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?

My school is full of cheap imbeciles, evidently.Why, you ask? Well...
Let me tell you some of the crazy things we spend our money on. Then, think as to whether or not the choices as to where my school spends taxpayers' money is absolutely bonkers.
SCHOOL BUILDING: $5.9 million (flooring, etc. included)
LOCKERS: $300,000 (too bad the 'tards bought the WRONG ONES--WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE FULL LOCKERS, NOT THE SHODDY TOP OR BOTTOM ONES!!! Go figure; this year I've got a bottom one... ::hates locker:: And NO, they didn't send the wrong lockers back; they just decided to keep them)
FOOTBALL STADIUM: $280,000 (it sucks anyways, and so does our football team... why I still root for them I'll never know)
FENCING AROUND FOOTBALL STADIUM: $100,000 (What the crap?!?!?!? People can still hop over it anyways--kinda reminds me of our national border with Mexico... lawlz...)
NEW CHEERLEADERS' UNIFORMS FOR 2006 - 2007 SCHOOLYEAR: $5,000 (No comment--would get too irate if I tried to justify that huge expense for a pretend sport {no offense if any of you were/are cheerleaders; our school's cheerleaders just sit around and do things like not eat, so I think they don't deserve any new uniforms})
NEW FOOTBALL PLAYERS' UNIFORMS FOR 2006 - 2007 SCHOOLYEAR: $20,000 (Our football season sucked. However, we sure did look suave, even while we sucked!)
ALSO...
Our school lunch menu is all a la carte--we don't get government funding because we have soda (and crappy soda at that). Therefore, our prices are gigundously inflated, like:
SODA: 75 cents a cup
CROISSANT SANDWICH: $1.50 each
FRENCH FRIES: 75 cents a bag
NACHOS: $1.25 (cheese is an extra 25 cents, if you can believe that)
Food may or may not be fresh; do a sniff-check before buying the overpriced item(s) and you should be fine.
That's all; sorry I don't know the UK conversions for the money. If you live in the US, you'll understand just how much they're milking me of my last pennies.
