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?

3 years worth of free train ridesMy journey to work in the mornings was only 2 stops on the line, about 10 mins travel time. They used to want to charge me £2.50 or so for this short journey each day, so as my minor act of rebellion, I decided not to buy any more tickets. For 3 years.
Easy enough, noone ever was on duty to check tickets going into the station, or off at the other end. About every 4 months there'd be a random ticket check, most of which I blagged, and two where I had to pay a fine of £20 on the spot (or take it to court).
So, total of about £40 outlay on fines netted me 52*5*2.50, about £650's worth of travelling for free, per year, or getting on for 2 grand over the 3 years.
Still, they're money grabbing cunts at the best of time with overpriced sandwiches, coffee and beer, so they can fuck right off. Cunts.
