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?

Baby wipes ripped off
Was in local supermarket (sounds like Mazda) the other day and was buying baby wipes.
Getting the multi-pack rather than single ones (having a 14month old you tend to get through quite a few), I went to the self-scan till to pay for them along with a few other bits.
Once there, realised that rather than scanning the barcode off the side of the multi-pack, i could scan the barcode off the bottom packet of wipes (the multi-pack bag is mainly transparent) and just get charged for 1 packet of wipes rather than 4. Quickly proceed to do not bag this object to stop the system crying about the weight not being correct and continue. Repeated 4 or 5 times already with no problems so far. If anybody pulls me, I have my "sorry, I didnt realise it only scanned in a single pack" story all ready.
Cheers (another alleged rip off for you)
