Refuse to pay
ATM charges. I am prepared to walk the mile to the nearest bank
Hate Paying For
Parking tickets. (but have been pretty good in the last 12 months)I've lost over 100lbs in two years, I can be debt free too.0 -
Parking in my local council park on weekend days (£1)
I walk the dog there everyday and am forced to pay £1 just because its a Sat/Sun. There's even a man on the gate demanding the cash!
Dry cleaning!! A right old rip off - am forced to dry clean the suits I wear every day for work but hate doing it.
Road tax - don't get me started!0 -
hate paying for:
tenancy fees. upwards of £90 when you first move into a place. arghjghghgh!
booking and handling fees on concert tickets, especially when they charge you £3 for posting but then just stick a 2nd class stamp on it.
trainers for my son every 2 or 3 months because he just can't stop growing. since he hit a size 6, the price has almost doubled.
bus and train fares before 9 am, especially when you don't even get a seat and have to stand. if i go to london before 9 am, it costs £32 return and it's rare that i'll get to sit down throughout that journey.
bras that double in price just because you're over a C Cup
umbrellas that break when there's the slightest hint of a breeze
if anyone knows where i can get a decent, yet reasonably priced umbrella that won't break, please let me know!0 -
Great Thread

- Paying Motorway Service Station Prices for ANYTHING, when there is usually a supermarket very close to the next junction. :mad:
