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.
