Yesterday morning I bought something for $50 to do some work on my truck. It ended up not working on my truck because it was too small. I returned it yesterday evening. When I returned it I told the cashier I tried to use it but it didn’t work on my truck. He looked at it and accepted the return.

A couple minutes after driving off I second guessed if I did the morally wrong thing. I did damage one of the pieces and at the time I didn’t think to disclose that and show it to the cashier. I only told him I used it and it didn’t work. Everything is still usable and in working condition but it’s just scratched and banged up in one spot.

I actually called the store this morning to explain that I had done minor damage to one the items. The store clerk told me not to worry about it.

I understand its probably not a mortal sin because I didn’t intentionally do it. However I still feel a cloud of guilt that I sinned against God. I think I’m beginning to have some serious scruples. Any advice on what you guys think this situation and how to deal with scrupulousity would be very much appreciated.

Talk to your Priest and follow his guidance. I’d also recommend talking to a health professional about these worries.
