Lucky Bastage

I bet some one caught hell over THIS little mistake.

OMG! :Q

I could only be so lucky.

Once, a long time ago, I paid for a 32mb stick of ram, and they gave me a 64. That was cool.

I bet that happened/happens quite a bit.. It's easy to get them mixed up, especially if they don't have the sticker on them.

well, I guess the new guy ain't the new guys anymore.

 

[Psycho18]

omg, no fair. I NEED DDR!!

Am i the only guy that would have returned it (and i have a criminal record as well)? That guy will no doubt get fired for a mistake on his first day, and the person more or less stole that money out of somebody elses pockets. PC hardware profits by a very small margin, so losing that many sticks is losing a lot of money.

Ha!!
"Ran like almighty hell"

I got a $39.99 table for $9.99 once. Went to Office Depot, got one of those foldable card tables. Price maked was $39.99. I go to the checkout counter with the ticket, it rings up 9.99. I casually ask if that is the right price. The cashier with a "I don't give a shiat" attitude told me "yes". I walked out happily!

No, I probably would have cut the guy a break as well.

Still....

One can DREAM.

No you aren't the only one. I have had people at Wendy's almost not charge me for my order until I held the money out. He thanked me for being honest, but then commented that he realized that I hadn't paid yet and was just about to ask.

I would feel sorry for that employee.

Once I bought a single speaker from CC and when I got home there were two in the box

 

[yoda291]

one time, this guy in a white van came up to me with some speakers that he had to get rid of man...score!

 

[Jmmsbnd007]

Oldie but goodie.

 

[Dacalo]

when CC had the deal on gamecube last december, the sales associate gave me a Mario Bundle GC instead of regular, so I told him he is giving me the wrong one in good faith.

i didnt want him lose his job over silly little mistake (if he deserved to be fired is another story)

Don't even get me started about getting lucky. I once scored a $1000 speaker for only $450. Yep, guy over bought and didn't want to return them. Mighty good deal. I still laugh at that sucker.

weird -- that happened to me too! i didn't take the speakers because it looked way too shady, i didn't wanna have to deal with crap later on if they were stolen and somehow i was linked (yes, i'm paranoid)..

Yeah you guys laugh it up....

I actually FELL for that little scam back in the 70's early 80's.
They been at it THAT long.

Actually I didn't need the speakers, so I set up a friend of mine with the deal.

If he was still alive, he would probably be pissed!
