Have you ever "worked the system" to get something?

You should have posted this on poli board

I once ordered 1600 items on amazon over many years and eventually was shipped an item twice by mistake. Amazon never knew it so I sold the extra item and broke even. Talk about working that system!

Just my white privilege.

Was in the military for 8 years. Definitely knew the system to pocket money on any travel, temporary duty, or deployments.

That made me dizzy.

in 1999-2000, I worked the online casino system . They offered 10-20% bonuses on your initial deposit. They didn't have clear cut rules on what you had to gamble to cash out.

One had ZERO rules and I deposited and immediately cashed out my $1000 and got a $1200 check.

Did another that said you had to gamble the bonus. So I deposited $1000 and had $1200 credits. I gambled $100 on black and $100 on red. bazinga. Got another $200 free money(well minus daily interest on the CC b/c those deposits were essentially cash advances).

After that a friend tried something like that and his account was terminated and his deposit returned to his credit card. They don't play that shite no more.

this was 17 yrs ago. I'm old.

Plus you get to hang out with a bunch of fat losers

I would do that for free regardless.

I once worked a boring office job and I hated it, as did a couple of my coworker friends - but it paid the bill.

I came to find out that they were about to get laid off, and I was completely out of fricks to give, so I colluded with them and we reprogrammed our company software to siphen off fractions of a penny from each transaction, into our own personal account - small enough so no one would notice.

Never got caught either. Our office burned down and destroyed any evidence against us.
