“So, I killed this guy’s son by running the little brat over with my car. Later on, I felt bad, so I went back and knocked up his wife to make up for it. Was that wrong?”
Hypothetical sarcasm, of course.
is it stealing? yes
you didn’t have to have them that second…
I stole a few things when I was a kid, just to prove to myself that I was brave enough to. But when I realized I wasn’t going to get caught, I just felt really stupid. And low. That’s probably how you feel now, and you should. But stop making excuses for yourself to a bunch of strangers on the internet. It’s pathetic.

I bet you would have felt as stupid, if not even worse, if you had been caught. Lol.
How did you return them without a receipt? BTW, you can call it taking or borrowing, but its called stealing if your caught.

Getting caught wouldn’t have been a problem. I could deal with the punishment. But I can imagine the disappointed look on my parent’s faces and that would have hurt more than anything.
“This is my son? This has to be my son?”
you spelled your username wrong

Sarcasm? I’m a very sarcastic person but not in this instance.
I never said he was ‘right’ when he stole the first pair. But he did what was right and actually paid when he could afford to.
Yes, stealing is wrong. So is cannibalism. Yet people will eat humans if they have no choice. Right from wrong all comes down to circumstances.
The OP stole the glasses because he had no money. I’m assuming he drives for a living which is why he drives ‘all day’. Perhaps he, like me, has sensitive eyes. I honestly cannot drive without sunglasses.
Yes, it’s wrong to steal. But he could very well have caused an accident and hurt someone had he drove all day without the shades.
It’s not like he did a home-invasion robbery. Nor did he steal in order to fuel a drug habit. What he did is “justifiable” considering the situation.
Ask a cop and let us know if he hooks you up.
2 wrongs make a right

The Wongs
Su Wong marries Lee Wong. The next year, the Wongs
have a new baby. The nurse brings them over a lovely,
healthy, bouncy, definitely Caucasian white baby boy!
“Congratulations,” says the nurse to the new parents.
“What will you name the baby”?
The puzzled father looks at his new baby boy and says,
"Well, two Wong’s don’t make a white, so I think we
will name him Sum Ting Wong!

Folks try to justify what they know is wrong.
To be clear, he stole the glasses. I also think he’s fibbing about the whole story.
You’ve got some ethics issues my friend. Do not romanticize a criminal action. Stealing is stealing and there is not justification. At least be an adult and call yourself the petty thief that you are.

I’d like to steal something from you
Fair enough, OG. To be honest, I’m just playing devil’s advocate here. I’m not saying I totally agree with you, but I respect your opinion. So don’t take it as anything different. 
It sort of falls into that ‘help yourself’ catagory.

Only if you also stole beer from his fridge afterwards
The important question is: how can you not have money for sunglasses ?
The only valid answer would be: I’m six years old and my daddy doesn’t give me any allowance.
