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 had some quite expensive gates made.
They were lovely, and I was very pleased, so when the bloke who made them asked if I was getting rid of my trailer I was soft enough to promise it to him.
But then, he flatly refused to take the old wooden gates away, as I'd expected.
I was not pleased as they would be hard for me to get rid of - they were each 7' high and 3'6" wide.
Then I remembered the sledgehammer in the shed. It took me about an hour to smash them to bits, pile them in the car, drop them off at the tip and return for a brew.
In the meantime, Gate Man had been getting an earbashing off Mrs Gate Man, as I was obviously not parting with the trailer now.
Not sure who got ripped off here, but my new gates are nice.
