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?

FlakePicture this day from my childhood: it's a sweltering hot day and my brother and I are playing in the yard. Needless to say, it's a very welcome relief when an ice-cream truck drives up and promptly parks across the street from us. I'm six, my brother's four, it's fucking hot: we want ice cream. After some begging, my mum gets her wallet out, but the smallest note she can find is a $20. Oh well, surely the ice cream man can make change. She gives us the note and we run across the street to the van.
I don't like anything on the menu, but my brother wants an ice lolly. How much? "One dollar."
My brother hands the driver the twenty my mum had given him. "Thanks," says the man, and promptly drives away, ripping a four-year-old off for nineteen dollars.
Bastard.
