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?

I hate rip offsSo when the garage tried to charge me something like £250 for changing a part that I knew only cost unde £50 and would take them an hour at most, warning bells rang. So I rang my dad and he rang them and told them to do it at actual cost price. I was always taking my car in there as well so shame on them for trying to rip me off. Although the garage man did have the grace to look a bit ashamed... and gave me a lovely courtesy car the next time I was in, I am not even sure he had to do that.
Oh, and I have been known to go and bring my own car parts for fixing my car to get it through the MOT (rather than the extortionate parts provided by garage).
Not bad for a girly.
