Does anyone else feel that sense of anxiety that you will set off the alarm while leaving the store?

I hate that when that happens. I go to the nearest wall, throw up my hands (and arms), spread 'em and wait for the gendarme.

1. Some times I tell them I have a plate in my head.

2. the next time it goes off (and you dont have anything), RUN!

Stop running about ten steps out the door and try to act casual.

3. Not since I quit shoplifting.

5. One time I bought something and the clerk

left that sensor doohickey on the purchased item. It didn't set off an alarm when I left the store, so I had no idea it was there. But it did set off the alarm in every other store when I entered and again when I exited. Had to go back to the first store and say, "Yo! I think we got a problem."

6. That's happened to me twice

both times I waited for the security guard and both times they signaled I should leave. Then I got home and couldn't use my purchase because the *#)@*# security thing was stuck on. When I returned to the store(s) to get them to remove it the alarm went off again but as the jerks were looking for someone leaving....

7. I'm just waiting for that bright flash and poof of smoke

when they get too close to my natural static-electric field

8. Only when I've got a fifth of bourbon stuffed down my pants. n/t
