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?

PetrolWent to Bovington Tank museum last year (well worth it if you like tanks) and on the way back I was getting really low on diesel - fuel warning light is on. Trundling along country lanes, dont know the area and we see a sign "Local Services" and an arrow. So I follow it and on entering a little village theres a garage/workshop thing and fuel is about £1.10 a litre (national average was about 90p a litre at the time. I pull up, no one appears so I shout whereupon some old fart appears and says "Gimme time, I cant be everywhere at once". So after this warm welcome I ask, through gritted teeth, for £20 worth of diesel (figuring that will get me somewhere with a reasonable price fuel supply) , despising the money grabbing twunt with every whirr of the pump. He finishes, I begrudgingly give him £20 and drive off...and round the corner is an ESSO.
Bitter ? ALWAYS.
