How Corrupt Are You?

Minor corruption and sinning in everyday life are sometimes necessary, but every little transgression adds up, no matter how insignificant it seems at the time. To guide you through this complex moral maze, I've listed a few common sins and their respective demerit points.

1 pt - lying when a female friend asks if she looks good in a new dress and she doesn't
1 pt - spoiling the ending of a detective novel by reading the last page first
2 pts - double-dipping at a dinner party - dunking a cracker into the guacamole more than once
2 pts - accidentally taking home office stationery and not returning it
3 pts - putting little pebbles or metal washers into a charity collection box rather than coins
3 pts - avoiding paying to leave a car park by driving out through the entrance
3 pts - texting and drinking a milkshake while driving
4 pts - cheating in an exam by storing equations in your calculator, or writing answers on your arm
4 pts - repeatedly killing by neglect bonsai plants you've received as gifts
5 pts - climbing through a hole in a fence to get into a football match for free
5 pts - holding someone else's unopened mail up to the light in hope of reading it
6 pts - intentionally entering toilets of the wrong gender 
7 pts - throwing slugs and snails into a neighbour's garden
8 pts - throwing dog poo into a neighbour's garden
8 pts - claiming it was your partner or friend not you who was driving through a speed camera
10 pts - driving at more than 200km/h
