Playing Games
U/Zikben: “Back in high school I would buy massive quantities of arcade tokens from the manufacturers off of eBay. I was getting about $10 worth of tokens for each $1 spent.
I was there one afternoon when some kid went up to the counter and pointed out that the token machine was giving out tokens from some other arcade. The owner was more than upset and I knew it was time to find a new arcade.”
Money Well Spent
U/Beyond_Re-Animator: “When I quit a job over a decade ago, my [jerk] of a boss forgot to submit my termination form. I kept getting paid for over 3 months. And I was a manager, making pretty good coin. I knew they’d eventually catch it, and I thought they’d ask for the money back, so I banked every check and didn’t spend a cent.
So the paychecks eventually stopped after 3+ months, and I waited for the call or letter asking for the money. It never came. Two years later I used the money to buy my hot tub. Now my [butt] gets massaged by bubbling water thanks to my incompetent ex-boss.”
