    I went to my local harley dealership today, just to pick up a few little items.

    I brought SE spark plug leads, Chrome timing cover, S100 Engine Brightener & a couple of decals......

    Paid what I was told and was on my way.

    Got home and pulled everything out of the bag including receipt, checked it

    and found that there was only 3 items instead of 4 on the receipt, they had not charged me for the SE leads!!!!

    This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, has anything like this happened to anyone else?

    do tell your stories...........

    Same thing happened to me at a hardware store a while back, got myself a nice 8M tape measure for nothing. Considered taking it back for about 1/10th of a second. I like that sort of discount.

    I did a tiling job once for these really nice people they owed me $3500.00 they paid me cash I trusted them so much that I did't count the money in front of them. On the way home my brother opened the envelope and counted the money there was $7000.00 in it . so i rang them and told them they had paid me too much. they couldn't believe it and then went on to tell me that they borrowed extra money so they could get the job done, they had paid for the tiles as well. anyway they couldn't thank me enough and said they would recommend me to their friends. I ended up tiling 6 other houses in that street and the best part was that they all paid me cash.

    Had a trolly full of stuff at bunnings one day and my credit card wouldn't swipe so they sent me to the customer service counter with the reciept to get it put through manually, when i got there it was packed and the girl who checks your docket could tell I wasn't happy, so I said to her is this the only counter and she replied yes and that i could come back any time to discuss my problem, so i walked out with a trolly full for nothing. Couldn't get to the car quick enough......Easiest $350.00 I ever earnt......

    Bought a pack of ciggies from the local Coles Supermarket, paid with a $20.00 note and was given change for a $50.00. Only reason I never said anything cause I know that I have been ripped of by Coles many times. Same occation, walking back to the car I founf $5.00 on the ground....was my lucky day no doubt.

    What happen to me was more than just luck,almost got t-bone going around an aroundabout by a cager not seeing me. I hit the brakes and went down only to see the car tyres miss me by inches. Bike was a 250 and was looking at getting rid of it anyway because of my fatty. Insurance agree on the damage and paided out to me $3300 and left me the bike to do what i please so I spent $40 to replace indicator and brake lever to get the bike back on the road then sold the bike as is for $3000 .Work out I got my money back from when I paid it new.
