Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

When I was working in Threshersback in the day, I was doing a day shift on me own, and it was getting on to 6pm when a group of chav kids come in and started eyeing up the place. Anyway, one of them comes up and asks for fags, which I serve up after a quick ID check. I give him his change and then he stares at me, then eventually says 'Yeah, well can I have the fags then?'.
Me: 'I swear I just gave them to you?'
Him: (empties pockets) 'No, look.'
This carries on until a point, where the boy pulls down his tracksuit bottoms and takes off his shirt and says 'Look, search me, check my clothes, I haven't got them.'
At this point this is the last thing I need, and I started to doubt myself so I handed over a pack of cigarettes and the boys go on their way.
Later, I checked the CCTV just to see how I could have been so stupid. One of this lads mates were standing by the door, and the moment I'd handed him the first pack, and looked down to count his change up, he'd tossed them across to him.
What a load of old bollocks to go through over getting a free pack of cigs, I'd have just pulled out a knife and taken a few boxes....

My sistersboth used to work in threshers and on numerous occassions went and locked themselves into the back because they had some chavs/drunks/tramps come in with a brick/knife etc. I think they'd have rather had the people pull their pants down instead.
