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?

Tim Bisley's post reminds meYears ago (90's) I came second in the NFL competition on Channel 4. Prize was a years subscription to "Touchdown" magazine (it had just been re-launched) and an NFL Coaching Jacket in my team colours. So I phone the number and the lady asks what team I want
K "Tampa Bay please"
Woman "Who ?"
K "Tampa Bay Buccaneers"
Woman "We can do Dallas, Washington, Miami, Philadelphia and Green Bay"
K "But it says MY team - Im a proper fan" (trust me, you had to be hard core to be a Buccs fan in the early 90's)
Woman "Yeah, thats all we offer".
So I had Dallas. And the Magazine went tits up after 1 issue - woo and indeed yay.
