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?

I own a hotel in Australia,
and one of our biggest sellers, is the famous Bundaberg Rum. We have a drive through bottlo, but with heaps of thieving black fella's around, any displays we have, eg:Bundy Rum, has to be dummy bottles full of tea.
Anyway, I put on this new barmaid, sexy as hell, brunette with massive.. err.. eyes.....
she was quite bright, and a hit with the locals obviously. A real top chick behind a bar even if she was just moonlighting from her dayjob.
We had a really busy Friday night, with almost every bloke in the place falling in love with this chesty barmaid.
One group of punters, were stuck into the Bundy, and with an empty bottle at the bar, Big Eyes, ducked out to the bottlo to gab another bottle of rum.. as innocently as one would.
So the mentioned group, kept up with downing rum like no tomorrow! And loving it!
After a couple of hours, I had to pull them up, and put them on the water, they were just getting a bit too rowdy.
Anyway, we closed up, and during cleaning up that night, I found the empty bottle Big Eyes had been serving these gentleman with, empty on the bar. These were marked of course (barcode taken off) So after several questions of how this bottle had gotten there, and empty, found out the truth!
Awesome, I'd made about $200 off these blokes, drinking tea!
It just amazed me how they actually continued to get drunk off drinking a placebo!!!
They've been in since, and I've certainly more than made up for the mistake, gave them a tab for an evening, and being good blokes, they were quite understanding..
Big, um, Eyes though you ask??
Of COURSE she still has her job!
Nicer to look at than the missus!!
