I always assume alarms will go off when I leave stores through contraptions like this. Perceived guilt? Probably.

I get nervous passing through any sensor! Sometimes, I feel guilty just for the thought that someone might think I’m swiping something. I’ll put that on my long list of items to address if I ever get myself to therapy.

I am a librarian and you feel nervous because the systems go off for no reason sometimes. We know when someone isn’t stealing something: they freeze when the alarms go off, get really red and return to the checkout desk. The dirtbags that are stealing just keep going. And the good book thieves know how to take out the sensitizing strips. Sorry on behalf of the library world, LOL!

I am with you. I’m the woman who gets out of the pool when they call break b/c I forget break is only for kids. And I had to go into the teacher’s lounge at the kids’ school and I felt like I was breaking the rules. And when I stand next to a police officer I’m always worried I’m going to get arrested. For what, I don’t know?!

I am ALWAYS nervous leaving the library! What if the books didn’t sit on the self checkout long enough?

I got pulled over once, about 12 years ago, because my tags were expired. Now I knew my tags were expired, and was actually on my way to the DMV to get that fixed (Really!)- so I had a pretty good idea as to why I was being pulled over. But as I am sitting there waiting for the cop to come up to my window; to helpfully inform me that my tags were expired, I am riding on so much adrenaline you would have thought I had a trunk full of drugs. I’m sitting there sweating and practically shaking – thinking WTF is wrong with me?? Good to know I am not alone.

Me, too. But, really, it means you have a darker side. Mwah ah ah.

I think I have finally grown out of the adrenaline rush/irrational fear and paranoia when I see a cop car following me. It has only taken 10 years in uniform, clearly I am a slow learner.
