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?

Since it's been mentioned recently, let me stick my oar in against rail prices.
Went from A to B with a couple of other b3tans. Total distance: 44 miles (which will probably give you an idea of the exact journey). I was charged sixteen quid - far in excess of the eco-guzzling charge I'd have incurred had I taken my car.
My companions were somewhat less honest, and decided to buy a ticket on the train - IF the guard turned up. Sure enough, he did.
Price for the pair of 'em, on the exact same ticket, without any railcard or discount shenanigans - fifteen quid.
Guess who'll be chancing it on the next excursion?
