Today at Target, I let my son play with a toy, bite on it, drool on it, etc on it. Then, I put it back. I never really intended to buy it. But I knew he would like to play with it for a couple minutes. Then it hit me: I am part of the problem.
He didn't do damage to the toy--it was just drooly and wet. The rest of the consumers will probably think that is gross. They may be right. But at the time, I didn't really care about what other people thought.
Do other parents out there act crazy and irresponsible like this? Or am I the only one? Or is this one of those things, like pooping, that people do but don't talk about?

Your post made me laugh because your crime really isn't so bad compared to what Eldon and I have done. Like you, I tend to give Eldon something fun and new to play with as we are shopping. Twice now I have forgotten that I gave Eldon anything. Once we were home I realized we had stolen the items accidentally! I suppose I could have brought the things back but... I don't know, it seemed like too much work at the time. So now we have a cute little red football and a hand held mini massager. Oops!
