he was calling from his cellphone. but when you hung up, the service rep probably figured that you were just embarassed because he called you out on calling from your home phone. in his mind he won. your hangup accomplished nothing.

Wow!
Sadly, you're probably correct. There is that chance that this guy is all proud of himself catching the prankster...

prankster? i don't think you understand. i think lazymeatball is saying that the phone guy figured you got embarrassed when you realized that your home phone actually did work, and you were an idiot for even calling in the first place.

Picked up "hot & ready" pizza last night for my kid. The young lady behind the counter told me it would be $6.35, including tax. I gave her a $5 bill, a $1 bill, and 2 quarters. She picked up one of those little 99cent calculators, that was lying next to the register. I gave her a funny look as she entered "6.50 - 6......" - she noticed me staring, and said "sorry, our register is broken. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

It's sickening how many times this situation comes up:

Cashier: "That will be $9.76"
Me: "Ok, here's $10.01"
Cashier: *blank stare*

You guys do realise there's at least one way to make money from tards like this? Using requests for change at teh same time? Watch 'paper moon' if you didn't know about it.

I’m walking back from lunch the other day, past a parking attendant waving at cars with an orange flag. As I’m walking by him... No car keys out or anything.
He says “You can park here” I say “No, thanks I’m walking” He stares at me and says “You’re walking?” [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Ok, here's a summary I found:
----------------
The con artist goes into a store to buy something under a dollar. At the register, he pays with a $5 bill. The store clerk takes the $5 and gives him the change. Then comes following exchange.

The con artist says, "I have too many singles in my wallet. Let me give you five $1 bills and you give me a $5 bill."

The clerk gives him a $5 bill and takes the five ones. So far so good.

While the clerk still has the five ones in his hand, the con artist says, "I still have too many bills in my wallet. Let me give you back the $5 bill, together with the five ones in your hand. And in exchange, you give me a $10 bill."

The clerk unwittingly hands him a $10 bill -- not knowing that he only owes $5, not $10, at that point.
----------------------
You can scale up the denominations of course.

Actually, now I've pasted and read it, it doesn't sound very likely, does it?

Kate Veatch: $5 million! Peter, are you kidding me?
