It explains itself.
Have you bougtht the Brooklyn Bridge?
Have you paid thousands of dollars for a painting which turns out is a copy done by Mable Haffapunch?
Perhaps you gave your seat to someone who couldn’t see well, only it turns out they don’t even have a ticket?
Have you bought counterfeit tickets from a scalper?
Dig deep, give until it hurts, and tell your best stories of being sold a load of crap.

My husband told me to get rid of Kaepernick and pick up Kirk Cousins. I listened and started Cousins last night.

I bought a 200 disc CD changer, and it didn’t come, didn’t come, didn’t come. I was calling an berating the company regularly. Then one day it finally arrived. A few days later, it arrived again. I left it crated, sure they would re-call the repeat. Nope. About a year later I sold it to a buddy for $100.
I bought a flat screen computer monitor on eBay when the were really expensive. The seller had, like, 250 of them. Come to find out, they owned zero, and were trying to get enough cash selling them on eBay to make the purchase. I thought I was done, but one day eBay froze their account and refunded 100%.
My education from grade 2 on word to university.
When I was 15 one of my classmates sold some bags of black sesame powder. That powder, as she advertised, acted as a “skin whitening substance” that would improve skin quality. I believed her and became one of the first ones to buy from her for a pretty high price. I was so fond of the bag that when I came back home I showed in right away to my parents. To my surprised when I gave them the bag, my mom showed me another black sesame powder bag. This bag was bigger and had the manufacturer clearly printed on it. My bag was just a plastic bag with a small paper written “black sesame powder”. She also said that she bought it with a lower price than me. Only after that did I know I had been conned.
A guy at a place I worked at once told me a story about him and some other guy playing pool in a bar for money. At one point, the other guy said “Tell you what; I’ll bet you I can put this cue ball in my mouth.” “Well,” my co-worker told me, “that was a bet I had to take because everybody who has ever played pool knows how big a cue ball really is.” So the guy picks up the cue ball, holds it to his mouth, but the ball is just a little too big to go in. He holds the ball there against his teeth, walks over to the wall and thumps his head to the wall, ball first, and in it goes! Holy crap!
Upon hearing this tale and it’s result, (and having played some pool in my day,) I was just as astounded as my co-worker seemed to be.
I had swallowed the story hook, line and sinker!
Then I made the fatal mistake; I asked the forbidden question…
“How did he get it out?”
“Stuck a cue stick up his ass!”

I can’t think of anything I’ve bought that I’ve felt ripped off or misled by.
I remember my dad having this book in a box on top of his wardrobe. I asked him about it and he said it was ‘his white elephant’ book. I was intrigued. I was only little at the time and I had no idea what a white elephant book was. One day I asked him if I could read his elephant book and he had no idea what I was talking about. So I showed him the box and he laughed. It was apparently a speed reading course. My brother was dyslexic and someone had sold it to my dad with the promise that it would help my brother to improve his reading skills. Of course that’s not what it was designed to do and it didn’t help at all and so my dad called it his ‘white elephant book’. Apparently it cost him a lot of money.
I bought my first e-cig kit when they were new out. I had never seen or heard of them before. I paid £54 for that kit. Now i could get the same for £25.
About 20 years ago I paid someone about $200 to clean our furnace vents. I thought that meant they were going to actually clean each line out all the way to the furnace. All they did was remove the grate and stick a vacuum hose in there as far as their hand reached. They were crooks.
Did anyone really believe e cigs could stand in for smoking proper?
apple
no, wait, i always knew they were shit

We were building a new home in 2001. The builder was asking us what brand of a/c we wanted . We were undecided and he said, “I have a York a/c unit I can sell you cheap.” We bought the York. The a/c part was fine but in the winter it had, and I am not exaggerating, two feet of solid ice stacked on top of it. We drove around the neighborhood and not one other person had this situation. When a contractor says he ” has a ….. he can get for you” be wary . Be very wary. http://www.furnacecompare.com/air-conditioners/york/reviews/
That mankind came from some primordial ooze eons ago but I was not duped for long.
@Hypocrisy_Central You can’t believe that mankind evolved from primordial ooze? Where do you suppose he “popped in” from??
he is a creationist. he believes that man was formed from mud and that woman was made from that man’s rib
Mud, primordial ooze, I’m teetering here. Is there muck difference? Is there any difference? Is there an ooze expert here who can define for me the difference?
primordial ooze = critter potential soup = one cell organism
mud = God’s Silly Putty = Adam
All I got, here.
God’s Silly Putty is way smarter than man’s primordial ooze, I’ll take that ANY DAY.
@ibstubro – I don’t understand the connection.
