Jesus, before I pass judgement could you please let me know how?  :popcorn:  And honestly, not much will change my mind on thinking you're a tool...
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

Once a cab driver took my credit card info and tried to buy $500 worth of fruit baskets.

Maybe that counts?

I've been a victim of credit card fraud, but I wouldn't really call that a scam.

One time I was in Asia and a cab charged us like $13 when it probably only should have cost like $4. I was pretty po'd.

Cotton Bowl last year. Lost $300 through Craigslist cause I Western Unioned a money order to a "flight attendent". Yeah, I'm a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

Well basically I extended credit to the wrong guy, and now after 6 weeks of being lied to multiple times and strung along it is quite apparent he has no intention of paying me back for some milo hay that he bought from me.  I was fooled into thinking he was a legitimate farmer, but in truth he is a poor ass loser douchebag that is skilled at lying.  I am not the only one he has scammed, though.  I spoke with the sheriff today and found out he is being investigated for a similar scam on another farmer totaling about $25,000.

right before you kill the guy, say something like "now it's time to die at the hand of DEEZ NUTZ"

This guy was in the same class as me from kindergarten all the way through high school.  We never really hung out together back then, but I do remember specifically on the playground at recess he was the first person I ever heard say the word "eff".  I should have known that a kid who swears like a drunken sailor when they are in kindergarten is probably going to have lifelong character issues.

Go buy some empty barrels.  Like 5 or 6.  Then set them in a line his front door.  Order a good 6 or 7 yards of concrete.  Have the concrete truck guy back right up to the barrels and fill them up.  Do this when you know he will be gone for a good several hours.  Pay the extra to have accelerator added to the concrete.

Spray paint, "eff You" on the face of the barrels.

There are people out there who specialize in "handling" situations like this.
