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?

CookiesI sold cookies at my school, exclusively to my class (because I couldn't be bothered to market them around school). I sold them at 30p a cookie, which was the same price as the cafe in the school, but mine were better/a shorter walk. Seems fair? Well, I was making 200% profit (20p of that 30p was pure money for me), and in 10 weeks, made 250 quid out of roughly 15 people, and each day was taking home 4 quid profit.
But that makes me think: How much money must bloody Starbucks be making at 1 quid a cookie? (a cookie with ingredients at trade price). Or Caffe Nero at 2.40 for a slice of cheesecake, with 16 slices in it, that costs about 10 quid (or less) to make and package?
We're all being swindled, make your own cheesecake and cookies! (Or buy them from me)
Bloody corporations and monopolies (even though I was one)
PS: I have shares in British Gas, Centrica and National Grid, does that make me evil? I'm quite happy since they just gave me a 14 pound dividend.
