Abusing freebies
A friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

Reps
In the bike trade you get all kinds of reps coming in pedalling their wares (helmets, clothing, parts etc) and we spend most of our time trying to get free stuff, pretty good we thought until the boss found out. As i was taking delivery of my new Arai helmet (worth £300), he came storming into the parts department shouting at the rep as to why he was giving the staff freebies when he was the one owning the shop, why did we all have free helmets and he had an old one, the rep panicked and offered him anything to appease him, including a £550 race replica lid. anyways after a few days the bosses new helmet arrived. he calmly took it out of the box,laughed,put a price tag on it and put it on sale for £550. apparently he does this to every rep every year. the jammy swine

I wonder...
a deliberate mis-spelling of peddling so it is bike related?
