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 ripped off British GasLast September was seriously short of pennies and with the expectation of our new baby landing at Xmas, decided a 2nd job was needed. Filled in the application forms for Centrica (they do all the British Gas call centre stuff) and was accepted there.
After the first week, I realised it wasn't going to work. Finishing my normal day job at 5.00pm to then have to work there from 6.00 until 10.00pm was killing me.
I would have just walked straight away, if it wasn't for the fact that the first 4 weeks are all training.
I knew that I would never need the training as I had no intention of working there, so managed to bypass their proxy system and spent 4 hours each night surfing the net getting paid (albeit not very much) for it.
When it came to the end of the training, I simply told them that it wasn't for me and thanks for the last 4 weeks.
Cheers
