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?

Toilet Paper Rip-offI hate shopping and even more I hate Makros, but sheet for sheet they have the best offers on loo rolls. Trouble is, they play this stupid marketing game the other supermarkets play to entice you to buy a particular brand. So off I go to said Makros, this time with a calculator. There were 6 brands on offer at varied pricing. One brand had a buy one get one free, 48 rolls for £7.49. Or you could get 36 rolls for a fiver on another brand. Unfortunately the answer is to look at the packets to see how many sheets they have on a roll, and also the quality bearing in mind you scrape your arse a few times a week. I did some calculations and went for the best deal.
I also got asked by the staff what I was doing as I looked like a store analyst. Much to my surprise I was also told by a shelf stacker (I wasn't sure if it was male or female) that coloured toilet paper gives you thrush.
Just thought I'd pass on the info. Not literally though :-0
