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?

Ribbed offHaving recently started seeing a new lady, I decided to invest in a box of protective sheaths. Knowing how expensive they are from high street pharmacies, I did a little research and made a bargain purchase online.
However, upon informing new lady of aforementioned new purchase, she tells me that she's allergic to latex. I check the new purchase and of course, they contain latex. So I emailed the online retailer to enquire whether it would be possible to exchange my prophylactics for non latex ones due to allergy issues having clearly stated, and I quote "The box is still sealed and in excellent condition".
The reply? (Again quoted) "Sorry we don’t accept returns as they are a total loss, We can’t re-sell second hand condoms". Second hand?! It's not a bloody Geronimo I've used and washed out, rolled back up and popped back in the wrapper then carefully resealed the foil! What a cretin!
Anyway, I decided you can't argue with a person that uses such logictupid as that and took the £7.50 loss.
So what to do with a 12 pack of johnnies I can't use? That said, my mate's getting married next month and his request for wedding presents was "Something for the honeymoon"......
