people don't know how to shoplift correctly but it does serve you right..

You could of always walked around asking people if they had some change to spare till you have enough.

When your roommate does something like this, return the favor by using his toothbrush to scrub the toilet. That should get the point across that casually using something without asking will be met with consequences...

Nobody is going to feel bad for you because your poor. That's not an excuse. Stealing is stealing and it's not like they will bend the rules for u.

I don't care what the excuse is or how much you try to justify it; you DON'T steal things! That's something you should have learned in kindergarten. I realize it's just a little toothbrush and it's horribly disgusting that your roommate used yours for such a nasty purpose, but the proper thing to do would have been to confront your roommate and make him/her buy you a new toothbrush. If they refused, well, maybe you should balance your money more. I can't imagine anyone, even someone without a job, being so broke they couldn't afford a $1 toothbrush at the dollar store. And yes, they do have them; I worked at Dollar General for a year and I know they exist. So YDI for shoplifting when there are better, legal options.

You must be from Edmonton.

You can buy toothbrushes for a dollar....

just tell that jerk they owe you a new one!!!!!! geez!

Funny but sad :/

You should have taken her money to buy it, because she basically owes you.
