    Created by Ken Cheng, a comedian on LinkedIn, its a circlejerk story meant to poke fun at the hustler mentality of most LinkedIn users.

    I owed a friend £22.91 for an Uber.
    
    I transferred them £22.19 by accident.
    
    They never brought it up.
    
    Nobody would bring up 72p.
    
    I did it on purpose. 
    
    I've been doing it for years.
    
    Every time I have to transfer someone money, I "accidentally" leave off a bit.
    
    I call it the Plausible Deniability Typo.
    
    £24.37 instead of £24.73.
    £9.38 instead of £9.83.
    £3.46 instead of £3.64.
    
    Sometimes if I'm feeling really risky, I'll do £18.54 instead of £19.54.
    
    They'd look like a complete tool to quibble over this.
    
    Instead, they are a tool in a different way.
    
    A tool for me to get to the top.
    
    I've probably made £100 over 5 years.
