What's the most ripped off you have ever felt?

On this, £800 for emergency imaging when my cat got hurt on a Saturday night.

When DM died, I took her engagement ring and mine to a local jewellery to have the stones taken out and added to my engagement ring, and have the shank of the rung thickened where it had worn down over the years. Discussed what he could do, and agreed a price of £380. Went to collect, he hadn't done what we agreed, none on mums stones added, and the price had gone up to £400. Refused to pay the higher price, took my ring, and the remnants if mums ring and left. I only wanted it doing as a sentimental souvenir. He closed down the following week, so we felt lucky to get the ring back.

That reminds me - fish and chips at a small cafe in a rather rundown seaside place a couple of years ago - out of season and chilly so we ate in the cafe. Asked if we would like sauce with the meals - yes please, I'll have mayo and DH would like ketchup. 2 x Heinz sauces came in little sachets. When the bill came we'd been charged £1.50 for each sachet! No mention of extra cost on menu or when verbally offered.

I would normally have left a fiver as a tip as the food was nice, service was OK and I like to 'support local industry' in our struggling seaside towns, but I didn't for that reason, so they lost out by £2 in the end.

Paying a solicitor. Absolute rip off - 150 pounds to send a bloody letter!

Taking my 8yr old DGD to cinema - £44 just for the tickets… FORTY FOUR POUNDS!!!

Normally I agree-but hes autistic and very black and white

In his head,mum had said he could have it,he doesn't 'get' money and saw the bigger version of the one he wanted rather than the smaller one (which would have been fine until a massive one was handed to him)

She ended up phoning me in tears and I dont blame her

Similar here came down one Sunday morning cat wasn't moving at all, rushed to vets kept in for 5 days on drip etc - turns out she was constipated - but they wanted 1,200e for the week treatment. Husband kicked up a stink and got it down to 700e. That was over 10 years ago now so god only knows how much it is today, now more clued in before i rush to the vets

Yes, even the Cadburys/Lindt outlet shops are the same price as you'd pay in the supermarkets. Used to be able to get some good bargains in them but not any more

80 euros for the tiniest steak ever, which must have weighed no more than 2 ounces in Santorini.

£9.50 for 2 calipos and a cup of tea at legoland last weekend.
It doesn't seem steep in comparison to some of these comments, but for someone who normally carries a hot drinks flask of tea and freezes a thermos to fill with tip tops or mini milks for a day out, I felt aghast 🙄

@thenightskyI went in about 09, I would say, so that’s a steep depreciation

I took DD to Cadbury World 32 years ago. It was amazing value for money back then and we got a huge bag of free chocolate as we went round. Plus the shop was all half price chocolates, from bars to big posh boxes. No fairground type rides at all, apart from a toddler sized roundabout. The factory tour took a few hours and was really interesting. DD is 40 this year and still has happy memories of Cadbury World. What a shame its gone to shit.

Yes - horrendous. This is quite a long time ago though. Small little bits of chocolate - constant queuing to go round very few demonstrations and a 3 minute “ride” that looked like it had been made on Blue Peter. It did say the “ride” was being refurbed soon.

I also didn’t rate Legoland and thought I would die climbing that big hill, didn’t realise there was a ride you could take to the top 🤦‍♀️

The entire experience of Cadbury World. I don’t know how they get away with it. Not yet RTFT but I will

I was going to mention there too.
There wasn’t a huge amount in the bag, around the amount you get in a share bag from a supermarket, and it weighed in at around £10. Told them no thanks and put my card away.

Shame I didn’t edit that post above for spellings 🫣

Also, the Zoe app a few years ago.So many people told me how life changing it was.£££ to eat some gross cookies just to be told veg, legumes and protein are good for me and that UPFs and sugar are not.Total rip off.

Same, dh and I had lunch at dalaman airport and it was about £40 for 2 sandwiches, 1 packet of crisps and 2 bottles of water.
and we were expecting it too 😂
Editited to add that of course we also bought more food on the plane and it seemed comparatively much better value!

Picked DD17 up in an unfamiliar small city last month and she went to the wrong carpark.Ended up driving around in circles trying to find her.2 weeks later I recieved 2 fines - one for driving in a taxi/bus drop off road at the station and one for driving back out of it 1 minute later.£35 each way.

Industry awards dinner at the Park Lane Hilton. Main course was lamb shank, mash, veg, gravy. Veggie option was half a cauliflower, roasted. No sauce, no rub, no jus, no gravy, no flavouring of anything at all. About 2 new potatoes, no other veg for the veggies, because we had veg apparently.

£4000 on a break to a boogie hotel in Italy that had staff that were struck down with Norovirus and kindly shared it with us on day 2 😩

£600 vet bill to be told the cat was “pining” for my youngest son!!!

Kids have to learn they can't have everything they want. I'd have explained that I couldn't afford that, and I have done in the past

There's no way I'd have thought £30 would be enough!

I would have been raging, that is absolutely terrible customer service. This is what sales targets do to people’s morals.
