But things just happen oppositely in reality (at least at here). You try to withdraw $100 and you get $50 (your account showed you withdrawed $100). Sigh~ :) Nice story.

Ever tugged hopefully at a chocolate bar dispenser on an underground station? I did once and got a free Kit-Kat. Question - Did I pull the lever again? Clue: Haven't been able to eat one again...

Then greed does catch up to you. I remember in my high school we had to pay for 'printer credits'. Then some people discovered a way to hack the system and give themselves free printer credits, they all got caught because they gave themselves '999,999,999' (max possible) credits.
