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?

Pirate cabA few years ago after a heavy night out, my mate and I were becoming increasingly desperate in obtaining a taxi home. Finally a car pulled up and my very drunk mate piles in and despite my protestations refuses to get out, "It's not a real taxi, it's a pirate cab!" I repeatedly shout, "Nah it's not, it'll be fine (it was a three door Ford Escort with no mini cab markings for Gods sake). Anwyay, I decided to get in just to ensure he gets home ok. Cue a journey of me haggling with the driver over price and route with no back up from mate who'd fallen asleep in the back. In the end I order him to stop miles away from home as he won't go on roads he doesn't know. He tries to charge us / rip us off £25 for his "service" to which I strongly disagree as a black cab to my front door would have cost £15. I wake my mate and we give him about £20 and in the process of getting out my mate finally adds his opinion to the proceedings be depositing a thick pile of porridge like vomit on the back seat. The driver screams and shouts and goes to drive off, at which point I shout, "You forgot your tip, clean out the back of your car!"
