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?

Turkey in TurkeyOn holiday to Turkey my hapless father ended up paying the equivalent of £17 in Turkish Lira for some raw Turkey and a bottle of Coke. The trick is the shopkeeper pretends they can't speak English, so they type out the price on a calculator and show you the display.
They assume you cough up. However, should you point out that the decimal place seems to be a digit further right than it should be they say "Oh, sorry sorry sorry, here, please." and show you the ACTUAL price.
Fucking rip-off merchants praying on tourists!
Also at Reading festival I ended up paying £7 for a plate of noodles and a bottle of Fanta.
Disgruntled, I went to get myself a Mr. Whippy.
The bloke asked me for £3.50 for ONE Mr. Whippy sans-flake.
I told him to shove his Whippy up his expleative.
