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?

Bahamas grassI was in the Bahamas with my brother back in '91. We were young lads, naive and pissed after a night drinking some kind of thick licorice stuff with the locals at the "Winston Churchill" pub.
There we were, walking back to our hotel when this car pulls over and a voice from within says "want something to smoke boys?"
This sounded like a capital idea, so we said yes and were invited to hop into the car. The very friendly gentleman driver even offered to drop us back to our hotel. What a nice chap.
To cut a long story short he then proceeded to drive us miles out of our way (the hotel was only a few blocks from where he'd picked us up) and then on handing over a small paper package asked us for $10 for petrol! We paid up, glad to get away from him, got into our room, opened the package, and discovered a handful of grass from the roadside.
What a bastard. Still, served us right really.
