Man charged $23 quadrillion for a packet of cigarettes

I bought some $15 headphones today, but there was a barcode scanning glitch and the price originally read as around $4000. Droll.

I live in Norway, I get ripped off on a daily basis.

Haha, true! xD

I heard that Norway and Japan are the most expensive countries in the world.

I also heard somewhere that every December is tax free in Norway?

I was walking past this really posh jewellery shop today and their prices are more than anyone who lives here can actually afford., like a necklace in the window was about £17,000. Thing is, it all looks like cheap crap. smurfing rip-offs.

Um... went to a used game store the other day and found Final Fantasy VII buried somewhere. There was no price on it, so I brought it to the counter. I put it back when I found out I was told to drop 300$ for it...

Oh, didn't know that wasn't common elsewhere. The tax is cut in half actually, so we can spend more on christmas presents. Just another way for that evil state of ours to claw the money in. I keep forgetting about it each december and then I'm like woah when I get my paycheck. It's quite fun.

LOL, I have VII and VII on PC but they haven't been touched in ages..namely cause my laptop doesn't support games :P

Sucks to be me cause I really have the urge to play them again!

Well, I'm here to tell you that it's not common elsewhere. At least not in Denmark, m'dear Lev

Also, as if Norway doesn't make enough money as it is.. they just have to find new ways to earn some more money.

Because I am retarded I bought Empire: Total War when it was new. This is retarded for two reasons. First, TW games need patches and often mods to be fixed. Second, the price was extortionate (£40) and waiting a few weeks even would have cut that by 1/4.

While in NYC on a band trip, my group stopped at I think it was a Greek? restaurant where the food was ungodly expensive, and our chaperon offered to buy us lunch. So I ordered Grilled Cheese, assuming it'd be safe. I don't know what the smurf kind of cheese they used but it tasted like , so she got a refund for my order.

I know what you mean.

I paid for a full years tv license and got 11 months because it turns out I did it at the wrong time of the month...I was really annoyed at that. I also just moved into a flat and for the first week the estate agents had lost the keys but I still paid the rent for that week. Neither of these two companies have responded to my claims for reimbursement I've had a lot of companies trying to rip me off recently. I need to talk to the council tax people because they're trying to get me to pay council tax for the months I wasn't even living in the flat...not happy.

Hopefully my luck will turn around and people will stop trying to steal my money

Smile and Be happy
