How to get the guts to do something

[randomtypos]

i've been around my local grocery stores for a couple days now, and i've seen numerous dumb women who just leave their purses in the cart for someone to snatch while they pick out their vegetables or something of the aisle, but i haven't been able to summon to courage to just grab their purse and take off.

the fear of them randomly turning around and yelling "HEY HE TOOK MY PURSE!" stops me. but i wait like 30 seconds and they're still picking out groceries and i go to myself, "damn, i could have take the purse and been off by then".

what do you guys do when you're feeling nervous and committing and get yourself to just do it?

i know, kind of a dumb question, but serious answers are appreciated.

Sounds like you're 11 years old, you could just hide inside a ketchup bottle or something.

[REDiXP]

Meth

[Psych]

Dont take the whole purse, just snatch the wallet out the top.

[moonturtle]

first thing's first, you have to dressup as a grandma that way you'll be less conspicuous carrying a purse

[Rimbaud]

hm I don`t know about purse snatching in a super market.

running with a purse out to your escape route is obviously a dumb idea.

trying to grab the purse and conceal it would be fine, if you can dream up some way to do that.

Keeping in mind of other people around, cameras, mirrors, LPs and staff.

and if you get out of the store with the purse, there`s probably more tampons and kleenex in the purse than actual cash.

Purse snatching is not a smart idea, especially if you're going to take it in the store.remember there's always a captain save a hoe ready to save a bitch...

Alcohol, Xanax. Not so much you get overconfident though. There's a thread about that here in Bad Ideas somewhere...

lol, I lost all fear of everything after 3 days awake on meth and a half a box of Franzia. It made me feel like.. not intoxicated, yet very fucking shady and crafty. I'd advise against that route, I did some things in one night that could have ended horribly like they were nothing. i got this con man persona going on randomly where I just assumed everything was free for the taking. It was a weird mental spot to be in, and quite the trip.

if you want no fear but no common sense/tact either, try mixing alcohol and benzos.

But most of the time, when you don't have the balls to do something its for good reason.

[reject]

Tell myself to stop being a little bitch and man up and do it.

I always used to say that drug induced courage would only work while drunk... then I abused the fuck out of hard liquor for 9 months and then it started carrying through to when I was sober... even when I cut my drinking down by ~80%.

[delysid]

Just fucking do it faggot.

[Lillypad]

Don't steal from some lady man that's gonna put her through some stress have some morals

[Vox Ducis]

Go to a biker bar and steal their motorcycles.

Do it FAGGOT!!!

[Proots]

Chances are, they will turn around and yell "Hey! He took my purse! Help! Stop him!". If you think you're quick enough, go for it. Otherwise, be prepared to get caught.

Yeah, you need more tact. You need to appear like you're higher up on the chain of command than them. Think suits, certain uniforms, etc. Be fucking creative.

You think the guy is going to able to get much less pull off wearing a suit if he doesn't have the gaul to snatch a fucking purse? By God, you really did drink yourself retarded. I will pray for you.

yeah your alcohol dependency and ridiculous intake have been a good thing, right?

[NordicRaider]

Your criminal character is not going to be believable in your book if you have him do something like this on his first time out (assuming it is). This is what I'd say to the character:

First off, don't be an idiot and grab their purse. The longer it takes for a crime to be reported, the harder it is to catch the perpetrator. You want to get the money or wallet out of the purse. If she immediately realizes it's gone as soon as she turns around, she's going to call for help, security locks the front doors, and you're fucked. You want her to think nothing's wrong until she goes to get the money out, by which time you are (hopefully) long gone.

Second, if you're too scared to do it, don't. You have your instincts for a reason. If it seems like a stupid idea that's going to possibly get you in a lot of deep shit, it probably is. If this is your first "operation," please don't fucking do something where all that has to happen is a person turns their head or comes around the corner and you're screwed. Go car shopping or something. Walk into unlocked garages, that sort of thing (and please, for the love of god, wear gloves).

Third - and this is my opinion, of course, but fuck it, I'm saying it anyway - don't rob random ladies in the store. That's just cruel. Taking people's shit because they're idiots and don't secure it is one thing, but how would you feel if you had a shopping cart full of you're family's dinner for that week and then you turn around and can't pay for it cause some asshole lifted your wallet. Again, you'll do what you want, but my opinion is, there's no reason to be an asshole about it.
