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?

Rules of being ripped off:You have been ripped off when you have paid for something which clearly is isn't e.g the watch you got in Tenerife is unlikely to be a Tag Heuer.
You have not been ripped off when:
What you've paid for is exactly what it's supposed to be but you don't have a clue how to use it or
What you've paid for is exactly what it's supposed to be but you failed to ask the right questions or
What you've paid for is exactly what it's supposed to be but you never read the instructions / conditions / limitations.
In short, the fact that you've been stupid enough to pay out for something you can't use is not my fault and it doesn't matter how many times you ask the same question, threaten to call Trading Standards (or Trade And Standards - sheesh), write to_______* (*insert publication of your choice that you picked at random as you collected your 'usual magazine' from the newsagents), phone local radio / Watchdog etc you will never be able to absolve the fact that the two miracles that brought you into this world (those being that you beat the other 5m sperm and mustered sufficient effort to find your way out 9 months later) are not enough and at some point you will need to admit you are stupid.
