WSH is right, I don't think anyone actually reads your posts: "On a scale of one-to-ten, how unethical was this "person"?
My answer: 3
First of all, by "stealing" a better pair of goggles, you're really teaching the hot swimming pool person a lesson. Everyone knows that they're suppose to ask you to describe your lost item *before* they let you look at the lost-and-found box. As an ethical and semi-aquatic human being, it's your affirmative duty to teach this ne'er-do-well a lesson. Q.E.D.
The ethical dilemma is on the person who bought the cheapo "Made in China" $15 goggles...that's only 7.50 an eye! Who came up with that number, the US government? Ethical conundrum: If the "person" wears those goggles and slams their head into the wall because the expensive goggles are perscription and I REALLY NEED THEM BACK...anyway if they slam their head because they can't see the wall...then am I, I mean is the swim attendant responsible for damages?
