Today, my financial situation is so dire that I tried to steal toilet paper from work. I got caught. FML
Today, I realized that I'd run out of deodorant. On top of that, I was late to work so I had to run, making me all sweaty and smelly. To cover it up, I used the air-freshener in the toilet at work. Everyone recognized the "Lemon Tree" scent and now all of my colleagues think I'm a cheap bastard. FML
Today, I was drying myself with a towel after a shower when I noticed a bad smell. After running out of toilet paper last night, one of my friends decided to use my clean towel to wipe herself instead. FML
Today, I was standing in the gas station, pulling out my wallet to pay the $100 of gas I just filled my car with. I opened my wallet and found a note saying "borrowed money for food". FML

Please don't steal. Asking for help is a much better option. Better to borrow or even beg.

Takes more courage and bravery to know when to ask for help than to suffer alone.

If you're embarrassed that you need help, get over it and ask for what you need. If you have good friends they'll help you, you don't have to steal. If you don't have good friends, there are places that will help people to get necessities/toiletries or give them out. I know cause I'm broke and I've never stolen a thing.

Mmm, garlic butter. Maybe op can pretend to get stood up on a date at Olive garden for the free garlic breadsticks while "waiting" for her "date" to show up.

While it's obviously a better idea to beg than steal, some peoples pride is hard to break. It's difficult to admit defeat and ask people for help.

Buy the cheapest one you can find. I think you can afford to pay $1.50 for deodorant.
