I say good job on getting one over on the system.

These big corporations, retail chains, and banks are always screwing us over with inflated prices and hidden fees that I say if you ever have some good luck and can get something for free, you should take it and not even look back.

This is what I do anytime someone gives me extra change, or an extra order of french fries or whatever on accident. It's just karma's way of even things out.


Thanks for seeing it the way I do, I have kept an eye on some people on this thread that'll I'll forever see as arrogant. Put it this way people, last year I had my laptop computer stolen, it was one week old, and two months later $1000 stolen from a dodgy corporation that promised me a loan, then my portable DVD player was robbed from my old flat mate plus a heap of PS2 games, later that year at TAFE my wallet was stolen and I lost $120. And when some good luck finally swings my way you stuburn people turn around and call me a bad person.


 It might be too early to call it good luck as there is a very high probability you will be asked for the money back and will have no choice but to pay it.  A somewhat similar thing happened to be a few months ago.  I went to buy a Toshiba HD-E1 but when they went into the store room they brought back a HD-XE1 which was about £250 more expensive.  I got home, unpacked it set it up and used it for about a week.  Then I got a call from the store saying they noticed the error when they were doing their inventory check.  So much to my disappointment they came and picked up the player and gave me the cheaper one.  I have gotten away with something like that once though.  When I was buying my gamecube I got a bundle with four games.  Got home and found out they had given me five.  I even had the cheek to exchange the game they gave me in error for a game I actually wanted.  They puzzled over why the game I was exchanging wasn't on my receipt and I said they must have made an error when printing the receipt since all the games were the same price.  I know I should have felt guilty but I really didn't.  I have had enough experience of businesses trying to shit on their customers to feel bad about them losing a small amount due to their own mistake.
