Sold a complete piece of shit hunk of junk computer to a Co-worker and told her that it was very high end.  

 

I put this fuking thing together for like $300 and threw a Blue Neon fan on it so it looked cool and she bought it from me for $600. 

 

I don't know if that's a scam, but it was +EV.

Oh yeah 

I forgot about this one.... 

 

We were like 10-11 years old me and a neighbor friend, it was winter, and we decided to walk around door to door "Collecting money for the winter olympics".. 

 

Fuking old ladies were giving us $20 bills, we ended up with just over $200.    The next day we went out and did it again and got like $40, and then we hit this house and the guy was like do you have any paperwork to prove that this is who you're collecting for? And we got caught off guard, freaked out,  and said we would come back with the papers.  

 

We went home and played SNES.   Never did it again.

Always funny when you look back at being a kid and how easily you got freaked out when you were doing something stupid.

LOL Drywall? Damn. That's rough.

 

Caffeine Powder is a great idea. Too bad I didn't have that at my disposal in those days. Those kids would've been really hopped up and thinking they were buying great shit.

Used to be able to go get it at gnc for 30 bucks. Crush up a little aspirin in it so it was a little rocky. And it would burn a little. Guys would still get that jittery feeling. Told them it was good shit and they would feen for it.

 

Then gnc changed it to a brown powder.

 

Also used to cut the Coke with it too. Had a guy in his 50s that would buy it from me every day.

You guys remember Pogs?  You were supposed to play using a Slammer, but I convinced neighborhood kids to play with poker cards.  We'd play high card wins... and I'd do a shuffle trick here and there to wind up ahead.  I'd then sell them back their Pogs.  Man, I was a mini Brock Landers back in those days, now that I think about it.  JFC

I have a pog collection of over 17,000 custom pogs. Each individually indexed and tabulated. The collection started over 17 years ago when I was in 6th grade and grew rapidly as my Golden Jesus Slammer crushed kykes on impact. There were many times that I seized fellow classmate’s entire collection of pogs because of the devastating aftermath left by my Golden Jesus Slammer. It was a one of a kind piece that my father forged out of lead in the basement. Once I was of the appropriate age to handle pogs, he gifted me the Golden Jesus Slammer. Since I have so many years of pogging experience I have learned to give back to others with advice on gameplay, collecting, trivia, and many other topics. When I entered my first pogging tournament back in 1996 I received a standing ovation when my Golden Jesus Slammer flipped a stack of 43 pogs, which at the time was the standing world record for pogging. Let me just say I was the best. At that time there were no other competitors even close to my caliber of skill.

I'm not going to lie. When I was 14 to about age 19, I scammed the fuck out of those CD Music Clubs. You know, the Buy-One-Get-11-CDs-Free crap. I probably used like eight different names in those 5 years. Feel kinda bad about it now that I look back, but the record companies were also out of their minds back then...

i did one better... living in an apartment i ordered a batch with fake name and different apt #... then kept checking mail (packages were stupidly left in common area if they didn't fit in box) and grabbed the 10 cd's.

 

could've probably done that 20 times, but like you said as a kid i thought i would get caught. and felt guilty

In college I worked at a gym that charged way too much for memberships and had a low-life general manager getting huge commission checks for sign-ups. They charged like $6 for Naked Juice.

 

Me and my buddy ran the place at night and would talk to the Naked Juice rep when he'd come in late Tuesday nights or whatever to restock our cooler, and we asked him if we get a refund or how it works if they expire and we can't sell them anymore. They have like a month shelf-life. Naked Juice rep said they wouldn't take them back. We knew the gym wouldn't sell them if they were expired and the manager would just throw them away rather than let somebody get a product for free.

 

So each night our last "self-assigned" job after the register and locking doors, etc. we'd take the ones that had been in there the longest and put them at the back of the cooler so that at least a couple would be "expired" every time we worked and we therefore couldn't sell them because it was against health code. So long as we didn't sell like 10 of any particular flavor in a week's time when it would get fully restocked by the rep, we had Naked Juice for free.

 

Usually worked like 4 nights a week and we each had two of them; one for the shift to enjoy, and one to take home for the next day. It was fantastic and I still kind of crave them when I walk by them in a store but I can't bring myself to pay $4 for one after I had them for free for so long.

 

Fuck that gym.
