Ripped OffA friend who worked in a second hand record shop told us about a Japanese guy who regularly bought "rare" records in their shop. One time, he was looking for a signed copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks".
They didn't have one. Four people and one magic marker later, they did. Ker-ching!
How have you been ripped off? Who did you rip off? Are you a British Gas customer?

Tricks of the trade..When I took over my first pub, I found a few strange things that the previous landlord had instigated as cost saving measures....
For a start the gin and vodka never seemed to get anyone pissed for some reason....there was a nail hammered into the control panel of the heating meaning it couldn't be turned up past igloo level, and he had printed off price lists 5p more expensive than the real price the brewery had set and disconnected the till display that the customer can see meaning he was earning a fucking fortune each week.
But the best was the 3x2p pieces he had superglued in the bottom of all of the manual spirit measures meaning nobody ever got anything like a full tot of a top shelf spirit.
Absolute genius, and although i was professionally appalled by such chicanery, when I bought new spirit measures, i made sure that they got lost each Xmas...
