Things you hate spending money on

iamafoodie

I was just thinking today of the things I hate spending money on. It really annoys me in a coffee where they charge you extra for an extra slice of bread with soup!! 1 slice is not enough!!


Anyone else have any other ones?

Señor Fancy Pants

Getting charged an extra €0.50 if I buy phone credit in a shop.

"€10 phone credit please shoppie"

"No problem Sir, that will be €10.50 please"

"Well fcuk!"

The Backwards Man

I hate spending money.

kneemos

Sir Osis of Liver.

Spending another euro on bag for life every time I go into a shop,when I have about ten grands worth of them in a press at home.

Edit:Sorry kneemos,bet me to it.

+1 It was originally only Dunnes who never seemed to have the 22c ones in stock. Now tesco are guilty of it too. Bought some in Argos the other day, from the self service, and requested a bag. They gave me my purchase in a black sack. Wtf.

Also on the shelf in the self same shop is a role of plastic bags for €1.49

frozenfrozen

car insurance, they probably would find a way not to pay out when I ever actually need it

Shenshen

Anything to do with the car.
I feel it's and absolute black hole for money, but living in rural Ireland I've no choice.

I'm considering an electrical car, to cut down on the running costs.

Zaph

TV licence. It pains me to hand over €160 every year to fund channels that I might watch once in a blue moon.

This used to drive me up the wall. Got a bill phone then so no longer have to put up with it anymore. I often wondered if I looked like a knob when I said "no thanks, you can keep your credit".

My kids...

I work all week earning it.... Then they want to spend it all on sweets, computer games and phone credit... It's just not fair...

Dunnes having a long running row with Revenue, so no bags that attract the charge available. Levy doesn't apply to bags 70c and over.

Dunnes are shysters

Wang King

Weddings.... €150-200 in a card for a horrific 3 course meal ......not sure about the bride, but I'm definitely getting screwed!

Yeah, you're probably sweating with the security man hot on your heals.

Inter generational dole scroungers

JacquesDeLad

Bottled water in airports.

HamsterFace

Car tax! Have a nice 1.8 but only drive at the weekend, hate the amount of tax I pay!

I'm happy to pay for water but not until everyone is paying, I'm Looking forward to the day when the pay for nothing brigade have to pay at least something

Turtyturd

Any charges associated with banks, particularly missed direct debit charges, robbery.

FCUK ME.

KungPao

Underpants.

long_b

Extortionate mobile broadband charges for when you go over your limit.
They make sure not to give you a "Cut me off after I've used my allowance" option

Shannon757

Women.

closcriobh

Razor blades. Every time I go and stock up they seem to have gone up in price.

mad m

Loads of stuff,

Commission on changing money in banks,
Bank charges especially if you want a draft note, an extra 2+ euro please...

Agreed, my quarterly charge of about 50 euros is so annoying, I had it for free up until recently

Collie D

Ketchup sachets, little butters,etc.

Can live without ketchup but mini butter in staff canteen costs 20c - same price as the bleeding toast.

I usually try to hide a rasher under some beans before paying to make me feel better about it. One day I hope to have worked my way up to a bottle of orange juice under the beans. I don't even like beans

digzy

parking

NachoBusiness

Air for tyres.

Few places you can still get it free, but when I need it, I always seem to be near a god damn place that charges for it.

wnolan1992

Condoms. I mean, how are you expected to use all of them before the expiration date? Thievery of the highest order.

Massimo Cassagrande

Insomnia coffee from the coffee-woman counter because the self-service machines are all broken. €2.50 for the same cup of coffee as opposed to €2 from the self service. I can get my own, fix yer feckin machines...

mailforkev

Music and movies.

I know that downloading it is theft but I hit college age just as Napster came on the scene and really became accustomed to just getting it for free from t'internet.

The sheer ineptitude of the entertainment industry in harnessing the internet left over a decade for me to forget you once had to pay for CDs etc.

At least now there's legal ways like Spotify and Netflix. If you charge a reasonable price then I'll pay. I do go to the cinema a good bit too.

You deserve it to be honest if your drinking that Shiite.

Toto Wolfcastle

Socks. I actually like when people buy me socks as a present because it means I don't have to spend my own money on them. No idea why I hate spending money on them though.

PTH2009

Razor blades (really expensive)
Service charge on tickets
Plastic bags

If I have to pay extra for something I pay it without fuss I don't give out to the shop assistant but in your head it eats away inside u.

jungleman

Toilet paper. It's something I take for granted, always thinking is just there. Then when it runs out, I resent paying money for something which I literally use to rub on my dirty hole.

I also hate buying it because when someone sees you walking around Tescos holding toilet paper, they know that you are planning to shít later and are planning ahead.

All in all, **** you toilet paper.

Bugs the **** out of me. Not sure if they still call it a transaction fee. Yes, I'm buying four tickets but I'm only making one transaction.

Bastards!

Youngblood.III

Property tax...sickens me, paid 23k in stamp duty in 2006 for my house..fcukers

NicoleW85

Tolls & car parking. Surely the ROAD TAX we all pay annually would cover that kind of carry on too?
I know naff all about politics. Nor do I give a damn about politics. But seriously, charging people to drive on a road & then park in a small space where you run the risk of having your vehicle scratched/damaged is beyond me...

Riddler87

Señor Fancy Pants

Also, hotel mini bars!

I fcuking love the things! It's the first thing I do when I get to a hotel room....raid the hell out of it then complain (to myself) when I have to pay for it at checkout.

Mini bottles of spirits, a bar of chocolate, handful of nuts (heh), two mini cans of mixer....that will be €100 please.

I never learn

Rackstar
