Well, on runescape, need I say more? Also, sold a kid a bike for around $500 more then it was worth. Cracked frame, broken nearly everything else.

in elementary school when I gamed runescape hard I would tell people if they gave me their passwords, I'd give them free shit. The retarded people who fell for it would get all their shit stolen. THIEF MASTER

I was at a bachelorette party, and there were a million girls staying in this one house with two bathrooms. I wait for probably 10+ girls to get ready in the morning before I had a shot at the bathroom, I mean it was cut throat. Finally I got my opportunity. I went in and realized I didn't have a towel. It had one of those door handles with the lock that has a pin hole on the outside- that you can easily unlock with a hanger or a bobby pin.

I decided I would lock the door. Go get a towel, and come back and open it with a bobby pin. I was so pround of myself for being so smart.

Only, when I came back, for some reason, sticking a pin in the door didn't unlock it. Nor did a hanger. I eventually had to get a couple of friends to come help me, but they couldnt get it open either.

Finally this beast of a girl hit it with her shoulder and broke out the door jamb-- I explained what had happened and basically everyone hated me for trying to pull it off. I don't see what the big deal was though-- it was my fucking turn in the bathroom, and if it had gone as planned, would have been great success.

I feel bad but when I was younger (like 12) I use to tell kids I would level them up to 50 in Halo 3, I actually did it once or twice but most of the time I would take their account.

It was finals week and a kid I hated wanted to buy adderall from me.
He was drunk and instead of adderall, I gave him sleeping pills.
Last I heard, he slept through his final and failed the class.
Shit happens.

Halo 3 scams were my shit back in the day. I would tell little kids that I was a game battles ref and I needed to register them to battle and I would just spend all there money I had nearly every game on the 360 when I was like 15 haha.

Told everyone on YouTube that I had tenth prestige lobbies in modern warfare. Then I proceeded to take about a hundred dollars worth of Microsoft points and about 200 dollars worth of iTunes cards... Totally worth it

i "rented" an xbox for a couple of days after my idiot friend forgot to bring the cables to hook it up to the TV.

so we went to Target, bought an Xbox, kept everything in the wrapper, used the cables with our Xbox and 3 days later we returned the whole get up.

ive bought HDMI DVD players just so i can take the HDMI cable out and return the rest.

in HS me and my best friend used to buy candy at the dollar tree after school, put on baseball hates and those 3/4 sleeve baseball shirts and sell the candy door to door saying it was for our baseball team.

this next one im not so proud of anymore but when i was in highschool it was gold. trick or treat for unicef. keep all the money. me and my buddy would each make like $80 every halloween night.

i had a couple surgeries in HS so all my friends always asked for my painkillers. i sold a few of them over the counter allergy medicine and told em it was valium. it was so funny because they would pretend to be all fucked up....the powers of the human brain.

went out drinking. after i was already pretty sauced i guess i opened a tab on my CC. i check my receipt the next morning and its for $250. i call my bank and say its a mistake and only end up paying $50. i was really surprised at how easily i saved myself $200. one phone call and a hand written letter and that was it.

im kinda a piece of shit when it comes to this stuff

Back in elementary school I used to bring in pebbles from the playground. If you put them under your sneakers, it felt like it gave you a little bounce, similar to stepping on a spring. We called them bouncy rocks. Don't know if I ever actually sold any, but I may have planned to haha.

Oh shit i just remembered this.


At a amusement park several years ago, i went to people who worked there, and said "hey, that vending-machine over there just stole my money. I inserted the value it said, but i didnt get my soda. So they gave me the money back from the machine. I then did this many many times and ended up with quite an amount of munney

when i was 12 i got a very shiny penny and put it in an SD card case. i then told my friend that my uncle works at the US mint and gave me this penny because it was one of the first 5 pennies minted that year, and the kid bought it for 10 dollars.

In maybe grade 3 or 4 I photocopied both sides of a Venusaur Pokemon card in black and white, glued them together, then coloured them in with crayons. I traded it to someone in grade 2 or 3 for a Scyther and Hitmonlee or something like that. Still can't believe the idiot fell for it.

Also, when Crazybones were the rage in maybe grade 4 or 5 I made a cast out of one of them using my mums pottery clay then filled it full of hot glue and made my own crazybones. they were soft and bouncy and I think only one dumby fell for them being real.
