So after out latest visit to a hotel, and after the bottle of fizz had finished, we opened the mini bar. (On a side note, why have bottled beer in the fridge that needs a bottle cap opener without keeping a bottle opener in the room also?) anyway, back to my point. As I’m a caveman I’m very capable of opening a bottle creatively. First one opened with a lovely refreshing ‘pshhh’ sound....the second? Nothing..... Some sod before us had filled it with good old H2O, capped it, and placed it back in the fridge! crafty f’kers.

What’s the cheekiest thing you’ve seen you can remember seeing someone do to get away with paying for something?

*the hotel didn’t charge us when we checked out and explained. Good hotel

Those bag for life have two bar codes. If one wears out your entitled to a free one . The free barcode is on the bottom,not on the side ...if you were of the type, you could scan the free bar code when you’d forgotten a bag...just saying

The trick with self service tills is keep the most expensive item until last pretend to scan it and press finish before you place it on the scales. It wont register on scales but it'll look like it's scanned as it's on the scales. A friend told me...

Pick up a brand new carrier bag and scrunch it in your hand so it is crumpled and staff will think it's an old one you have already paid for.

In the field where I walk my dog there is a standpipe that belongs to the Parish Council. I regularly see people filling up huge containers and driving off. I know everyone is entitled to water, but I have to pay for mine. It pees me off and I've reported it.

I work in a hotel and this is very common trick, tho with the mini bar in our rooms as soon as the item moves of the pressure pad it’s charged to the account straight away so filling it up with water and putting it is a waste of time and you only realise you get charged when you check the bank account lol

On the bottle opener thing that’s also a thing we do, we don’t have a bottle opener in rooms for the simple reason why give it for free when you can sell them at reception for £2.99

I’ve been known to grab a few buckets of grit from the yellow box at the end of my street to use in my path. . I pay my council tax you know.

I had a panic once after wheeling my trolley out of Morrisons and noticing a sachet of hot chocolate edged by the child seat.

I looked around, to make sure the security guard hasn't followed me out, and quickly shoved it into my shopping bag.

Not been for a long ass time now so no idea if it still happens, but in pizza hut when they used to bring those little mints over to your table.

I would carefully unwrap them, then roll one up in to a ball, place it in to the other wrapper and carefully seal it up as best I could. Then leave it hidden but slightly showing beyond the menu.

I took great pleasure in thinking of the excitement followed by disappointment when it was opened.

I once saw a lady come back into Sainsbury's with half a cucumber she had forgotten to pay for. Very honest of her.

It was a full one when she’d first left.
