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?

The Stetson BrothersThis story was relayed by a mate:
My pal Iain had the use of a Vauxhall Carlton company car and took it to a local garage to sort out a dodgy alternator. Anyway, local garage (in Shrub End, Colchester with the letters O, T & M in it's name) fits a replacement. Iain drives away, but shortly afterward the alternator falls out of the car, necessitating a tow back to get it replaced. One of the "mechanics" had simply not bothered to tighten the bolts holding it in place.
The first time this happened might be put down to bad luck, but it happened twice. One of Iain's colleagues had random bits fall off his car after it had been there and an unlucky VW camper had an engine literally fall out after it had been in the care of this particular establishment.
The two chaps responsible for the operation cultivated such a reputation for cowboyism that they're locally known as the "Stetson Brothers".
