A bit off-topic, but the parking lot guys reminded me of this.

Many years ago when I was at Uni I went on a roadie to NYC to stay with a buddy who was a intern slave at Solomon Bros.

We were talking about how some of the dudes in his office commute from outside of Manhattan. Back then, parking near his office was like $60 a day.

There also was a quick lube joint a couple blocks away from the office that charged $29 for an oil change. One of the guys took his car there every morning and got a daily oil change. Boom $29 dollar/day parking.

Never used the calculator cheating thing myself because it wasn't necessary, but I was aware of people that did and that it could be done.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm pretty sure a girl did it this last semester in a law school class I took (Law and Accounting) that had some extremely basic math. Mid-semester she switched from a 10-key to a TI-86, and there was no real reason to do so. We never covered material that a simple 10-key/4-function calculator couldn't handle, so I don't really see the point in switching to a more complicated calculator when you are as demonstrably non-math savvy as she was shown to be when questioned in class, if not to use to use this old cheating technique.

Man, I don't even know what to think about Adam's story. That is some crazy outside the box thinking I wouldn't even consider.

thats expert yeota

i salute you


lol missouri

in high school i bought an external keyboard for my calculator because it took too long to type that stuff on a ti-83.

this is probably way I can barely add and subtract

i knew it would be before post 100 before someone would come in here on their ****ing high horse whining about theft like they've never stolen anything in their lives

there's a difference between robbing a bank, breaking into a car, stealing an old person's retirement money, whatever, and stupid petty **** that's discussed here

if you can't discern the difference or are going to pretend you've never nabbed 5$ out of your sister's piggy bank when you were a kid, go ahead, but don't tard this thread up. ofc most of the things described here are going to be theft, what scam isn't? What possible day-to-day petty scam can you think of that isn't some form of theft?

this place never ceases to amaze me.

Speaking of graphing calculators, what's up with this scam?

not a scam but a way to save money if you smoke cigarettes and are broke - take some quarters and go walk around for an hour asking people if you can buy a smoke off them. just be like "hey sorry to bug ya, think i can grab a smoke? i got 75 cents on me". you'll get the smoke if you offer the change way more often than just trying to bum smokes for free, and they'll usually not even accept the change. sometimes people will even think you're a desperate crackhead and give you a few.

For a forum that has been pretty ripe with scams lately, starting a thread describing good ways to scam others without getting caught definitely bothers me.

My cousin and I used to work in a banana stand. Whenever a customer would buy a frozen banana, we would just pocket the money. To make sure my dad didn't find out about it, we would always throw an extra banana away, since he would count how many bananas were left at the end of the day.

wat

There's always money in the banana stand.

in HS a few of us went to the college bookstore near our school and sold our calc and spanish textbooks. then we went back to school the next day and told sob stories of getting our bookbags stolen and got new sets. think we all came out about 40 bucks ahead.

I love scamming friends who are casual sports fans with sports bets of different odds. For example, for this past Super Bowl I bet a couple friends that Giants get the ball first for even money. This bet was actually around -180 odds and pretty much a lock for me, considering the Patriots always defer if they win the coin toss.

^^^ lol

I have a friend who scammed me a few times at dinner

1.) 3 friends go out for dinner
2.) 2 friends pay with cash
3.) 3rd friend (scammers) says “I’ll pay whatever is left because I only have a card.


First 2 friends that pay with cash over pay their portion by 2-3 to cover tip
Scamming friend just leave 1 dollar tip.

So if bill is $45.
Friend one pays 18
Friend 2 pays 18
And scamming friend will pay 45-18-18= 9 plus a 1 or 2 dollar tip.

cliffs. I pay 18. Friend 2 pays 18. Scammer pays 10-11
