Kleptomanic

adjective

Pronunciation: /ˌklɛptəˈmænɪk/

Definition:

Inclined to steal or slightly prone to petty theft, especially in a habitual or opportunistic way, without necessarily having the medical condition of kleptomania.

Resembling or characteristic of a thief; thievish.

Etymology:
Formed in English by analogy with kleptomania and kleptomanic (rare), combining klepto- (Greek kleptein, “to steal”) + -manic (suggesting an obsessive tendency).

Usage notes:

Distinct from kleptomaniac, which refers to a person with the recognized psychological disorder kleptomania.

Often used informally or descriptively, similar in sense to thievish or light-fingered.

Examples:

“He’s a bit kleptomanic when it comes to office supplies.”
He’s a bit kleptomanic when it comes to office supplies.”

If when you find rarely used adjectives which apply to yourself, you immediately and impulsively take them and use them to your own benefit or to describe yourself, you could be described as a verbal kleptomaniac.
