried chicken...I think to myself....well fuck me running...Publix is making a shit ton of fried chicken...I can smell it outside of the store...in my car...with the windows up...but hey that's what it has to be right.... couldn't be anything else right???

I get home and start getting stuff out of the car when I realize whats happened....as most of you have guessed already, it would seem that in my current state I was oblivious to the fact I was not only picking up my bags of groceries but also the still very warm and very aromatic spicy chicken that was awaiting its fate of being returned. Some might say I saved the spicy chicken from the most certain doom of going cold and not being eaten, some might call me a Hero but I don't like titles.
