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?

trendy bar in east end of london...firstly, the whole troop of us (about ten) are shoved to the back.
secondly, the waiter shouts at me for leaning on the edge of a sofa, rahter than just saying 'excuse me'. He quite literally *SCREAMED*. I asked him to just be a little more polite, all with a smile, trying to calm him down.
thirdly, after taking a position standing with my boyfriend and friend, said waiter walks past, turns to me and says "bitch".
fourthly, i go over and ask the birthday girl, whose 'do' it is, NOT to tip him. She eventually gets out of me why. Her scary eastern-european boyfriend corners him, asking him in freaky bouncer-tones to be 'courteous and polite' at all times.
lastly, after all this drama, we get the bill for our drinks. The round for myself, my boyfriend and our friend alone, which consisted of 2 nasty beers and a tepid cranberry juice...
£40.
I've lived in London my whole life, and can honestly say I have never been so ripped off in my whole life.
