"55 cent rides on the DC metro: Buy 2 farecards designate one "home" and one "work". go in at home station and "use" both. one in each hand, the one you use for the right hand will operate your turnstile while the left hand one will operate the turnstile to your left. it will wait for someone to walk through it but you don't care, you're long gone. ride to work station. exit using only "work" card. cost 2.70 work, play angry birds, surf web, lunch, work, hate on boss, discuss tv shows with coworkers, work etc. leave work and enter work metrostation using "work" card. ride to home station. exit using "home" card. cost: 55 cents. eat. sleep. fuck. etc. enter using "home" card. exit using "work" card. cost: 55 cents. repeat. each card is only going in and out the same station and getting charged a minimum. not sure if this works anymore. and im pretty sure the minimum has been raised up to like a dollar or more.

"Back in the day, there used to be companies that would advertise on the backs of comic books and stuff. Essentially, you were supposed to go door-to-door selling stationery to your neighbors and had a choice for your "commision," two dollars or two points. The points were redeemable for prizes, like Gameboys, walkmans, even bikes and shit. Well I was a greedy little kid, so I would give a two dollar surcharge for "post processing." I swear you to, that's what I called it. Then, when I filled the orders I was able to claim the points for prizes. It was fantastic. Also, I would do orders per street. So when the stuff was back at my house, I'd ride my bike to every customer's mailbox and leave a note to call my house for delivery. Most times, I'd even get a tip out of the deal. tl dr - surcharged neighbors so I could double dip for toys. "

My Nan and Grandad owned a pub when me and my two cousins were younger, and us kids used to do all sorts to scam the customers. When I was about five, I moulded a piece of white blu-tack into the shape of a tooth then went around the pub saying I'd lost it. Got about PS20 that day. My youngest cousin, Kiera, is amazing at poker too. She'd play people at the age of roughly eight and always won. People would only bet 50p's, but still, That shit was big money back then.

"In a similar vein, I once krazy-glued a string to a quarter and put it into a pinball machine. My plan was to put it in, then take it out. Etc. Well, it got stuck in there, but as I pulled on the string to get it out, it kept registering as another quarter so in like a minute, I had about 30 games racked up. Didn't get the quarter back, but achieved the objective all the same. When I was 17, I had a job at a place that sold large quantities of cheap Chinese watches and clocks and whatnot. When the boss found a defective item, he'd toss it into a big trash bin. He told me I could take anything from that bin, so I started assembling working items from several non-working ones. Like, one watch worked but the band was broken, and another didn't work, but the band was intact. I made a small fortune selling these "refurbs" to my friends at school. "

Sold pizza store coupons for a school fund raiser. Said 5 dollars on the front. Took stickers of pizza slices, covered up the 5 and sold that shit for 10 bucks. Profit of 5bucks in my pocket.

At 15 years old, my friend and I would wait for his (single parent) father to head out on the town with his GF on a Saturday night and then have the house to ourselves. We would then place a call for a case of beer to be delivered from the local liquor store. When the delivery guy arrived, I (the one with the deepest fake voice) would be in the hallway bathroom with the shower running and my friend would shout out 'Hey Dad, your beer is here!' In my best fake 'grown up' voice I would open the bathroom door and yell back - 'Just pay him. My wallet is by the coffee table.' Worked every time!!

Worked at a canoe rental place in a park. I would charge people the actual price, but on the sheet I would write down that they were only out for the minimum amount of time. I would pocket the difference. It was cash only and there were no receipts to give, so it worked flawlessly. Usually walked out of there with an extra 50 bucks a day, plus tips. The scary thing is that the owner was a police officer :P

When I was about 8, I had a lemonade stand that I operated with my neighbor. However, we ran out of lemonade on a particularly hot day. Therefore we decided to sell water. The water was just water from a hose, and someone even asked us if it was just water from the hose right behind us and we said that it definitely was not. We sold small dixie cup sized portions of hose-water for $.50 a pop. Pretty solid profit margins.

I charged kids $1 a minute to look at this ratty Hustler I found at a work site behind my house. I made $200 off that shit. Woot for being a latchkey kid!

McDonald's had a scratch-off lottery game in the 80's. The tickets had a car on them (A Chevy Corsica), the wheels were the scratchy parts. If they matched, you won the prize. We would gather up losing tickets, carefully cut out the $10 prize wheel, and glue it onto another ticket that already had one $10 prize wheel. This worked 10-12 times before they caught on. We took the last one to the counter, the clerk scratched the fake wheel off the ticket, and we took off. That was the end of my forgery career. I was 10 at the time. We probably would have done better if we'd spread them around other McDonald's restaurants, but we redeemed all the fake tickets at the same location (Hastings and Alpha in Burnaby, BC).
