LOL you cheapskates are funny. We had a scam in highschool (no I'm not a 90's baby)where you try to call a long distance number from a payphone and then insist you had already put 8 bucks worth of quarters in the phone. They wouldn't connect you but would cut a check for the amount... I got to the point where I had to change my last name slightly because they had cut so many checks to me. I think I got at least $200 from that one. The other one is calling the 1-800 number on the back of doritos or whatever candy bar whatever you got and complain about the quality. They send you coupons for free shit.
Man you 90's babies got it easy, with all these class action suits, etc.
We used to figure out ways to bust up vending machines, including cutting a dollar in half and putting tape on it so we could put it in and pull it out and still register a dollar in the machine. We had saline solution to spray in the dollar slots to short the machines. We used to unplug them and try to short them to get free shit.
Now 90's babies just sign up for a website and get everything handed to them, no hustle necessary.
