Sticking it to the man

Up-n-atom! · 13-01-2011 07:20PM

I've used a 10 journey bus eireann bus ticket for up to 12 journeys because the bus drivers don't always stamp them, esp if they're busy:D I've taken back clothes that I've worn without a receipt and gotten an exchange - my friend was appalled and told me there's no way they would take it back...they did.

I'm not as sticking-it-to-the-man as my mam though. For years I've seen her change the prices on things in shops and put the odd glass etc in her handbag when she's out. We've got a Starbucks mug at home and I'm pretty sure no money was exchanged to get it...

Theres a certain type of coke vending machine wherein theres a shelf with a belt on it which moves to the shelf with the drink on it the drink pops off the shelf moves down/up and the bottle pops out a wee door into a space at the side just below where you put your money in. Im sure many of you are aware of them.

The heist works by holding your hand over the wee door where your drink should come out as the belt tries to push it out, it tries a couple of times, gives up, then gives you your money back and the bottle stays on the moving shelf, next you pick a bottle that will land on tother side of the shelf and when you pay for this one as the belt moves to give you this one out you grab the first one out of the space quickly then the second one will follow as normal and pop out then.

Used it on numerous occasions 2 for the price of 1 everytime, 3s a possibilty id say but tis a risky ould one.

Take that coke ya cúnts!

OK here's a tip.If you ever do get caught in the machine and they call the fire brigade, let go of the can you're holding.

Years ago my Dad, Mam, sister and myself were touring around the UK on holiday.

During the same fortnight my cousin's were staying at some kind of Butlin's holiday camp in Wales for a week or two, so we decided to call in to them for a day; you could pay on the gate of the complex and get a day trippers ticket entitling you to use the facilities for the day.

Anyway we enjoyed the day so much that instead of leaving that evening, as we should of, we said we'd stay the night.

And then we enjoyed the night so much, that instead of leaving in the morning as we definitely should of, we decided we'd stay the week.

Twelve of us in a mobile home for a week in Wales.
Thank you very much Mr Butlin.

The scams where all the family are involved are the best.

Im sure your cousins had a great holiday and loved the fact that there were 12 people crammed into their mobile home of which they were paying for.
