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?

Armed RobberyYears ago, went to the local sporting goods dealer to purchase a pistol (because i'm a bad-ass!) Told the salesperson i was happy with a particular model, and he wrote up a receipt for me to take to the front register. I'm standing at the check-out with a handful of cash; the girl dutifully rings up the item as written and asks for X dollars. I pass her the requested amount, puzzled by the fist full of cash I still have. As I return the receipt to the salesman, i examine the paperwork ... in longhand the gentleman had marked down the correct prices but made a $300 error in the total. Being that there is a 14 day waiting period before i can actually pick up my new toy, i pocket the cash with the intent that if they can discover the discrepancy in 2 weeks I'll fork over my assumed windfall -- but 2 weeks later I've got the gun AND the money!
stick 'em up!
