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?

I may get fired nowI happen to work for a certain high street company that is always found next door to Woolworths, not mentioning any names. They've been a bit financially unstable of late which seems to have been passed on to their paying customers and hardworking staff.
For example:
Staff discount is a measly 12.5%. And we're not allowed it on purchases over £50.
They kept me on trainee wage (£4.20/hr) for a YEAR.
When I worked the midnight shift selling Harry Potter, they paid a measly time and a third, because they were too stingy for time and a half.
Our Christmas party one year was a can of red bull each.
Everything is overpriced. Chocolate is about 50p a bar, drinks are all over £1 and don't even talk about the cigarette prices.
It will cost you between £15 and £25 to buy five greetings cards.
The other week when the snow somehow stopped most of the papers and/or supplements being delivered we were charging full weekend prices for what was effectively a weekday paper.
I could go on, but... /length blog.
