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?

RoverI used to drive a Rover. Ok, stop laughing at the back!
When I bought it (which is another tail in naivety and being ripped off) I only got one set of keys. The alarm blipper thing looked a bit dodgy and started to go wrong so I rang the local Rover garage. No problem, a new one was only about 30 quid. So I took the car down there as they needed it to reprogram something or other. Later in the day I got a call to say it was ready. I turned up to be presented with a bill for almost £200! It had taken them 2 HOURS at £70 to program the key fob!!!
Ok, I needed the car, and the keys so I didn't have a choice. So, a few weeks later my car needs a service. Like a complete spaz I went back to the SAME garage and got stiffed again - this time about £500 for a service, "though we won't charge you for the washer fluid". Thanks.
I no longer own a Rover. In fact, they went bust the day of my 30th birthday!
