Have you ever brought more than x items to an express lane marked "x items or less"?

Yes, I have.
No, I have not.

Of course I have.  I'm a bad person.

Only if the express aisle is empty

No, we aren't dealing with any moral dimension here, Todd.

Just seeking data.

Society is built on lines and rules. A rule, then, about a line is the very essence of our social structure.

Karl, how dare you! Even the question itself is insulting!

No, I haven't. I obey all petty rules and regulations. I only break really important laws. Life's too short to waste criminal activity on the trivial. Rebel with grand gestures...and let quotidian life glide by without making unseemly waves.

Of course, Sarge, in Germany, bringing 13 items into a 12-items-or-less line is punishable by death  ;D

Maciek, this is the closest I've come to feeling like Jerry Springer.

I'm not sure I at all like it.

But it must serve some improving purpose.

So is not cleaning your street on Saturday afternoon. One must be very careful here...and very clean  ;D

Yes, but only after receiving permission from the cashier upon having fully disclosed the nature and magnitude of my transgression.

Drasko

Can't remember when last time had more items than x. I'm a light shopper

I had 10 items, but they flashed bubble gum in front of my face.

As a musician, I usually don't count past the number 4.

Oh, you'll like one of the piano pieces I played on my recital today.  I snuck in a couple of 11/16 measures in there.  Do you some good.

I think the question should be "Have you ever intentionally brought more than X items...." give us a little wiggle room, at any rate!

My family lived in Frankfurt in the late '60s. Not long after we moved into our first house, the police showed up one morning because my brother was mowing the lawn...on a Sunday!!! They asked us (quite nicely) not to do it again.

1. I used to race little old ladies for the last empty seat on the bus.
2. I would occasionally expectorate on the floor of the classroom I was in (as a student)
3. I often picked my nose in public, then surreptitiously wiped my hand on the shoulder of the poor victim sitting next to me.
4. While teaching, I farted and blamed it on a student.
5. While moving through an aisle towards a centrally located seat, I selectively stepped on the toes of people that wouldn't pull their legs in.
6. I am rude and abusive towards people that can't make "change" correctly.
7. If I was asked to "hurry" while filling a prescription, I deliberately worked even slower.
8. If a waiter or waitress does not provide the kind of service I expect, I leave no "tip" at all. Same goes for barbers and taxicab drivers.
9. I OFTEN told lies to keep, or get me out of trouble. Usually worked.
10. If I think highly of you. I will let you know it. If I think you're a piece of crap, I'll let you know that too. WITHOUT HESITATION. I sleep VERY well.
"Good", is NOT good enough, when "better" is expected
