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?

I know himYep, I know the gentleman. Always outside the Sainsburys, hassling every single person who goes in. Incredibly, incredibly annoying. And so many little phrases...
"Two free staples with every copy!"
"Only three left and I can go!" (number mysteriously does not decrease)
I bought a Big Issue off him once. Fine, help the homeless, feel good about yourself kind of thing. The second the Big Issue had left his hand, he immediately returned to his little spiel as if I'd never spoken to him.
Now, am I being a bit unreasonable, or is a simple "Thankyou" or "Thanks" too much to ask for? Or even a grunt of acknowledgement? Something?
