I will probably get flamed for this. But come on.....we've all told a little white lie every now again to get what you want.

My story is as follows:

I live in Bris Vegas and I lied about being a British Tourist and got from Brisbane to the Gold COast in a taxi for 10 dollars. I can put on the accent when I need to.

Anyone else?

(OK yes I am watching 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' as I write this.)

Once, before I got a driving licence, me and a friend found the keys to my mum's car (she'd gone on holiday and attempted to hide the keys...didn't do a very good job). We drove around like madmen for pretty much a week without any real trouble...until I crashed. I parked the car outside the house and made it look like a truck had bumped into it on the way past. I claimed to have heard and seen the incident but didn't get the number plate in time. The Insurance company were fooled and paid for the damage totalling some 800GBP.

Lucky. To this day, Mom doesn't know. That was in 1998.

Back in the day I scammed people all the time for ten, twenty and hundreds of dollars, including just taking wads of cash from kids. But those would not be good stories for this forum

A friend and I got a temporary 2-bedroom apartment in Rio de Jainero for a couple months.

He could only stay one month.. so the second month i rented out his room for the full price of the apartment.. hehe.. rent free for me! Great during Carnival in particular!

I married a wealthy old lady and had her put me in her will. Then she died and I got filthy stinking rich.

Also, I went to Las Vegas and had my autistic older brother count cards to help me win at blackjack. They don't like it when you do that, oddly.

Once I saw a guy drop his ski-check tag on his way to the lodge; I picked it up and claimed his stuff - brand new GNU Sissy snowboard with Bent Metal bindings. Poor guy must have got it for Christmas...

That was in 1997, I still have that snowboard to this day.

Wow, I was an assh*le.

I worked at a gas station. Petro canada. They used to run these $1 off a 25l fill up coupons in the Saturday paper. The Saturday paper cost 50 cents. I'd buy a heap of Saturday papers, clip the $1 coupon. When someone bought 25l without a $1 coupon, I'd toss one in the til and take out a dollar. I'd double my money!

Grade 10. Skipped a class the same day as a "pop quiz". Teacher was old...told me he thinks he lost my paper. I acted as though he lost my best quiz ever. I got a very undeserved "A".

I remember at halloween when I was about 10 or so, me and my friend would find a big group of kids and go trick or treating with them. At every house, we'd always make sure we were the 1st and 2nd kids to get some candy. We were also the 5th and 6th kids and then the 9th and 10th. After all the other kids had gone, we'd go for broke and try just alternating between the two of us until the person told us to go away. hahaha. we always had the most candy.

My driving test. 18 years old.

I knew I wouldn't pass the eye-test. I can only really see out of my left eye. My right eye has an atrophied optic nerve. In medical terms it's knackered.

So, in those days the eye test was very casual. You just had to read the registration number of a car in the driving test center parking lot from about 60 feet away. I knew I couldn't do that so I decided I should memorize all the cars number plates before I went into the test center.

There were only about 7 cars. I was lucky.

I spent about 10 minutes memorizing the plates then went into the test center. The guy took me out and asked me to read the number of the red Ford Escort. I got it right!

That was before I lost my powers of memory to mary jane.....

BTW. To get my Korean driving licence I had to cheat in the eyetest also. When I had the paddle over my left eye I was virtually blind so I had to sneakily move it down and look over the top of it to read the letters on the eye-chart.
