Suppose that Marcus works as a programmer for a decent sized company. Around midday, his daughter calls and asks him to stop by the local office supply store after work to purchase some ink and printer paper so that she can finish a school project. Marcus readily agrees to the request. As the day progresses, Marcus’ workload becomes immense. By the end of the day, he is very tired. As he is about to leave work, Marcus remembers his daughter’s request. He definitely doesn’t want to disappoint or be guilty of lying to his daughter. He very much wants his daughter to always think of him as being very reliable and trustworthy. Nor does he want to hinder her ability to complete the school project. Success in school is, after all, very important. However, Marcus is so very tired and simply wants to return home and rest for the evening. Stopping by the office supply store would add an extra 45+ minutes to his return commute. At that moment, Marcus notices the numerous printer ink cartridges and reams of paper on shelves in the company breakroom. He begins to think, ‘No one is around and no one will ever miss a few ink cartridges nor packages of paper. Moreover, company administrators seem to waste multiple ink cartridges and packages of paper a week on useless interoffice memos. And, I worked really hard today. Come to think of it, I’ve worked really hard for the entire month! The company can well afford to give me a small bonus for my recent work performance and to donate some supplies to my daughter’s educational success.’ Marcus quickly relocates two ink cartridges and packages of paper from the shelves into his bag and then exits the building. Upon returning home, his daughter is happy to receive the supplies and his company never notices the missing ink nor paper.
