Ripped Off
A 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?

Even the air wasn't free …
I took the other half to Venice for a bit of romance.
We sat at a table in St Mark's Square and I had a coffee and she had a tea. It was quite pleasant and even the amateurish string quartet that was scraping away in front of another cafe didn't spoil the mood.
The bill for 18 euros, however, did.
€5 for 1 cup of coffee
€5 for 1 cup of tea
€5 for the live music
€3 for service at 20%
So, not only did they charge me for having to listen to music that I couldn't avoid listening to even though I didn't want to hear it and that seemingly had nothing to do with the cafe in the first place, they also charged me service on top!
