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?

Garden wallShortly after my dad passed away, a gang of lads ran up our road and saw fit to push our garden wall over.
Now, it's fairly common that in circumstances like the above, friends and family have a tendency to profer what ever help they can. We were a bit broke and Mum was pleased when one of our neighbours, long standing friends of the family, and renowned stone mason offered to do our garden wall for us.
It took 3 weeks to complete. He used the old bricks from the wall. Where Mum thought it would be nice to have some stone's along the top of the wall, these were taken from the border of the garden, destroying it and strangely, the height of the wall was a lot lower than it was in the first place, but there were no left over bricks to be found. In short the cowboy provided labour and concrete and a crappy looking wall.
He charged Mum £500.
Nice bloke.
One of their daughters, my then best friend, used to discuss my teenage sexploits over their dinner table too, I found out, because her Mum worked with my neighbour at the local off-license and was openly telling her what a slapper I was.
